History
Background
In the year 1958, there were two great nations that made up the land that is now known as Alecburgh. These two nations were Oloan in the north, ruled by King Jackson the Third, and South Croix in the south, ruled by Empress Lily the Second.
On the 8th day of Febuary, 'The Day of Reckoning', Jackson ordered that the Oloanese Military to push south towards South Croix. Empress Lily II, pleaded to leave her peaceful nation alone. It had been over 18 months since the last conflict between the two rival nations due to the signing of the Costa de Sol Treaty. The military kept moving south, and officially broke over the South Croix northern border near modern-day Phalayto, Maveriga. Lily reluctantly declared war, and ordered her own troops, who were much smaller due to the new found peaceful nature of the nation.
The Burning and then Batle of Phalayto
After the Burning of Phalayto, which killed Southern Croix author Xerxes Lentigold, who wrote My Sun has Set (and almost burned the first copy), the Southern Croix troops finally arrived and made a 'V' formation towards Phalayto, causing the much larger group of Oloanese troops to prepare for an attack. After over 3 hours of silence in which the air could be cut with a knife, a shot was fired. Historians do not know who fired first; the Southern Croix or the Oloanese, but most agree that it triggered the first battle between the two nations. This portion of the Southern Croix Army, led by General Levi Intitu, pushed towards the troops and fired at any moving target, which included innocent citizens. As they marched in, the Oloanese group, led by Dante Patrie-Lewiston, had the advantage as the Southern Croix came closer.
