 ===The Deluge===
 The early 21st century saw increased international tension and armed conflict all over north and central [[Crona]], a period known as [[The Deluge|the Deluge]]. [[Daxia]] for its part saw the chaotic situation to advance its interests and settle some territorial ambitions. Agreeing during negotiations in [[Touxian]] on a memorandum of understanding with the [[Kiravia|Kiravian Federacy]] in 2010, that secretly divided the territory between Xisheng and [[Mid-Atrassic Crona]]. The agreement formalized the future control of [[Daxia]] over the entirety of the [[Ixa'Taka]]n rump and moreover apportioned western [[Nanseetucket|Nanzitolclatl]] and formalized the western half of the capital city of Rigo for Daxian control under the [[Rigo Joint Security Area]]. Within weeks of the agreement, [[Daxia]]n border forces began making incursions under the premise of protecting ethnic [[Chimoche|Chimor]] from being oppressed on the other side of the border. Ixa'Taka's monarch, King Cacama protested these violations before the [[League of Nations]] to no avail, [[Daxia]] even contrived to secure a mandate from the Security Council to 'secure' these territories. In any case a full fledge military attack was well underway while these proceedings were taking place, [[Chimoche|Chimor]] irregular forces moved in small numbers into western [[Ixa'Taka]] followed shortly after by a strong mechanized [[Daxia]]n assault that overwhelmed [[Ixa'Taka]]n static defenses at numerous points of the frontline and caused a mass rout among Ixa'Takan forces. [[Ixa'Taka]]n remants regrouped at the capital of Rixis which soon came itself under aerial attack; mass use of glide bombs rendered all of the capitals defenses into debris within two weeks. As the [[Daxia]]n armored thrust pushed north and south of the city, the risk of encirclement became a coming certainty. King Cacama got in touch with the [[Daxia]]n High Command and requested an armistice, which was granted. The statelet of [[Ixa'Taka]] was thereafter under strict military occupation while its dismantling was carried out; the monarchy was abolished, the remains of its defense forces were demobilized and its independence snuffed out. Only in 2015 would it regain a semblance of self rule with the passing and implementation of the Law on Autonomies, however instead of King Cacama a new ruler was installed over [[Ixa'Taka]], an outsider with no local ties named Gurban Mamedow would act as a strongman closely monitored by the [[Daxia]]ns. There are certain theories that [[Ixa'Taka]] and the other Autonomies currently function as laboratories for new ways of politically organizing the many [[Crona]]n peoples under [[Daxia]]n rule.

+[[Nanseetucket|Nanzitolclatl]] for its part was subject to its own tribulations during this period. The government of Mirek Alaganek was under attack by Kiravia's 45th Army corps, fighting on behalf of the Chappaquiddick Peace Council and its drive for independence. Alaganek's forces were demoralized and losing ground quickly in the face of Kiravian technological superiority. Tragically for [[Nanseetucket|Nanzitolclatl]] the past assurances of [[Daxia]] that it would not involve itself in affairs east of [[Ixa'Taka]] were shelved in favor of the full implementation of he [[Touxian]] Agreement. The following attack on [[Nanseetucket|Nanzitolclatl]]'s western flank proved catastrophic for its strategic position, as the bulk of its combat worthy units were in the east of the country. The rapid [[Daxia]]n advance towards [[Rigo Joint Security Area|Rigo]] from the west soon turned the military situation untenable for the government as it simply lacked the reserves or logistics to mount a proper defense against the surprise attack. Under pressure by two militarily superior foes, the regime of Mirek Alaganek began dissolving, the leader himself attempting to escape hidden inside of a fridge before his capture. The collapse and debellation of [[Nanseetucket|Nanzitolclatl]] was propagandized as a great victory for the international order, the elimination of a vain and cruel regime with a very narrow band of ethnic support. With multiple Security Council resolutions in hand, [[Daxia]] and [[Kiravia]] proceeded to carve out the territory between them, [[Daxia]]'s half being absorbed into Xisheng and the [[Kiravia]]n half eventually evolving into the [[Mid-Atrassic_States]].
