The Kythiran Invasion of Imperius was a war fought between the forces of the Kythiran Empire and the united forces of the Imperius Monarchists and the Raggisar Republicans. It was fought fully in what at the time was the Imperius Reich, which today is the Raggisar Republic.

Pre-War Events

At the closing days of the Dervich Incident, the Emperor of Kythira had ordered the arrest of the visiting Kaiser of Imperius and his Grand Marshall, who were visiting for peacetalks in the Kythiran city of Helmira. The intend by the Kythirans had been to negotiate directly with the Imperius Senate, using the Kaiser as leverage, but instead republican undercurrents in Imperius, which had begun to form ever since the Lotrican Genocide, exploded, causing a civil war in Imperius between the Monarchists, who wished to have Kaiser Von Dragestein return to Imperius, and the Republicans, who wished to establish a full Republic, inspired by the Aqumis Republic and the ancient Federation of Provinces from the Second Era.

Cause

The Kythirans did not want a republican government in charge. Preferring a monarch and a system more like their own, they immediately began preparations to restore order in Imperius, end the civil war and return the Kaiser as the leader of the Reich, although with considerably less powers than before. The Kythirans hoped that, in return for helping the Kaiser regain his throne, they would be able to annex large swaths of territory of the Reich.

The War

As the raids upon the Riverlands continued, a group of Riverlanders fled east, under the guidance of Lord Whazajottom, one of the First Men.

First Kythira Conference

As the raids upon the Riverlands continued, a group of Riverlanders fled east, under the guidance of Lord Whazajottom, one of the First Men.

It was fought fully in what at the time was the Imperius Reich, which today is the Raggisar Republic.
 == Pre-War Events ==
-The kingdoms of Kythira and Helmsdeep had their capitals located on two mountains; The King's Mountains, on which Kythira stood, and the Helms Mountains, where Helmsdeep was founded. In between these were the Valley Lands. A large valley consisting of mostly plains, and with a dense jungle to the east.
+At the closing days of the Dervich Incident, the Emperor of Kythira had ordered the arrest of the visiting Kaiser of Imperius and his Grand Marshall, who were visiting for peacetalks in the Kythiran city of Helmira. The intend by the Kythirans had been to negotiate directly with the Imperius Senate, using the Kaiser as leverage, but instead republican undercurrents in Imperius, which had begun to form ever since the Lotrican Genocide, exploded, causing a civil war in Imperius between the Monarchists, who wished to have Kaiser Von Dragestein return to Imperius, and the Republicans, who wished to establish a full Republic, inspired by the Aqumis Republic and the ancient Federation of Provinces from the Second Era.
-The Kingdoms were, compared to the nations of today, extremely small. Yet, the Kythirans were able to
 == Cause ==
-After the kingdoms of Kythira and Helmsdeep were founded, tensions soon started to arise. Though Kingdom in name, in truth the nations were more city-states, and thus resources were of relative scarcity.
+The Kythirans did not want a republican government in charge. Preferring a monarch and a system more like their own, they immediately began preparations to restore order in Imperius, end the civil war and return the Kaiser as the leader of the Reich, although with considerably less powers than before. The Kythirans hoped that, in return for helping the Kaiser regain his throne, they would be able to annex large swaths of territory of the Reich.
-The decision of King Mercenary to build his kingdom on the Helms Mountains, opposite of the King's Mountains, upon which Kythira was build, only added to this tension. Between the two kingdoms, a valley stood, open for troops to march swiftly to either side.
-To protect their kingdom, the Kythirans occupied these Valley Lands, establishing several bunkers and trade posts. This annexation was not accepted by Helmsdeep, and they soon send their own forces into the Valley Lands, demanding resources in return for them stopping their occupation. Refusing this, Kythira sought to economically weaken Helmsdeep, blocking their trade routes with the Riverlands through land and the Narrow Sea.
-In an attempt to keep diplomacy open, the Kythirans constructed Minecraftia's first international embassy, not meant for just nations, but all people of Minecraftia. This predecessor of the Minecraftia Forum however failed to maintain peace in the world, and, in search for resources to expand their kingdom, Helmsdeep forces began what would become known as the Raids on the Riverlands. Attempting to stop these raids, as hurting Kythira's trading partner was hurting the Kythiran economy, the Kythiran crown gave Helmsdeep several ultimatums, but none had any effect on stopping the raids.
-Kythira had to resort to their last option, and declared war.
