The Scæþing Punitive War was a conflict between the Scæþing Empire and the Magical Kingdom, which began when Kjolt947 declared war on Wikaros after multiple instances of his base being vandalized. The conflict then escalated and the rest of the Scæþing faction joined Kjolt, whilst Wikaros sought military aid in the form of the mercenary bcfoss.
Beginning of the War
The declaration of war by Kjolt947 was done while the co-belligerents were still in a ship being driven by Cflip_, it was decided that as soon as Cflip_ deposited his passengers, being Wikaros and his hired sword bcfoss; that they would be declared war on by the entire Scæþing faction.
Scæþing Opening Moves
The Scæþing Empire at the time was not particularly prepared for a war on this scale, and security on the island and the great Scæþing Fortress were severely lacking. As Scæþing was expecting to be playing defensive at the onset of the war, jusipat ordered that the two stay to defend the Scæþing Fortress while he constructed a ramshackle forward-operating-base on the southern shore of the yet-named Midway Island. jusipat's position was sound, and he successfully intercepted bcfoss on his way to Scæþing Island. This event handed the initiative towards the Scæþing side as it became apparent that Wikaros, commanding the allied Magic Empire forces, had no stomach for offensive operations. This would be further highlighted as jusipat began reconnaissance/harrassing attacks on the Magical Empire's island which pinned the allied forces.
Cflip_ and Kjolt947 spent time guarding the fortress on the main Scæþing island, however bcfoss was able to sneak in and take precious valuables from the inside of the castle without being noticed. The Scæþing forces were oblivious to this fact, and after Kjolt947 successfully killed both Wikaros and bcfoss it was believed by the Scæþing Empire that they were in the lead.
Cflip_ built the first plane, which jusipat flew over the enemy's island in a failed bombing run.
Peace Terms
The outcome of this war is debated, both sides claim to have been victorious while also taking heavy losses. The Scæþing faction were on their way for a final assault on the enemy's island when they were approached with a peace settlemet. The peace negotiations were done inside the impromptu fortress on the Magical Empire's island, there was therefore planning done on the Scæþing side to destroy the opposing nations beds should negotiations fall apart, the beds so happened to be right in front of them. It was at this time that Scæþing discovered bcfoss had stolen numerous posessions from the faction, and they negotiated without realizing the Magical Empire held many valuables. While Scæþing did manage to get some posessions back including the emeralds that were needed to pay bcfoss, they ulitmately came out of the war with a net loss in materiel.
Following the successful negotiations, Kjolt947 planted an air raid siren in the ground at the Magical Empire's island to the dismay of everyone involved. Cflip_ and jusipat returned home, leaving Kjolt947 to find the now lost siren and to remove it. Wikaros and bcfoss threatened war against Kjolt947 should he fail to remove the incredibly annoying siren, and the rest of the Scæþing faction stated that they would not help in the case of another war. Following this incident, Scæþing systematically destroyed Kjolt947's siren collection in solidarity with the Magical Empire.
Effects of the War
During the war, the first settlement on Midway was established as a temporary forward operating base by jusipat. Further expansion of this settlement following the war as each party following this war recognised its strategic utility as a "midway point" between the two empires. This eventually led to the two empires' continual escalation of claiming the island which would cause the devastating Massacre on Midway that wiped out both nations.
