EKanàst Conquest

This article uses the B.U. system of dating. 0 B.U. is the current year (13 May, 2025), everything before counts up, and everything after that year is in negatives. For instance, 12 B.U. is 12 years ago.

Initial Southern Unrest

Zwatt Migration - (c. 10 B.U.)

Large bands from the Ksèmksijs and Pìroijitd tribes began migrating northward due to depleting food supplies along the lower Rodinia River. Their movement disrupted trade and caused food shortages in several Zèketfva border villages.

Es Campaign - (c. 10 B.U.)

Rex Tanàka of Tëanàkva launched a surprise assault on northern villages of the Tribe of Es. The plan to attack Es had been in the works for a while, but the migration allowed for a justification. Although Es successfully repelled the attack, the villages sustained heavy damage, most of them being destroyed. Refugees from the conflict fled to neighboring Lhusìja and Ròüroü.

Lhusìja Counteroffensive - (c. 10 B.U.)

In response to the assault on Es, Lhusìja, with support from Es, mobilised approximately 20 warriors from each of its villages. The campaign advanced deep into southern Tëanàkva, resulting in multiple skirmishes along the Sùrrat Ridge. A division managed to reach within kilometres of the secondary Tribe Danàg, but despite the mobilization, little territorial gain was achieved as backup eTëanàkva forces arrived.

Affìna Schism and Denouncement - (c. 9 B.U.)

Affìna had been neutral for this part of the conflict. However, many of the outer villages had Lhusìjan ethnicity. Its population lobbied for condemnation of eTëanàkva actions. However, the economic power of Tanàka led the Suràt of Elders to publicly denounce Lhusìja’s military actions. It withdrew from the offensive, destabilising the cohesion of the Zèketfva. Attempts at peace talks, led by Mailìza and Qètiji, ultimately failed.

eKanàst Campaigns

Secret Pact of Fjüèll - (c. 9 B.U.)

Rex Angua of Kanàst initiated covert diplomacy with the Slirtt tribe of Fjüèll. In exchange for logistical support and passage through their territory, Kanàst promised future political power. Fjüèll accepted the offer, allowing Kanàst forces to move undetected.

Fall of Sdèffaniji - (c. 9 B.U.)

Kanàst soldiers, disguised as Zwatt migrants, infiltrated the Sdèffaniji Danàg and executed a swift, covert takeover. The Suràt leader was deposed and replaced by an eKanàst Elder, placing the Tribe under eKanàst control.

Puppetization of Ròüroü and Àleqs - (c. 9 B.U.)

Kanàst employed diplomatic pressure and offers of food security to coerce Ròüroü and Àleqs into accepting eKanàst "emergency leadership." Though these tribes retained nominal autonomy, they were effectively absorbed into the growing Kanàst sphere of influence.

Strategic Strikes and Political Maneuvering

Gùvra Ambush and the Breaking of Tëanàkva - (c. 8 B.U.)

Tëanàkva patrols returning from a recon mission on Mailìza were ambushed at Gùnatd Crossing by eKanàst forces. Rex Tanàka was mortally wounded in the skirmish, triggering a collapse in Tëanàkva leadership. Outer eTëanàkva villages began seceding towards Lhusìja and Sdèffaniji, the eLhusìja gaining political power in asylum.

Occupation of Zwatt Heartlands - (c. 8 B.U.)

With Zèketfva leadership in disarray, Kanàst forces openly occupied the recently-settled Ksèmksijs and Pìroijitd tribes. The occupation was framed as “integration assistance,” and tribal leaders were reduced to ceremonial figures.

Accord of Zùfo - (c. 7 B.U.)

Amid growing concern over Kanàst's regional dominance, the Slirtt tribes negotiated terms with Rex Angua. The resulting treaty granted the Slirtt equal representation in the emerging federal Suràt, the Gèrssurat, in exchange for their official membership in the Kanàst-led federation.
