 ====== The Modern Age of Cahyali ====== ====== The Modern Age of Cahyali ======
 +The Modern Age is marked by two major things: the rise of adventuring as a notable profession on Cahyali, and the reigns of terror of the nations [[settings:cahyali:leyork|Ley'Ork]] and [[settings:cahyali:pthora|Pthora.]] This would culminate in a war that embroiled the entirety of Esrior, save for the Sublime Veld.

 +==== Battle of the Blooming Wood ====
 Following the failed attack on Victoria, [[settings:cahyali:leyork|Ley'Ork]] declared war on [[settings:cahyali:shinneok|Shinneok,]] citing multiple accounts of terrorism on New Spire City and the President's death. The HTUC has declared martial law for the time being. [[settings:cahyali:pthora|Pthora]] and [[settings:cahyali:nahrul|Nahrul]] also declared their intention to ally with Ley'Ork, naming the new alliance the **Blazing Coalition.** Following the failed attack on Victoria, [[settings:cahyali:leyork|Ley'Ork]] declared war on [[settings:cahyali:shinneok|Shinneok,]] citing multiple accounts of terrorism on New Spire City and the President's death.

 +==== Fall of Arenti ====
 +In early Halden 2558, [[settings:cahyali:ulos|Ulosian]] Republican scouts reported back to the capital recently with harrowing news: it appears that the [[settings:cahyali:leyork|Ley'Orkian]] navy stationed on its western coast is preparing its fleet for invasion into the Medius Ocean. In preparation to defend itself, Ulos has begun the process of temporarily withdrawing the majority of its forces from fighting near the Oxian Gulf, promising to re-send reinforcements once the threat to the Abundant Expanse has been dealt with.
 +
 +However, in the gray foggy morning of 2/24/2558, a detachment of Blazing Coalition forces invaded the southern bays of [[settings:cahyali:arenti|Arenti.]] Unprepared, the Arentian forces were pushed across the River Martinaise, back to their capital of Reggiarte over a three-day period of fierce fighting. Despite calling for reinforcements, the sudden nature of the attack rendered [[settings:cahyali:vervand|Vervand]] and [[settings:cahyali:shinneok|Shinneok]] unable to respond in time, with the first vanguard of royalist forces arriving only when Ley'Orkian mechs were already in siege upon the Reggiarte outskirts. Many priceless locales were razed, and an as-of-yet uncounted number of exquisite artistic works were destroyed in the invasion.
 +
 +The invasion of Ulos was a feint, with the preparing Ley'Orkian ships sailing not for Moku'pele, but north to Arenti. Ulos, with its navies drawn close to its heartland, was also rendered unable to lend aid in time. The white flag was flown over the House of Justice on 2/27, signaling an official Arentian surrender. Reggiarte is now under full control of the Coalition, with a fairly even occupying force between Ley'Ork and [[settings:cahyali:pthora|Pthora.]] The other cities in Arenti have been given an ultimatum: surrender willingly to Coalition occupation, or face the same fate as Reggiarte.
 +
 +It has been reported that the Unicorn Knights, Arenti's most elite fighting force, was found on the main thoroughfares leading through the city - the unicorns' horns pierced through mech windows and into the hearts of their drivers. The Knights' captain's body is rumored to have been found resting on the body of his steed on the steps of the House of Justice, surrounded by ten enemy men. Not a single Knight was found alive.
 +
 +Despite this surrender, Arenti's leader, Iudex (High Judge) Chrysanthe Félicien Roux was not captured by Coalition forces. She is believed to have escaped the city, with the Unicorn Knights' sacrifice having bought her enough time for an unknown group to spirit her away from Reggiarte. A bounty has been posted, promising a handsome sum of Ley'Orkian gold notes for her delivery into Coalition hands - alive.

-As of 1/10/10082, Ley’Ork has responded and sent troops, as well as supplies, to bolster the Shinnean forces. Arenti and Vervand have made no such moves, seemingly leaving Shinneok to fight this war itself. Some say this is a bad sign for the formerly tightly-allied Oxis…+As of 1/10/2558, Ley’Ork has responded and sent troops, as well as supplies, to bolster the Shinnean forces.

 All communication was lost with the search parties until 7/28/2557, when the parties returned, confirming that Mordrik had been stuck between planes during its absence.

The parties reported various phenomena and events, involving a strange eldritch entity that they had to expel from the boundary between planes. All communication was lost with the search parties until 7/28/2557, when the parties returned, confirming that Mordrik had been stuck between planes during its absence.

-By 8/10/2557, dimensional magic had begun to stabilize, and the anomalies seen with elemental and spiritual magic subsided. The topic of whether Mordrik should be fully reincorporated into Vervand was debated, but by New Year's Day of 10082 they decided to make the island an "Autonomous Administrative Division" of Vervand. It continues to govern itself while both Vervand and Ulos assist its reintegration into Cahyali.+By 8/10/2557, dimensional magic had begun to stabilize, and the anomalies seen with elemental and spiritual magic subsided.

   * **Tetsutou Iron Mine Battle:** 8/22/2557. Won by the Ruefang Continental Army - barely. As the Raikoujin army began to see defeat on the horizon, it was found that they had rigged the mine with explosives prior to the fighting. Just when the RCA thought they had run, the mines exploded, collapsing and burying an as-of-yet unknown number of people inside. The mines have been rendered impassable and inoperable.   * **Tetsutou Iron Mine Battle:** 8/22/2557. Won by the Ruefang Continental Army - barely.

During a battle, a certain magical event led to an eruption in the Raikougan leylines, destabilizing the weather patterns and leading to a second Cloudfall event.

 After the end of the Second Cloudfall, it was revealed that Nan Fengge had been working with a group of conspirators to foster war in the Abundance. Him and his associates have been court-martialed and will stand trial by their respective governments, and the RCA has been disbanded and replaced by a **Commission of Justice**. Additionally, a **Commission of Development** in charge of reclaiming Ruefang's wilds lost to the leyline crisis and continuing infrastructure is being established.  After the end of the Second Cloudfall, it was revealed that Nan Fengge had been working with a group of conspirators to foster war in the Abundance.
