Line 51:
In the midst of war, a splinter faction led by Crowned Prince Frensin led massive demonstrations in opposition to the Republic. Their primary issue was that the government had proven too weak to launch a blow strong enough to end the Nox threat, and their cause gained widespread support with the winter defeat in the Second Attack on Nox. Peace was restored on January 25th, 2018 with the union of the Republic of Hjaltland with Frensin's Revolutionary Sect for the Restoration of the Federal State of Falstadt, officially forming the U.F.R Falstadt. It was this combined government that masterminded the final assault on Nox.
 
On September 4th, 2018, a rogue military sect of the U.F.R. Falstadt was brought back into the fold. Its radical military policy preferences, specifically those advocated by Thoths (its leader), were considered worthy of acceptance into the governing coalition. Thus,The the United Federal Republic of the Union State of the Republic of Hjaltland and the Revolutionary Sect for the Restoration of the Federal State of Falstadt of the Union State of the Republic of Hjaltland and the Revolutionary Sect for the Restoration of the Federal State of Falstadt and the Rogue State of Hjaltland (officially abbreviated to U.F.R.U.S.R.H.A.R.S.R.F.S.F.U.S.R.H.A.R.S.R.F.S.F.A.R.S. Hjaltland) was formed.

On October 9th, 2017, [https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/755nes/lexington_declares_war_on_hjaltland_commonwealth/ Lexington declared war on Hjaltland and Commonwealth], the other top powers on the server and the primary force behind the Western Alliance. Citing the bunker that CW tore down (due to multiple instances of Lexington-affiliated raiders' using it as a safe spot) as well as TangentialThreat's cyberattack on her bots, they began the war by dumping a significant amount of reinforced obsidian onto Westminster. This "tactical griefing" has been called the single greatest instance of reinforced griefing in Civ-server history, perhaps beside Sintralin's DRO bomb of Aurora in Civcraft 2.0. Although the action was reversed due to Lexington leadership's dishonesty with the server administration, the attack set the tone for the war to come, one of few limitations inside and outside the game alike. Hjaltland launched an immediate assault that disabled Lexington's end portal fortification, a crucial installation.
 
BlueSylvaer, in his response, identified the Lexington threat and their vassals in Anguish as the natural resurgence of <u>Nox</u>, and indicated his intent to wage an unrelenting war against this stateless raider threat. Hjaltland's people do not consider the event a war because the war was just so damn easy, nor has their government recognized the vaultsvault-based-forces formerly known as Lexington and Anguish.
 
===== First Battle of Anguish =====
By chance, Mir and Anguish had settled in adjacent territory, and their relations had been cordial, but distrustful. With Anguish's declaration of war, Mir saw the attack as a chance to snuff out a dangerous force before it became a major threat. Hjaltland communicated extensively with Mir, as both nations were host to a great number of experienced players, and an attack was coordinated without hesitation.
 
In the early hours of October 11th, 2018, players from Hjaltland and Mir, alongside some allies from the Commonwealth, breached Anguish's 8-ring world border vault located at 112880,-1750. Due to the lack of a snitch grid that stretched all the way to skylimit, a simple bridge-based attack managed to penetrate to the heart of the facility, and were only discovered when Alliance forces descended onto the central bunker. After disabling the vault, multiple border skirmishes ended with the pearling of two Anguish fighters.
 
With their stronghold in shambles and Mirian forces running rampant through their cities, Anguish transported most of its resources to Nox at North World Border. While the decrepit vault would become functional months later due to negligence by the Western Alliance, this attack effectively eliminated the only location outside of Lexington's territory from which Nox could safely operate.
 
===== Defense of Westminster =====

===== Assault on Lexington City =====
On October 17th, 2018, an Alliance force built an attack tunnel at bedrock into the heart of Lexington, precipitating the firstlargest pitched battle of the war to date. While most of the bunkers there were disabled and their bastions broken, only one Nox fighter was pearled. Meanwhile, two Alliance fighters were pearled after both were shot by roboninja77 with a Punch II bow into a trap. God-King Gregy never forgot this affront. After multiple days of repeated assaults, Lexington city was all but abandoned by its inhabitants, and the final push disabled all bunkers and bastions underneath the city.
