Context.
In 824, the nation of Calassy underwent its third revolution in recorded history. The revolution targeted Numesian (A nationalist term for the people of Ondmar, with whom the ancient Calassines feuded) influence, left over from an occupation almost 7 centuries old, as a blight on their society. Almost 2 centuries later, the Vedikates Hasale claimed the historical title of Galat (her regnal number becoming II), reforming the ancient Calassine system of Katerasy. It took the whole of Hasale’s reign to gain control over his new holdings, whereas his successor, Simyar IV spent his reign modernizing military tactics and technology.
Simyar IV reformed relations with Goentia and the Crown states, and under his rule, the Harbor Ascendancy was reestablished in Ondmar, and Calassine attention returned to Numesia. Before his death, the settlement of Zalahem was settled on land leased from Suthmar for its natural harbor, in order to project control over the pirate-infested Sea of Nus. In 958, Simyar’s adopted son, Damor, sought to purchase more land in Sanghatsemar. This request was denied, and throughout his reign Damor kept pressure. War did not come until Simyar V’s succession.
In 1038, Simyar V’s foreign administrator allowed himself to be captured by Ondmarese-aligned privateers to create pretext for invasion. Appeasement efforts were sabotaged, and later that year, Calassy invaded Suthmar. Throughout Simyar’s reign, Calassy intermittently exerted pressure over parts of Sanghatsemar, though the largest conflicts came during the beginning, and towards the end.
Calassine forces spent the following decades capturing frigid swamplands, seeing the last premodern use of rocket artillery and in 1041, the first military use of the hand-cranked rotary gun. Despite a technological edge, western Sanghatsemar remained out of Calassine control for the following war, lasting more than two decades until peace was made in 1060. During its three separate sieges, over 25,000 rockets were launched in the bombardment of Zalahem, and over 50,000 fell on Ondmar-controlled cities.
Outcome.
When peace was established in 1060, Calassy controlled from Suthmar to the harbor district of Ondmar. Conflict reignited in 1096, seeing the capture of most of Ondmar and a few southern Sanghatsemar territories. The conflict was short-lived, however, because of the recent Segouzan Secession. The Vensalantin, having grown tired of acting as a barrier against the conflicts in Cazia and the Crown without federal support, went into open revolt, reforming into ‘White Calassy’, and later Segouza.
