== Background ==
== Background ==
The war began following the unbanning of the known raider and former Estalian and [[Generic War]] combatant [[Ez2Clutch]] - he soon thereafter began raiding in partnership with [[Chosentwicelol]], a raider infamous for menacing the government of [[Icenia (CivMC)|Icenia]] and rumored to have had the backing of [[Estalia]], one which the nation vehemently denied. At the time of the kickoff of this conflict, however, this backing was assuredly no longer in effect. Instead, a new benefactor emerged for the two raiders: [[Butternut County]]. Butternut's [[Bewsiej]] had previously been considered a hero to Icenia following his vital role in clearing the [[obbybombing]] of [[Icenia (CivMC)|Icenia]], but the relationship between the two soured as promises to erect a statue of Bewsiej in Icenia were not honored due to the Icenian Senate's reluctance after an incident at Space Needle IV--Icenia city's skybunker.

The conflict sparked when [[Security Enhancement Coalition|SEC]] fighters [[Zolo17]] and Jaimie were pearled during their manhunt for Ez2Clutch and kited to the Butternut vault - signaling to the world that the raiders now had the full support of Butternut County and that this was no longer a simple raiding incident. Skirmishes began to break out within [[Icenia (CivMC)|Icenia]] as SEC fighters and the Butternut raiders vied for pearls. With the city in danger, the Icenians engaged their automated defenses - a horde of withers was released inside the city, a means to keep the raiders at bay. By June 6th, Butternut secured 2 more pearls - that of [[Raeders]], [[JuniorTide]], and [[Yodabird19]]. On June 7th, a further 3 pearls were claimed by Butternut: [[Sapienfrfx]], [[Mushroom Cultist]], and [[Spoonce]]. The tally was grim for the SEC: 8 pearls in Butternut captivity, with nothing to show for it. But on June 8th came a major SEC victory: Ez2Clutch was pearled by the Icenian [[Lagiacrus]], after falling into a sand trap and failing to escape.
