Line 71:

There, the two parties reached a compromise: King chickenprism would give up his claim of Lost Wind in exchange for being allowed to build an outpost on a nearby hill to the south. Cody would likewise build an outpost near Savage Crow, the capital of Pultria. While this compromise helped to avoid open conflict, the stage was set for a clash between the two nations.

==The Petroselinum War==

===Icesteel's Petroselinum Problem===

On June 29, Emperor AlphaSpade of the First Icesteel Empire declared his intent to annex the island nation of Petroselinum in order to extend his empire to the western coast of Koganon. Initially, King chickenprism threatened to "eradicate the Icesteel Empire with the force of a thousand suns" for laying claim to Petroselinum. Fearing Pultria's intervention, AlphaSpade attempted to negotiate a non-aggression pact with Pultria, which King chickenprism bluntly refused. Ultimately, AlphaSpade agreed to give up his title as Emperor and to join Pultria in exchange for help with conquering Petroselinum. In addition, chickenprism managed to secure the spoken support of several nobles from Ashina, most notably King Ripesack and Grandpa_Boob of Lothridge, who he had lived with before his time in Pultria. However, Lord megadolon, the newly-crowned Lord of Iceburg, was not consulted about this merge or Ashina's involvement.

===Icesteel's Betrayal===

Seeing the mounting opposition against himself and chickenprism, AlphaSpade decided to break away from Pultria and re-found the Icesteel Empire, joining the other nations in defending Petroselinum. In a remarkable twist of irony, the man who had first proposed to conquer Petroselinum now vowed to protect it. Thus, Pultria was left to face the FCA, Kogongu, and New Reno alone.

==The Battle of Petroselinum==

===Chickenprism's Leverage===

At some point before the battle began, chickenprism managed to obtain the original copies of several significant historical documents from the Library of Kais Kogong, including The Fire Synod by Vasya, The Tale of MTA by LordMonkey1, and the Slavongrad-Ashina Treaty. While he claimed that a spy from Kogongu gave him the books, Vasya asserted that the books were stolen while a section of the library was unclaimed. Regardless of how the books were acquired, chickenprism now had several invaluable hostages that he could use to bargain with the other nations.

===The Battle Begins===

On July 1 at 2:00 PM CST, the two armies met at the ford between Petroselinum and Koganon. On the north side of the ford, the alliance forces were able to take cover behind the thick spruce trees which dotted the coastline. To the south, the attacking Pultria troops were forced to advance across an open snowy plain as well as ice floes in the river.
