	The Lûline Emperor likewise factored Tianchao's numbers into his planning. With Lûline forces spread more thinly over a smaller empire than Tianchao, the Emperor perfected development on the ''Araneum'' or Spiderweb, a one-way network of teleportation gates that linked key defensive positions in the capital with border citadels in Scathia. Believing that the coming war would be at least partly defensive, he was fully prepared to contest invasions on both islands simultaneously, though with a large degree of risk.

With war on the horizon, the Tianchaoese suggested that both sides keep the war limited to Scæþing until one side was forced to retreat; the Lûlines accepted.

	Scæþing descendants who settled west of Old Scathia (Kjolt947 and Cflip_) aligned themselves with Tianchao, a newly established nation founded by the '''Heavenly General''' of Magical Island. Those descendants who settled east of Scathia (jusipat) sided with Lûl, an ancient and historically secondary power that had managed to survive the chaos of the war.		Scæþing descendants who settled west of Old Scathia (Kjolt947 and Cflip_) aligned themselves with Tianchao, a newly established nation founded by the '''Heavenly General''' of Magical Island. Those descendants who settled east of Scathia (jusipat) sided with Lûl, an ancient and historically secondary power that had managed to survive the chaos of the war.

			=== Development on Old Scathia ===
	Both sides viewed Old Scathia as a symbol of imperial authority, but neither was particularly interested in developing it beyond the token effort required to legitimize their respective claims and deter encroachment. During this time both Empires initiated, and furthermore completed, several expansive building projects in their capitals, even establishing trade deals with the other in order to facilitate said projects. And yet, it was only in the ~2 years (~week irl) directly leading up to the war that the two Empires put any real effort into fortifying Scathia.

And yet, it was only in the ~2 years (~week irl) directly leading up to the war that the two Empires put any real effort into fortifying Scathia.

	For as long as a week before the war happened, it was clear to both Tianchao and Lûl that a war for Scæþing was on the horizon. The western half of Scæþing which contained all the old buildings and ruins was abandoned, and all valuable items were relocated as Tianchao's population focused on improving the capital. Lûl claimed the eastern tip of Scæþing island and built extensive fortifications there, but for about a week after that there were few developments on the island.

	In an effort to legitimise Lûlian claims on Scæþing, Asurine official jusipat installed DaLogangster as de-facto governor of the province in secrecy. Confident that Scæþing was completely abandoned by Tianchao and that they were too far away to exert territorial authority on the fringe province, jusipat hoped it would lead to a peaceful transition of Scæþing into Lûlian imperal control. DaLogangster would take control of the old Scæþing government building, the Tuff House. It was promptly restyled as the "Fuff House".

	In the years leading up to the conflict, Tianchao believed that the imminent war was to be a conventional war. Banking on their superior numbers and economy, the Tianchaoese Emperor ordered the production of horses, armor, and weapons en masse. Forces were consolidated from across the empire and outfitted with ~~the~~ a wealth of quality equipment, resulting in a large and well-supplied army that, due to Tianchao's successful horse breeding, would have had a decisive edge against any other conventional force, past or present.

	Having distributed magical artifacts to jusipat before the war, bcfoss advised restraint in their use, but when conflict finally erupted jusipat was driven mad with their power and spread havoc among the enemy ranks with reckless abandon. In doing so jusipat secured a decisive victory for Lûl but at the same time revealed the full extent of Lûl's magical capabilities, which the Emperor would have rather kept hidden.

	Inversely, bcfoss considered the war a conflict for total dominion over the terrestrial world, one which ought to be carried out to the fullest extent, no matter the risk to the future of the Lûline Empire. In this arena it was jusipat who was the voice of restraint, citing concepts such as ''over-extension'', ''[[Dirt Warfare]]'', and ''widespread rebellion'' at the suggestion of Tianchaos complete annexation.

	Ultimately Tianchao was forced to surrender and make peace.

Tianchao got away with keeping Lengshan, however Scæþing and Lü Hangye were ceded to Lûl.
	The first seeds of secessionist tendencies in [[Asurine Coast\|Asurinica]] took root due to disagreements between bcfoss and jusipat over the subject of ''War Loot''; jusipat was disappointed over the lack of it, and bcfoss was supremely annoyed because it was jusipat himself who had urged against invading Lengshan, where the bulk of Tianchaoese wealth was stored.

	After Wikaros declared war, the forces of Tianchao roamed around the farmland south of Fin Ley on horseback, hoping to lure in an assault from the enemy. Ignoring the bait, bcfoss sat inside his tower on the border and hurled lightning bolts from a border citadel, to middling effect. At the same time, jusipat, who was completely invisible, ravaged the bunker as soon as war was declared. jusipat then proceeded to dance invisibly among the Tianchaoese ranks, periodically pausing to fire from his musket or throw incendiary grenades. Seeing the commotion among the enemy forces, bcfoss took the field. Close distances increased the deadliness of his lightning bolts exponentially; over the course of the battle three seperate riders were smote before the Tianchaoese routed, retreating back towards the Old Scæþing Parliament complex. During this time, DaLogangster remained as sentry in the large Lûlian tower on the centre of the island, firing upon any who would get too close.
