The Bastiynia-Metalloid Crisis is an ongoing conflict between the Republic of Bastiynia and a force of metalloids. The crisis began with the metalloids suddenly attacking the republic during The Grand Reveal on 30 Tarsakh 855.
Events
The Grand Reveal
The Grand Reveal was the Bastiynian Senate's planned and incomplete reveal of the Winborne One on 30 Tarsakh 855 when a swarm of metalloids briefly invaded Xaicestra. The creatures left the city after several minutes.
Initial Reactions
Hours after the metalloids departed Xaicestra, the senate declared several orders for the government.
- Maintain the heavy police presence within Xaicestra
- Dispatch the Velvet Cardinals to track down the metalloids
- Locate and arrest Rilitar Glyntoris, an agent of the Department of Discovery who suddenly went missing
- Suspend all government workers who are registered subjects
State of Emergency and Army Mobilization
On 3 Mirtual 855, four days after the Grand Reveal, the Bastiynian Senate made their first public address regarding the crisis. They issued a national state of emergency and began military measures. Bastiynian Army troops, most notably from Hudale, were deployed to support all major cities.
The senate also released some details regarding the invasion. The metalloids only made their attack upon Xaicestra, and there had been no sightings around other cities nor the borders. They warned that the metalloids might not have left Bastiynia.
Raid on Witlan Forest
According to report, the Cardinals tracked the metalloids northwest of Xaicestra to the vicinity of Witlan Forest. There they encountered heavy goblin activity and were unable to pass into the forest with their resources at hand. They immediately returned to Xaicestra.
Based on the Cardinals' report, the senate believed the metalloids must be hiding within the forest, perhaps with the help of the Witlan Goblins, the Witlan Gnomes, or both. They ordered that military action must be placed upon the forest to sort out the metalloids.
Over the following week, the army organized and dispatched two companies of soldiers towards Witlan forest. The first intended to evaluate the goblins' strength and discover any involvement with the metalloids. The second was sent to investigate the gnomes and remove them from the forest.
Bastiynia-Witlan Conflict
On 10 Mirtual 855, a few miles southeast of Witlan Forest, a company of armymen led by Captain Onathan Dorne encountered a large group of Witlan Goblinoids waiting in ambush. Prior to combat, VASTL intercepted and warned the company, allowing them to defeat the ambush party. Nevertheless, the company suffered massive casualties.
The army plans to soon return to the forest with a larger force and eliminate the goblins. To help facilitate this, VASTL was contracted to assassinate Glozek, the Butcher, the boss of the Witlan Goblins. They completed this task on 19 Mirtul.
By 17 Mirtul, the army had returned to the forest with over 200 armsmen. Several parties believe the army will defeat all remaining goblinoids, thereby ending the Witlan-Goblin War.
Meanwhile, the army was once again in search of the Witlan Gnomes, sending a company of 50 men into the northern region of the forest. Due to VASTL warning the gnomish leaders, the army has yet to find a single gnome. Further, VASTL was able recover a Homing Rod from the goblinoids prior to the republic finding it for themselves.
