The '''Posolic Wars''' were a series of two continental wars that occurred in [[Aurora]] between 1795 and 1826.

▲Vakhudan seized power over [[Baykalia]] in the July 1795 Coup during the Era of Uncertainty and immediately set out in the nation's establishment on the world stage as the Baykalian Empire, a ''de facto'' military dictatorship with a strong bureaucracy and a well trained army. He quickly formed a coalition with the Ethalrian Empire, who was ruled by Queen Matilda IV and were bitter with the [[Morstaybishlian Empire]] for seizing the Marislian region over eighty years before.

▲[[Ethalria (Grand Matriarchy)|Ethalria]] had the Marislian lands and [[Caltharus]] as a whole set out to re-establish their naval supremacy on the world stage. Vakhudan wanted the Marislian lands, but with a powerful ally able to fend off Morstaybishlia, he allowed Ethalria free reign. In March of 1795, the first coalition came to fruition and the war began.
▲Ethalria at this point still had a formidable fleet based in Kostörsdel, and immediately rallied it at Chita. Pooling in troops and resources from across the empire, including the Kormistazic principality; Morstaybishlia began mobilising troops to defend the Marislia lands. The Invasion of Marislia (1795-96) by the coalition saw them defeat Morstaybishlia at two big battles; the Battle of Fort Nocturnia and the Battle of Lambertupol; the final battle was fought by sea and land and forced Morstaybishlian forces back behind the Ider River.
Just after the Invasion of Marislia, Vakhudan’s forces moved through the Ethalrian-occupied Marislia and around the Kalivian mountains, and began their push southwards towards the fractured Salovian territories, who at this time had formed a number of different nations and city states in the absence of a unifying presence, most notably the city states of Shagonar and Novosibirsk, and the Nelic States.
During the time in which
Seeing significant losses on the left and right of the empire within less than a year, the Morstaybishlian Empire called on forces from its colonies. The Viceroys from
Ethalria leagued with the newly independent Andel City State and Jilkanian Republic, and began invading the Valerian lands of Morstaybishlia. The new city state blocked off the Morstaybishlians from entering the Valerian lands via
In 1799, Ethalria beat Morstaybishlia at the Battle of Kirdintayos and began absorbing all of its surrounding lands and cities who surrendered. The South Ethalrian city states that today make up [[Asilica]] neighbouring this now colossal empire felt that their sovereignty was threatened.
Line 23:
By April 1800, the South Ethalrian city states reached an agreement with Morstaybishlia. This treaty between the two nations would see Morstaybishlia recognise an independent and unified South Ethalria (later to be named Asilica) if they could use their lands to port and invade the Ethalrian occupied territories. As the Morstaybishlians were sailing past [[Valerica]], their enemy who had leagued with the Ethalrians; they were ambushed by a fleet from its capital, and the ensuing battle was known as the Battle of Baecca Strait. Morstaybishlia suffered losses, but they were strong enough to repel them back and continue with their mission. Doing so gave a massive element of surprise to Morstaybishlia, and at the same time in the Zycannes, Morstaybishlia broke through via a previously undiscovered route. Having a huge force north and south by the latter months of 1800, the Morstaybishlian and South Ethalrian forces encircled and starved out the Ethalrians.
Meanwhile, Ethalria ignored their losses and by February 1801 began a huge coalition invasion with
In a fierce battle, 44 Morstaybishlian ships of the line fought 58 Ethalrian and
The battle saw Morstaybishlia take a more aggressive incentive as it now had naval supremacy in the
Using this new foothold, Morstaybishlia found more success in reclaiming the cities of Lamburnum and Novenum in a series of battles between 1803 and 1805, the reclamation of the heavily defended cities would serve Morstaybishlia well, acting as a secure and larger base of operations to reclaim land further south. After reclaiming Waron, both sides laid off attacks in preparation for a Morstaybishlian invasion of Kingsfort; a strategic city, which reclaiming would prevent or greatly limit Ethalria from supplying its new coastal city possessions.
