	Desiring to expand Sableterre's influence and prestige, bcfoss broached the subject of invading [[Kurokaigen]] during a diplomatic conference in [[Shanbao]], which all of the attendees (excluding Wikaros) eventually sanctioned. [[Kurokaigen]] was given a grace period of three ingame days (or else an ingame week) to prepare for the invasion.

	It is uncertain whether Sableterre honored the grace period to completion or invaded a day early, but either way Kurokaigen was duly informed of the declaration of war. Arenian forces led (and consisting solely of) bcfoss did not, however, immediately set sail for Kurokaigen, instead choosing to remain in Sableterre proper for a period of 1-2 ingame days.

As luck would have it, just as bcfoss was beginning to prepare for the voyage in earnest, the presence of a very real Kurokaigenian force was detected (via minimap) due west of [[Épinette-sur-quès\|old Epinettia]].

			===Ambush===
			Purportedly, bcfoss had at some point before the war revealed the existence of an underground railway connecting the mines of old Epinettia and the jungle south of Kurokaigen to Wikaros. Correctly predicting that Wikaros had chosen to travel along the tunnel instead of sailing, bcfoss set up an ambush at the head of the mine (La Fosse). The trap was sprung as Wikaros emerged from the mine, to lethal effect. Having lost it's best equipment in the ambush, Kurokaigen promptly sued for peace.

			Probably disliking the anticlimax of it all, bcfoss refused, saying something to the effect of 'You can surrender when I beat you in your homeland!'

	It was around midday when bcfoss made his landing. There were no official docks, but bcfoss nonetheless landed at the stretch of beach approximating docks, within easy bowshot of the settlement.

	~~Despite having several days to prepare~~, Kurokaigenian equipment was terrible, consisting of an iron chestplate and possibly a leather cap and pants. Sableterre meanwhile was decked out in mixed iron-diamond armor and a diamond sword, itself somewhat behind other contemporaries.

The Subjugation of Kurokaigen was a colonial war instigated by [[Sableterre]] (styling itself Arenia at the time). The conflict itself was very brief and relatively bloodless, but the colony ultimately proved to be a net loss for Sableterre.

==Background==
Following a period of fragmentation after [[The Calamity]], the world began trending towards centralization again. Centered around [[Gouffre pastèque]], [[L'Empire de la Citroye]] soon outshone all other nations as it gradually unified all of the north (and almost half of the world's population) under it's dominion.

Desiring to expand Sableterre's influence and prestige, bcfoss broached the subject of invading [[Kurokaigen]] during a diplomatic conference in [[Shanbao]], which all of the attendees (excluding Wikaros) eventually sanctioned. [[Kurokaigen]] was given a grace period of three ingame days (or else an ingame week) to prepare for the invasion.

Arenian forces led (and consisting solely of) bcfoss did not, however, immediately set sail for Kurokaigen, instead choosing to remain in Sableterre proper for a period of 1-2 ingame days.

bcfoss believed that Kurokaigenian forces might launch a preemptive invasion of Sableterre itself, and thus delayed his departure in order to confront this potential attack. It was only after he had convinced himself that no attack was coming that bcfoss departed the island for Kurokaigen.