+The start of hostilities between [[Daxia]] and [[Varshan]] can be pointed to a border delimitation dispute between both nations following the fall of [[Nanzitolclatl]]. Both nations began a policy of aggressive military build-up and posturing on the disputed border of Xisheng and north Varshan, including several clashes that resulted in deaths from the two sides. [[Daxia]]n forces began the hasty construction of a set of four strong defensive lines, collectively known as the [[Chen Line]]; the fortification was considered too resilient to even countenance an attempt by Varshan's forces to breach it. As [[Urcea]] and its dependencies were dragged into a shooting war with [[Varshan]], forcing the latter to withdraw numerous units from the Xisheng frontier region, the [[Daxia]]n political leadership committed to an opportunistic attack of its own to settle the border issue by force, as had happened with [[Nanzitolclatl]]. Even with the shift in resources to [[Cetsencalia]], [[Daxia]]n forces were still numerically inferior to their [[Varshan]]i counterparts. A large portion of [[Daxia]]n strength in [[Crona]] represented in the main body of the [[Army of Conquest]] was still engaged north in a simmering conflict with the [[Alpachnia|Alpachnee Confederation]]. [[Daxia]]n High Command believed its air assets on hand, partial element of surprise and the qualitative edge of its forces would be enough to nullify the [[Varshan]]i advantage in numbers. On May 25, 2021, [[Daxia]]n artillery alongside drones began an intensive bombardment of [[Varshan]]i positions south of the Amox river. By May 29, [[Daxia]]n forces had constructed several pontoon bridges and were crossing over the Amox into [[Varshan]] proper. Pushing back light counter-attacks, a mechanized thrust  aided by irregular detachments and drone sorties, secured several bridgeheads allowing [[Daxia]]n forces to continue pouring forth. Initially unable to hold back the [[Daxia]]n advance, [[Varshan]]'s Northern zone commander [[Shai Malan-Zar]] adopted a strategy of defense in depth, quickly ordering his forces to fall back to prepared defensive lines north of Shimrra, further out of range of [[Daxia]]n artillery. As [[Varshan]]'s own invasion of [[Cetsencalia]] found increased battlefield gains, [[Varshan]] command saw fit to transfer back significant forces to the fighting on Xisheng, where the [[Daxia]]n offensive was bogged down 35 km north of the city of Shimrra. The sudden influx of battle hardened reinforcements saw the reversal of the limited [[Daxia]]n gains within two months, forcing them back to the Amox river, and then forcing them to conduct a hasty fighting retreat back across it. These setbacks forced field marshal [[Bort Borg]] to finally recall the bulk of the [[Army of Conquest]] from the north in order to salvage the worsening situation and stabilize the front. With local superiority [[Varshan]] forces successfully crossed the Amox after several abortive and costly landing attempts and began capturing several towns and strongpoints south of the [[Chen Line]] while [[Daxia]]n retreated to avoid being destroyed in pitched battle by overwhelming numbers.
+Within a month the [[Daxia]]n army fought to hold and then abandoned the towns of Khaw, Hong Guo, Mian, Baiga, Shul, Cheshen, Waguo, Chongzi and Anqi alongside most of the first line of defense. [[Daxia]]n forces repositioned alongside the Wajj-Chan-Sagnu defensive axis to try and prevent a breakthrough. [[Varshan]] conducted pinning attacks on the towns of Wajj and Sagnu while pushing towards the transport hub of Gatua. This attack marked the high point of [[Varshan]]'s offensive inside Xisheng and was the furthest it managed to advance into [[Daxia]]n territory. The initial [[Varshan]]i attempt to capture the centrally located town of Gatua saw them overrun the defenders and take almost 80% of the city, leaving the [[Daxia]]ns only in control of the northern industrial district and the airport. A higher tempo of drone sorties and the first massive use of chemical weapons in the war managed to stop the city from falling completely. Deployed by the [[Army of Conquest]] through rockets, chlorine gas attacks led to thousands of [[Varshan]]i soldiers suffocating in the southernmost districts of the city. Brutal urban combat raged for two months as both sides fought over every street, sewer and ruined building. Most of the ethnic Daxians had been previously evacuated, but the [[Crona]]n inhabitants were left to fend for themselves during the battle, resulting in thousands of casualties at the hands of both armies. Continued chemical attacks, missile attacks on supply depots and the grinding of their forces by artillery pushed the [[Varshan]]i command to retreat from the city and order their forces south to preserve its battle worthiness. The heavy losses incurred in Gatua brought the [[Varshan]]i counteroffensive to a halt, as depleted units were forced to abandon their positions and be removed from the front to be replenished and refitted.
