Aurea: Difference between revisions

 

After a period of calm, an expedition from Arcadia appeared on Ol’ West with few numbers. Given Peter’s previous titles in the Aurean Empire under Kevlar and talks with the Aurean Empire, they were relatively left alone short of a few skirmishes. Although around the same time a Maverian ‘expedition’ showed up as well. Maverians claimed to be a trading post but also refused to pay business taxes to the Aurean Empire and refused many attempts at diplomacy. As a result, Aurea engaged its normal response of a harassment campaign against Maverians as they appeared en mass on the server. The leader of the Maverian forces, a Brandon Asger who had previously served only to annoy Aurean nobles on discord servers did not help the situation any. After a week or so Maveria dropped it’s the facade of a ‘trading post’ and adopted the name of “1st Maverian Kompanie”. They began attempting to poach Aurean members, and demanded that all Maverians in Aurea on Ol’ West need to leave or be kicked from their guild on Classic. The order was largely ineffective. A third party showed up on Ol’ West although not in opposition of Aurea, but in support. Imperians who were tired of Brandon from Classic came to West to support the Aurean Empire.

With their intentions now clear, Maveria began trying to challenge Aurea to fights when few were online to fight them. Unfortunately for Maveria the few that were online were all seasoned veterans of previous Aurean Empires. Even when Maverian forces greatly outnumbered Aurean forces, Aurean forces would always prevail victoriously. There were only two notable battles, which were of Bayern (now Meridies) and Rhine. Both initially declared on Aurea while few members were on to fight it. Although Aureans quickly hopped online to have a chance to put down a Maverian here and there. The battle of Bayern was especially notable as, despite a seizable numerical advantage by Maverian forces and local basers who liked to Pk Aureans, the Aurean forces used the forestry around them as cover and hid in the trees. The battle was another decisive Aurean victory with the collapse of the Maverian expedition force back into the Fritzfurt Trading Company and not long after that, obscurity.
