Tyrannian Invasion of Vlissinghelm
Current Alliances
Von Duerr started the movements of the week by committing to the truce with Viduggla, removing their ships from blockade and sending two Wealth Bales to Viduggla as war reparations, bringing an end to their war. Norrvakt secured their coast with a ship and put all their troops on the defensive, sending additional troops to the Kathar war by 15,000. Viduggla paid one Wealth Bale to von Rahm in exchange for the Krupp-held lands, returning them and fulfilling half the agreement with the Krupp manors, increasing his local support. Viduggla also spent another 2 Wealth Bales to buy two new ships, and declared his intention of warring on Norrvakt over a proclamation which Norrvakt supposedly was to make about becoming the Warden of the North and the Raakhr of the Velheim people.
Sorenvik confirmed an alliance with Viduggla and also committed to attacking Norrvakt, mobilizing soldiers in response. While von Rahm's ships retreated from Viduggla's lands, one of Viduggla's ships sailed out and opened fire on the von Rahm ships as they sailed away, technically violating the truce between the two states. When reprimanded after the event, the captain said he received a large sum of money and explicit orders from Viduggla to attack the retreating ships, with Viduggla commanders quickly stating they issued no such order. The presence of money in the hands of the captain, made it obvious it concerned a bribe. House von Rahm then retreated these ships back to their homeland, after which they loaded two Wealth Bales and sailed for Sorenvik's lands to deliver the finances safely. Upon arriving at port, the ships were moored, the sailors fed drunk, until the Sorenvik sprung a trap and captured the ships, seizing von Rahm's fleet and manning it with sailors of their own, while also capturing the money von Rahm had sent to Sorenvik. As a result of losing their entire fleet and three quarters of their wealth with nothing to show for, von Rahm was humiliated and lost a considerable chunk of support from their Manors.
Sorenvik also spent two Wealth Bales to buy 20,000 mercenaries, placing 17,000 in Viduggla's Skarvaland for defensive purposes, and sending 3,000 soldiers along with Viggo Kinsley along with von Rahm's ships to specific orders to "sail to the Peirgarten fleet". The Peirgarten fleet was however still moored in the Hinterlands on account of the Grand Duchess receiving "ill news of grave insult from Baron Norrvakt to the Grand Duchess" and had not committed her fleet to his defense. As Sorenvik ships sailed into the Hinterlands bay, Peirgarten ships sallied out in much greater numbers, outnumbering them two to one). Viggo Kinsley was not even able to try and board any of the Peirgarten ships, the von Rahm stolen-now-Sorenvik ships suffered heavy losses in the encounter on account of being southron ships which the Velheimers could not properly rig and steer. Two of the three ships sank, and the last one legged away in defeat back to Sorenvik's lands.
Viduggla and Sorenvik's mobilization saw a grand call of arms against Norrvakt and his supposed scheme to have himself proclaimed King of Drixagh. All kinds of proclamations were made, but none of the predictions came true. It was true that Sorenvik had captured von Rahm sailors, but the Manors knew quite well that it was the Duchess's betrayal of their good faith that led to their capture. The manors also saw no evidence of Peirgarten ships on Norrvakt's coast, in fact Norrvakt had a pittance of a fighting force left standing that was not even capable of invading anyone. Furthermore, the cited clause against Typhonus was quickly denounced as he was clearly mobilizing for Viduggla's aggressive claim on now occupied Krupp lands. As a result, the mobilization didn't result in much. Furthermore, proclamations of this yet unproven Warden of the North theory on Norrvakt's case resulted in the wrong message being sent to the eastern Velheimers. Zastorzy, the Kerwolf Barons and the Freehold barons saw all these claims and dismissed them out of hand, seeing instead Sorenvik and Viduggla prepping to destroy sovereignty of the North, starting with Norrvakt, and ending with them. They formally united into a loose coalition and landed an ultimatum on the doorstep of Norrvakt and Sorenvik: "Back off from Norrvakt or it's war. Do with Typhonus as you please, but your expansion has gone on for long enough in Drixagh and will not come at our expense".
Krupp tried to send 1,000 soldiers to the war front, but the remainder of Krupp's men mutineer-ed against him when they considered that this was a lackluster last attempt at gathering any sort of sympathy, seeing Krupp as the fallen last echo it had become. The Emperor terminated Krupp's noble lineage soon after, demoting them to Commoners. Typhonus, as a result to the increasing struggle in the north however, was able to summon a sizable force in the defense of Calemberg, gaining 60% mobilization force.
