| Notes | ||
The Angularis Offensive Operation was a limited incursion by the Imperial Forces into the territory of the Elwynnese Union in an effort to forestall an invasion of the Imperial Dominions mooted by the Landsraad as a response to the disputed succession that arose in the wake of the Oustfest Massacre and the death of Kaiser Dominus.
Background
In the wake of the Oustfest Massacre and the twelve days of anarchy in Shirekeep which followed the reported death of Kaiser Dominus under dubious circumstances in a Palace Coup orchestrated by Tokaray al-Osman, Adam Ayreon-Kalirion and Ludovic Verion (the so-called KOV Triumvirate). The unity of this new ruling clique, united only in a common loathing of Kaiser Dominus in his later years, was fatally undermined by disagreements concerning the rights of non-human sentient creatures and finally by the decision of Tokaray, then reigning as Kaiser Aurangzeb II Steffki, to attack Lichbrook rather than Elwynn.
The original coalition collapsed after the departure of Ludovic for Blackstone, having followed the Kaiser's example in looting the treasury on the way out, and the decision of Aurangzeb II to abdicate on Ermure 22 Oskaltequ after a reign of a mere one hundred and thirty days.
