Line 84:
The Principality of Pavia was approached by [[Estalia|Estalian]] officials on the 14th of July regarding a defensive pact and economic treaty with themselves, Pavia, [[Jorvik]] and [[SPQR]]. The Privy Council was consulted that evening, with the Dukes advising then Crown Prince, BritishWanderer II to draft a document to be discussed between all parties. The draft was accepted by the Privy Council via unanimous vote, and was then proposed to the other prospective nations of Estalia, Jorvik and SPQR where it was promptly accepted and signed on the 15th of July, formally creating the Elysian Pact. The naming convention for the Pact was short, and a name suggested by Estalia as 'Elysian Pact' was ultimately chosen via general consensus. On the 18th of August, hitobashuru of Pavia would create a flag for the Pact, which was adopted unofficially and displayed on the Elysian Pact wiki page.

===== Provocations by Rhode Island & The Construction of Terminus =====
In the early hours of the 1st of August, reports would come in that Estalia's 0,0 infrastructure, shops and statue were obby-bombed by Rhode Island militants<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wdckwm/rhode_island_obby_bomb_break_00_signs/</ref>, this marked a turning point in the war where controversial actions in war became more commonplace. The Principality of Pavia immediately sought to condemn these actions and urged that all countries should join in calling for a worldwide commitment to rule out any destruction of civilian infrastructure whilst continuing to call for a strong and durable peace between both countries in a post by Duke of Bedford, BritishWanderer. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wderv6/the_principality_of_pavia_condemns_rhode_islands/</ref>
On the 12th of August, a Rhode Island fighter, Adderral, briefly crossed into Pavian land alongside RonPaul and engaged in breaking Pavian snitches which were surrounded in iron-reinforced obsidian. After the breaking of the snitch, they promptly tore up the surrounding lands and placed obsidian around the area. <ref>https://tribune.pavia.institute/2022/august/12/pavia-under-attack-rhode-island-breaks-vault-snitches/</ref>The Pavian Government immediately responded by notifying it's allies and engaging in diplomatic talks with Thomas, now leader of Rhode Island, for answers on this unprovoked attack. The Pavian Government were unhappy with the response by the Rhode Island government, who felt that Thomas had attempted to justify these actions as falling under the scope of the greater conflict that Rhode Island was involved in with Estalia.<ref>https://tribune.pavia.institute/2022/august/12/pavia-under-attack-rhode-island-breaks-vault-snitches/</ref>
Line 127 ⟶ 130:
In the early hours of the 20th of August, reports came through to Elysian Pact high command that SPQR infrastructure was under assault by a contingent of Rhode Island forces, made up of Adderral, HOODRATSLAYA, RonPaul & Dollaz. Estalia took the initiative to assemble a sizable force of fighters from Pavia, Jorvik & Estalia to counter-attack RI in SPQR, led by S4NTA & Gregy165 and supported by BritishWanderer, Gobblin, Quinndolin, Stardarkness, thejkh, tomyy789. Upon the Estalian response force's arrival into SPQR, the Rhode Island fighters promptly fled west thought by the Estalian force to be fleeing back towards their home country. However, the Rhode Island forces would loop south by 2000 metres and land on the shores of Pavia which was left virtually undefended with most of the present Elysian Pact pvpers in southern SPQR, Walkers from Estalia engaged in a 4v1 clash in the fields of Pavia whilst the Elysian Pact force made it's way back down south, attempting to cut off any potential escape by the Rhode Islanders. The Rhode Island combatants, having successfully baited the Elysian Pact forces north and now back south, took flight back west towards Rhode Island before any causalities were realised.
===== Emergence of the Pavian Coalition and Continuation of the War =====
Following on from the initial Call to Arms by the Principality of Pavia<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wr2bzv/a_call_to_arms_from_the_principality_of_pavia_and/</ref>, on the 21st of August, the Duke of Bedford renewed his call to arms in a new Reddit post, stating that, despite continued attacks by Rhode Island, "Pavia, the Principality, and our Coalition of allies remain standing strong, successfully holding the Lyrean front against all odds." BritishWanderer dubbed the group consisting of Pavia, its allied countries as well as individuals who help it as the Coalition or the Pavian Coalition.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wu7dt1/the_pavian_coalition_calls_for_your_aid/</ref>
Pavia saw an influx of donations from across the world stage, from nations to individuals and organisations such as the Red Cross lending a material hand.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wv4qze/the_red_cross_has_successfully_completed_another/</ref>
The 28th of August would see another incursion by Rhode Island, TheKingCacti pushed into Pavia himself and ultimately overextended resulting in his pearling by Estalian fighter, S4NTA. <ref>https://i.imgur.com/SV5Cgb2.png</ref>It was another week until the next incursion by Rhode Island into Pavia took place. In the early hours of the10th of September, Adderal rushed into the bedrock area of the Terminus Vault and attempted to break entry pressure plates and doors on the west side of the vault before quickly retreating upon response by Pavian and Estalian fighters.
