In the meantime, the Grenylians consolidated their forces and swung around the western coast towards Anticerum and the Dragon Mine. The Gigimieans set guards along the coastline; any attempted landings were immediately contested and rebuffed.

			===Coastal Skirmishes===
			Some attempts were made by the Gigimieans to oppose the Grenylians at sea and possibly eradicate the threat entirely, but technical difficulties and an unfortunately timed dolphin-blessing ruined any chances of beating flufyking at sea. Nearly all sea battles invariably ended in severe losses for Gigimiee and none for flufyking. The one exception was when fabix1 feigned defection in order to get close to flufyking in order to assassinate him; the plot failed but flufyking was wounded and had to retreat*. It was at this point that Fabia finally took overt military action against the Grenylians, shifting the numbers to 2:1 in Gigimiees favor. Grenyl attempted no more landings after this point and a ceasefire was agreed upon shortly thereafter.

			With the odds increasingly against them, the Skager-Grenylian forces fortified an island to the west of Gigimiee in hopes of continuing the war, albeit at a lower intensity.

The dragon was killed and the Pit looted.

			==Notes==
			*Fabia and Skager maintained cordial relations even after the assassination attempt, and on at least one occasion fabix1 was allowed to retrieved his belongings after being slain by flufyking, a privilege that was not extended to the other Gigimiean duchies.

The Dragon War was a massive conflict between the powerful states of [Gigimiee] and [Grenyl] over ownership of a dragon sleeping under [Anticer]. The war ended in victory for Gigimiee, with the dragon successfully protected from all attacks at the time of the end of the war, but due to underhanded meta-gaming the dragon was ultimately slain anyways.

==Background==
Early settlement of Anticerum revealed the presence of a sleeping dragon in the recesses of a generated mine located close by. After plummeting haplessly into the dragon pit bcfoss and the other Gigimieans largely ignored it.

==Warfare==

===Battle of Gigimiee===

===Retreat Eastward===
In the wake of the Gigimieans' staggering defeat at the western border, Grenylian forces pushed unopposed into central Gigimiee. Flufyking quickly returned westward, but nobel617 remained in central Gigimiee and was temporarily trapped by kjolt947(?) before escaping and retreating westward.

bcfoss met up with kjolt947 near the Anticerum farming hamlet and distributed newly-forged iron armor. Afterwards the two met up with jprik, who had managed to slay nobel617 in the meantime.

===Coastal Skirmishes===

==Battle of Anticerum==
While patrolling the coast in order to ward off Grenylian raids, kjolt947 was intercepted by nobel617 in a small thicket to the north of Anticerum. Fighting was intense but at the last moment bcfoss reinforced from the east, managing to avenge kjolt947 seconds after his death.