Delmotte paid 2 Wealth Bales for the entirety of Eliopolous's colonies, including a buy offer for 2 new warships for another 2 Wealth Bales. With the sale of Eliopolous's final colonies that they had been working on for so long, the Manors spoke scandal against the Baroness for sending off Eliopolous's assets so quickly and without a fight, dropping Manor Support by half, and making it dangerously low. Frisque went on a large diplomatic effort to speak to the Varran Corsair lords and administrators of the City states, all of whom responded lackluster. While it was true that in Regalia Frisque remained the most prominent Varran, in terms of power comparison with the other Corsair Lords he was a small fish, and also didn't offer anything to any of these meetings, merely words. The Varrans as such responded lackluster, often ignoring or just sending Frisque away when he came showing.
Dei Olzolli sent some orders but needs to re-examine how orders are sent, and examine the Statistic Spreadsheet, because dei Olzolli seems to not be fully aware how mobilization works or troop assignment. As such no Olzolli orders were processed. Von Drachenburg dedicated one ship to the Kathar war, and sent a colonial effort to Jorrhildr, while Peirgarten did the same, and spent 1 Wealth Bale on trying to bribe her manors to support her, with little to no success. of Brilonde sent troops into von Rahm's Essalonian colony, stalling colonial growth, and trying the same with Kraus colonies, however Kraus outnumbered of Brilonde 5,000 to 1,000, and as such of Brilonde's troops were forced to retreat. Of Brilonde also bought an additional ship for one Wealth Bale, while Kraus also sent another 5,000 soldiers to the Kathar War.
House de Letoirneau sent 10,000 mercenaries to the Van de Veer occupied Harhold lands, along with 20,000 that were just bought by Harhold for reinforcing the lands. The 30,000 mercenaries dug in to defend against the inevitable Tyrannian invasion, which would have normally put them in a better position to deflect a Tyrannian attack. Tyrannian however didn't come alone, offering vast political concessions to the Manors of van de Veer's lands, which essentially turned on Harhold and rallied troops all around their Mercenaries while Tyrannian fought them head on. Obviously, the Mercenaries evaporated when attacked from all sides, and Tyrannian was able to convince the Manors to simply accept annexation, which they did, with the additional Liberum Veto powers promised. Tyrannian was now in control of the entire Veer, for the first time in forever, but had taken considerable manpower losses doing so, while Harhold actually managed to summon a larger amount of troops in his homeland due to the pocket lining of the Gaekraan Bankers. House de Letoirneau also proposed a financial union with the Pays Sud Viceroyalties, however this was rejected. The Pays Sud Viceroyalties indicated that they had no desire to talk to a Countess, when their previous Duchess had a much higher political standing, essentially saying that de Letoirneau wasn't prestigious enough to talk to them.
du Brierüst sent 2 Wealth Bales to Delmotte as a loan, while Rote sent 30,000 soldiers to the Kathar war, along with a proclamation of "General Neutrality" in all conflicts. House Black bought another Warship, while Ravenstad also bought a Warship. Ravenstad also sent emissaries to the Ivrae lands to scope out their defenses and offer a "defense on loan deal". The Ivrae responded that they had no intention of accepting troops in their lands, as such vulgar military means were far beneath them, and that they would presume no-one would attack them anyway since they weren't a viable military target. House Idomeneus sent 10,000 troops to the warfront while also colonizing a part of Essalonia, though without any troops, as the manors refused to mobilize troops for a simple colonization. House Blackjaw finally also announced an end to a season of hostilities, sending 20,000 troops to the Kathar War front.
The biggest kicker of this turn however came from House Lampero in the Vultarin Hegemony. After the Iron Duke's general mobilization, 150,000 soldiers stood ready to enforce the Vultarin decree as it was spread to all the nobles in all the realms of the land. The proclamation read a general "Council's Iron Peace", a form of military enforced truce across the Empire's internal realms for the period of several weeks. The Iron Duke essentially promised to invade any feudal lord with his force and fleet, if they violated the Council's Iron Peace, which was then quickly ratified by the Emperor. As a result, all conflicts were forcibly put on hold, and the Manors of the individual realms all retired for their spring recess, while all armies retired and commanders stood down. Mobilized forces would remain where they were, but no-one would dare to offend the Council's Iron Peace or the Emperor and make a move, so everyone went about their leisure business, ready to pick up whatever conflict their leaders had thrown them into in a few weeks time.
((Henceforth, Nobility is in a "Spring Break" of sorts where the system will no longer accept order submissions for a few weeks, enforced by the Council's Iron Peace. We as Noble Managers recommend that the characters take this time to work on character development, relationship building, and roleplay as a result of the many events that have occurred over the past few weeks. We would like to remind everyone that the noble system exists to provide content for IG roleplay, not as a perpetual game to engage in discord politics and send in gamey orders while avoiding roleplay on the server as much as possible, which has been fairly dead among the nobles for the last few weeks. Orders will resume with an announcement in Noble Announcements when the time comes. Expect at least 4 weeks break from Orders. ))
