The Isles <br/>

The War of the Isles was a short-lived conflict (lasting less than a day) between the Kingdom of [[Norlund]] and the indigenous group known as the [[Isles]] over the fate of the former [[SPQR]] colonies in the [[New world]].

At the same time, to characterise the handover as previously uniform prior to the conflict would be misinformation.

With this backdrop of contention over the Roman claims, the [[Isles]]- a relatively new nation, had controlled some of the ex-SPQR territory following their departure, and announced they would occupyenforce their claim and thereafter contest the Norlundic expedition. The small nation, it was widely expected, would fall to the more numerous Norlish. However the first skirmish between the two sides went extremely poorly for the Norlish. An official statement by the Minister of Interior, Cortwade, acknowledged extremely heavy casualties<ref>https://i.imgur.com/Da6IwaF.jpg</ref>. Okx was appointed as Minister of Defence temporarily, after Zamoradin was pearled. The remaining force was put into retreat. This was achieved by a surprising competence on the part of the Islanders alongside bunkers and traps which the defending force fell foul to. There was additional speculation over the state of Lovelessness, a fighter thought to be an alt due to the name changing recently. However, this was not proven.

The Isles surrendered and agreed to release all pearls, return all items including armour, swords and tools, and recognise Norlund's sovereignty over the territory.<ref>https://i.imgur.com/Qb92fVH.png</ref>
