Introduction The Prince-Bishopric of Garahun is a zealous state proud of its great navy. The people follow the Iusmarite faith, and are led by a prince-bishop, elected by the Council of Illegon upon the previous Bishops death. The bishop holds almost complete control over the country but may be deposed by the Council of Illegon if it so pleases. Recently, however, laws making the calling together of the council difficult have been passed. Garahun has a population of almost 12.000.000 people, and the population is heavily militarized. The navy is led by the Synod of Udôn, who often holds sway over the prince-bishop. Garahun has naval bases around Udôn, and on the islands in the Salt Sea.

The South Hallessekratamian War After the Great Nuran War and the second Kalmachian Civil War in 1345-1347, tensions between Garahun and Kalmach were at an all-time high. During the civil war, the Anti-Imperialist government reluctantly ceded the provinces of South Hallessekratamia, Brahair, and Western Krymóst to Garahun. This was because of the Garahunnic threat of an all-out invasion of Hallassekratamia during the second civil war. The prince-bishop oppressed the local Kratans of his newly acquired lands, but political resistance persisted. On the 6th of October 1419, the prince-bishop ordered the murder of several political figures and Kratan resistance members who had gathered in Anschenhof, which ended the organised resistance in South Hallessekratamia and Brahair. The 6th of October 1399 became known as the Red Night of Anschenhof. The remaining resistance fighters called for Kalmachian aid. Culminating factors of political murder by Garahun, the public support to reconquer their lost lands, and the suppression of their fellow brethren, caused the Kalmachian government to secretly plan a direct invasion of the country, with the aims of liberating the former Kalmachian territories of West Krymóst, and the entire states of South Hallessekratamia, and Brahair. The original plan had been to slowly increase resistance in the area, with hopes of setting up a puppet state that would later vote for re-unification, but with such a golden opportunity, the oligarchs pressured the president into using the assassinations as an excuse citing “blatant racial genocide, and discriminatory suppression of human rights”. On the morning of the 20th of April 1420, the Kalmachian government gave a long statement on international state television that they would be entering Garahun for the purpose of liberating the Kalmachian majority in their former territories mentioned above. In late April 1420, Kalmachian forces bombed the border of Garahun before entering South Hallessakratamia. The border guards of Garahun stood no chance and were completely overrun by the ground troops of the Kalmachian army. The Garahunnic navy was already mobilised and sailed to the strait of Brachiberg, where they pushed back the Kalmachian ships. The Kalmachian land army conquered South Hallessekratamia within half a year, with minor resistance in the region being the deciding factor. The mostly Kratan, and by extension, Kalmash peoples of Southern Hallessekratamia received the Kalmachian army gracefully in Anschenhof. The Kalmachians of Anschenhof made it a holiday within the city, known as “Frihetschthagh” in Kalmash, or “Freedom-day” in common. However, as the Kalmachians pushed slightly into majority Garahunnic territory, resistance slowly increased. It was for the Kalmachian army imperative that they captured the key city of Ilragon, as it was a supply area key to holding on to the long front line of guerilla warfare that the Kalmachians saw themselves in. After conquering West Krymóst in November of 1420, the Kalmachians met heavy resistance at Udôn; a city split by the Marahor River. They conquered the west side, home to poor residents of primarily Kratan ethnicity. However, the Garahunnians destroyed the bridges on the river, and a stalemate ensued in the city. Garahunnic ships patrolled the river and forced the Kalmachians to dig in. After a stand-still between the start of 1421 and late 1422, Kalmachian tanks rolled into the small city Ilragon, where the now battle-hardened Garahunnic forces had entrenched themselves and prepared anti-tank weaponry. After a two-day struggle leading to 15000 Kalmach and 7000 Garahunnic casualties, the Kalmachians took the city. The Garahunnians moved back to a second stronger line of defense. Since this, another stalemate has persisted. Kalmachian plans for the next stage of the war are primarily focused on occupying the rest of the Kratan and Oodwanese territories. As there’s still an area the size of Osto in the south that has yet to be liberated. The Garahunnian navy is planning an invasion of the Kalmachian island of Osto, but reconsiderations of the idea are popping up, as the island is heavily garrisoned.
