Eviction of Ribbon Archipelago

"A big battle. Many died, as the savages used some form of acid against us. My face is plagued by horrible pain. I don't know if I will survive. I don't even know, where our camp is." - Sabastian Mendo, veteran of the Eviction.

The Conflict

Prelude

The military campaign began as the Dragani Empire decided to remove a thorn from their side in the form of Redbelly Port. An infamous pirate safe-haven that harbored and even organised and planned most of attacks, heists and assaults that pirates were involved in. Meant to serve as a quick finishing blow, the military campaign stretched out longer than expected.

Battlefield

Several fields of battle were used during the military campaign. Initial confrontations escalated on southern Ribbon Archipelago, near Redbelly Port. However, as the numbers of the Draganian Empire dwindled over the years, their forced were pushed further and further north.

Outcome

With the forces of Dargani Empire gathering their strength, the campaign finally ended. Mostly due to financial reasons, Dargani Empire only managed to hold a small foothold to the north of Ribbon Archipelago. The Empire continues to safeguard its keep to this day.

Historical Significance

Legacy

The campaign itself is a stain on the Empires history and especially in the rule of Nargani III. As the Dargani Empire is a distant political power, it did not suffer any cautionary consequences for their actions other than a dent in their reputation.

Objectives

The objective of the Draganian Empire was to expell the seas of Cauldron of Creation from the threat of pirate lords and captains, by showing a rule of dominance and a harsh punishment to the savage leader of the said pirates.

The objective for the pirates of Redbelly Port was simply to exist and to continue on their business of plundering and raiding. This is unlikely to change anytime soon, as the Draganian Empire withdrew their forces.
