Line 66 ⟶ 67:
On June 28 at 12:55 AM CST, Gwen127 from the town of Lost Wind in Synbio posted a photo of graves created for the "victims of slavery" of Pultria that died under King chickenprism's rule. However, because neither Gwen nor chickenprism clarified that the "slaves" were actually chickens, the other leaders of Alathra believed that the slaves were other players, causing a public outrage against chickenprism. As the day wore on, accusations flew with chickenprism charging Gwen127 with intentionally slandering Pultria and even sending death threats, though none of these claims were substantiated.
Nonetheless, these tensions came to a head when chickenprism declared war on Lost Wind at 1:15 AM CST. However, in order to deny Pultria of a war, at 4:23 PM CST, Gwen127 decided to disband Lost Wind, and with ConacoGaming and NaaMannnn's help, disbanded the nation of Synbio altogether to join the FCA, which was allied with Pultria at the time. Furious, King chickenprism marched to Lost Wind At 9:15 PM CST to demand that the FCA hand over the town. In order to deter chickenprism, Prime Minister spiceymonkey1349 led a detachment of Uhovian knights to Lost Wind while CoolGummyBear of Redwood set up an outpost to deny chickenprism access to the town's supplies. After a lengthy standoff between spiceymonkey1349 and chickenprism, the FCA's Chancellor Cody29797 arrived and entered into a private conference with King chickenprism.
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.
===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.
When megadolon learned of AlphaSpade and chickenprism's plans, he angrily resigned and left Icesteel along with a handful of Iceburg residents to form the town of Brittania Bay, soon declaring war on Icesteel and Pultria. The once-mighty Icesteel Empire was now fragmented and vassalized, now relying on Pultria and Ashina to help realize its conquest.
===Vasya's Declaration===
Inevitably, Pultria and Icesteel's advances on the continent of Koganon drew the ire of the anti-colonialist leader of Kogongu, Vasya. On June 30th, the normally pacifistic leader threatened to declare war on the expansionist nations, stating: "The Kogongi people are not violent, it is true. But we have been moved to violence."
Emperor AlphaSpade countered Vasya by pointing out her recent annexation of Bal Duran, a sacred mountain to the northwest of Kais Kogong. Vasya responded by rationalizing that the annexation of a nearby area was vastly different from Pultria "crossing the world in order to expand their borders." After this searing indictment, even Grandpa_Boob, an outspoken supporter of Pultria and Icesteel, admitted, "Vasya_ out here spitting bars."
Soon, the mesa city-state of New Reno followed suit and declared war on Pultria, pledging to support Kogongu as well as Brittania Bay.
===The FCA's Ultimatum===
Up to this point, the FCA was torn between supporting Pultria and Petroselinum. On one hand, the FCA wished to support Petroselinum's autonomy as it had with Lost Wind and Synbio. On the other hand however, the FCA was still allied with Pultria, and risked damaging its reputation by breaking its alliance with Pultria to defend Petroselinum. After much deliberation, at 4:18 PM on June 30, Chancellor Cody29797 issued an ultimatum to Pultria: cease its expansion or have the FCA break its alliance and declare war.
===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.
===Chickenprism's Response===
At 7:41 PM, chickenprism gave his response to the FCA in a rousing speech, mockingly promising to cease hostilities and to pay reparations to the FCA and Kogongu. He then denounced what he called the "intimidation tactics" of the FCA and Kogongu, stating, "I refuse to bargain with either The FCA or Kogongu. If they wish to get involved with the affairs of my nation, they will soon find out the consequences. I will take on both nations in this war if it comes down to it." Alathra was now unquestionably headed towards war.
Soon after chickenprism's response, Fare-Sesso declared war on Pultria, setting the stage for a massive battle between both sides.
