| - | On the second day of the server, [[people:vladimirr|v1adimirr]] noticed a large wall next to Nova Kurwa. Upon inspection, he found it to be an independent fort and he confronted the residents. Informing them that they were building on Kurwan soil, he gave them the option to continue building, be given Kurwan materials and help, and fly under the banner of Kurwa, or to leave the nation's land. HendzisLv refused both options, responding that Nova Kurwa had no legitimate claim to the land, as there was no sign within the fort's walls. The Nova Kurwans pointed to a number of signs inside Nova Kurwa (100-200 blocks from the fort) as well as the wiki that claimed the "entire island," though the Libuans refused to accept them as proof. To further deligitimise the Kurwan claims, during the night Grabarz19 and HendzisLv snuck behind the Kurwan town wall and cut a canal through, seperating the two land masses so that the fort was not part of the island anymore and, in their eyes, not subject to the claim. Tired of fruitless negotiations and griefing, the Kurwans drew their swords and assaulted the fortress. | + | On the second day of the server, [[people:vladimirr|v1adimirr]] noticed a large wall next to [[nations:nova_kurwa|Nova Kurwa]].

| - | The Kurwans called upon their allies of [[nations:battx2|Batt.x2]] and [[nations:merchant_republic_of_west_rhodes|West Rhodes]] to aid them in the first conflict of the server. Once together, v1adimirr led the assault party to the South Keep, part of the Nova Kurwan town wall adjacent to Fort Libau, to sleep so that they would respawn near the action. | + | The Kurwans called upon their allies [[nations:merchant_republic_of_west_rhodes|West Rhodes]] to aid them in the first conflict of the server.

| The ambiguity of the situation led both sides to question what items were allowed under the [[battles:rules_of_engagement|Rules of Engagement]]. Erring on the side of caution, Nova Kurwa equipped its men with only iron armor and weapons, but were soon cut down in the opening stages of the assault by the Libauns, who had outfitted themselves with diamond armor and even diamond swords. The Libauns had taken position on the ramparts of their fort and fired arrows into the Kurwan lines as they advanced toward the fort. V1adimirr was the first to breach the walls by using a secret entrance and slayed a Libaun from behind, drawing first blood, but was himself soon cut down by HendzisLv, who was wielding a diamond sword. V1adimirr's cries of foul fell on deaf ears and the conflict continued. | The ambiguity of the situation led both sides to question what items were allowed under the [[battles:rules_of_engagement|Rules of Engagement]].
