Noxuiean Wars

The Wars of the Southwest were a series of armed conflicts that occurred in the southwestern portion of the North Continent in 4050 and 4051. They began with the Noxuie War, which came out of an attempt by Viltrenisium to conquer numerous smaller countries in its vicinity, turning into an international war against Viltrenisium. The main wars in the conflict are generally said to be the Noxuie War, the Continuation War, the South Vitaen Civil War, and, eventually, the Delphinian Civil War (although the latter did not occur in the southwest- it occurred in modern Lerikani-Afidens).

When the Empire of Viltrenisium had first formed, it noted its ambition to conquer smaller countries in its vicinity- however, no countries ever took the ambitions seriously. Eventually, reports by certain countries found that Viltrenisium actually intended to attack various countries in the Western Defense Compact, resulting in the Noxuie War breaking out on January 17, 4050. Viltrenisium initially invaded Gherweb, but was pushed out and eventually surrendered after about 10 days of fighting. Gherweb and Astrye, some of the major parties of the conflict, initially considered puppeting Viltrenisium. However, in the end, Viltrenisium was forced to give up a majority of its territory in the Southwest, and was also forced to move to the Ryanni Peninsula. Many Viltrenisian refugees moved to South Vitae preceding and following the Noxuie War. Since Viltrenisium was predominantly of Jemnic ethnicity, Jemnic nationalists rose up in South Vitae to form their own self-declared Jemnic state, deemed the Democratic Republic of Jemnisia, sparking the South Vitaen Civil War. Large-scale initial gains occurred, with the rebel paramilitary group known as the Jemnisian Liberation Front (JLF) gaining over half of South Vitae in only about a week. However, the heavily fortified and defended Slecdon Line prevented the South Vitae capital, Slecdon, from falling.

After reinforcements from fellow Western Defence Compact countries began arriving, South Vitae began pushing back against the JLF, before a stalemate began. After an incident in which a JLF meeting was attacked by pro-government militant groups, the JLF began a genocide and ethnic cleansing campaign against foreigners, calling it the "Jemnisian Purification Campaign". During that time, they killed well over 3500 foreign citizens before the Jemnisian capital, Bronaise, fell. Members of the former JLF fled to neighbouring countries, along with Delphinax, near the area that Viltrenisium had moved to. An influx of former JLF members, and a second declaration of independence of Jemnisia, resulted in the outbreak of the Delphinian Civil War. After about 1 month of fighting by both sides, the cells that consisted of the second Jemnisia were captured.