===== The Last Stand =====
The incursion by Adderal would be followed up on the 11th of September, with a large contingent of Rhode Island fighters returning to Pavia. The Rhode Islanders created an attack tunnel which ran from RI claims to the Pavian Vault, using this tunnel to remain undetected by snitches and coalition fighters, they quickly broke city bastions around the western claim and destroyed multiple vault bastions at bedrock. Upon the realisation of the attack, Estalia quickly mobilised 10 of their fighters to counter the offensive, and engaged in combat. The tight spaces and broken bastions, allowing Rhode Islanders to place reinforced blocks of their own, resulted in the loss of JKH, an Estalian fighter. Rhode Island withdrew as a group with the pearl back to their home country.
Pavia had not yet had to time to examine the damage that Rhode Island had laid to the vault, with the Pavian Government only receiving reports from Estalia noting the loss of a pvper and multiple crucial bastions, Estalia advised Pavia to retreat and abandon the vault as soon as possible believing the defense of the Terminus Vault to be untenable. Multiple Pavians would begin ferrying resources from the vault towards Estalia, with masses of materials being dropchested outside of the country.
The defenders received not a moments rest before the Rhode Island force would be spotted arriving at the vault again, some Pavians engaged in burning masses of double-chests of potions in expectation of the vault being broken within the next few hours. The government would instruct all citizens to stuff their inventories of material and evacuate to Estalia immediately. The arrival of an intoxicated Crown Prince, BritishWanderer III, marked a turn in the morale situation of the defenders, instructing the citizenry that he would remain at the Terminus Vault and not retreat no matter the state of the battle. Quickly joined by Cissonius, Tvman999 and Hitobashuru, they would bow at the attackers through the doors of the vault, buying time for other defenders to rally to their side. The few Pavians inside the walls would chant "“There's only four of us. We'll die alone, we'll die together, but we'll die as Pavians, and that's what matters!” repeatedly at the aggressors. The Crown Prince issued another call to arms to all citizenry and allies to defend the vault to the last man, the vault eventually became filled with coalition fighters, although the defenders were without any potions due to the mass-burning that had occurred an hour earlier. With the arrival of reinforcements from Estalia and a large cohort of Pavians, the five aggressors, significantly outnumbered, retreated using their attack tunnel. <ref>https://tribune.pavia.institute/2022/september/11/pavia-defends-against-two-failed-rhode-island-attacks/</ref>
As a result of this near-death clash, the Crown Prince issued the No Surrender Decree, remarking 'Pavia is in our lifeblood, the very essence of this nation from the ground up courses through our veins, and without Pavia we shall be nothing but wandering drifters without a purpose. Pavia cannot fall without a fight, a fight which I shall see lasts until every one of us has shed blood in the name of our fine Principality. We shall stand strong, linked arm in arm, beekeepers standing with Lords, Dukes standing with miners, and everyone standing alongside the Crown Prince.'<ref>https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kZkzoZiWqQ8OkNAfF5pHQUFT-y8s1lmJ/view?usp=sharing</ref>
This assault quickly became meme-ified in Pavian culture, revolving around the confusion and quick turn-around of events, especially regarding the drunken nature of the defenders that engulfed the voice-chat during the events. <ref>https://i.imgur.com/RgYMIJ3.png</ref><ref>https://i.imgur.com/YNizZc7.png</ref><ref>https://i.imgur.com/ZMpHzyf.png</ref>
A copycat attack would take place on the 13th of September by Rhode Island, with Adderral, Ez2clutch, CostcoFruits and Hangoverd storming the bedrock of the Terminus Vault, however the attackers would quickly be repelled by a large cohort of coalition fighters, with the skirmish leaving minimal damage to Pavia.
===== Conclusion of the Pavia - Rhode Island War =====
The 17th of September began with an attack on Pavian soil led by Dollaz and joined by CostcoFruits and MrFlipkin, they bored a tunnel south of the Town Hall and laid an obsidian trap below the surface. They were quickly set on by Pavian & Estalian fighters, led by Walkers & Gobblin who routed the Rhode Islanders back to their country.
Late Afternoon of the 17th, it was announced that multiple individuals had been banned by the administration of CivMC, and many of those banned were members of Rhode Island. Coalition forces immediately capitalised on this news and began an attack on the Rhode Island vault, with barely any defenders and light skirmishes, the coalition forces breezed through bastions and quickly reached the centre of the Rhode Island vault within a matter of hours.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/xgskza/clean_sweep/</ref>
Once into the centre of the vault, the coalition forces freed all the held pearls and began to destroy the military infrastructure to prevent it falling into outsider hands. Peace, and cries of the war being over were quickly announced by coalition nations, including that of the Principality of Pavia. Crown Prince BritishWanderer III announced 'The War Is Over', remarking 'With a coalition of unlikely allies from across the server, united by a desire to simply play and prosper on this server and this genre as it always has been, we have held out, and we have won.
Pavia promised that we would never forget the support of our allies, and we hold true to that. We owe every last one of you an enormous debt, one which we shall spend the rest of this server's lifespan repaying. Whatever shape the postwar world takes, Pavia pledges to safeguard peace, building, diplomacy, politics, trade, and to challenge this shittery wherever it arises.'<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/xh2mt0/the_war_is_over/</ref>
