Aloria Story Progression Regalian Crisis: Drixagh Flashpoint

[MonMarty]

Following the Non-Aggression Pact signed between House Haagenvig, House Sorenvik, House Howlester and guaranteed by the Interior Peace Minister, the response to the supposed peace proclamation was instant anger from the Drixagh people. The Skagger Elders who had proclaimed Sorenvik and Haagenvig just prior as one of the Great Three immediately revoked their support for these farce warlords, seeing as they sent a strong message that Howlester was allowed to keep owning lands in Drixagh, and even permit Howlester to station far more troops than the local lords were allowed to.

In Sorenvik lands, a local family Koljarvik immediately seized on the discontent of the Sorenvik Bannerlords by essentially halving her lands and declaring to support the newly formed North Restoration pact led by Zastórzy in the hopes of succeeding where Sorenvik could not. Equally in Haagenvig lands, a distant scion of House Santorski proclaimed rule, citing Velheim inheritance law that invalidated Ania Santorski from bearing the family banner as an indentured housewife, and that Katriane Howlester was not a Santorski in any way, rallying the support of some disgruntled local barons who still longed back to the days of the Consortium, to re-establish the legacy of House Santorski after Aaron and Ellenora had ruined it.

Various other lords either banded together or declared a public stance, eventually leading to both a peace pact forming with the interests to preserve stability and order, a Calemberg Expansion union forming with the aim of crushing the Drixagh Velheimers, and a Ceardian Highlander pact forming with the aim to press further claims on Drixagh for Ceardian Highlander expansion which was constricted in Gallovia due to lack of suitable land to build. The Flashpoint essentially established itself as a potential four way struggle with a number of families remaining undeclared, the situation so tense that it would remain to be seen how the other nobles would respond. Indeed, the situation seemed almost explosive, but the sides were all holding their breaths for one response: how House Howlester would choose.

The treaty was ratified by the Emperor and all alliances save for the Gallovian Alliance, thus war has been avoided.
