With the Gibson Gap liberated, and their attack on Dunborough an abject failure, Kelekona requested that the League of Nations negotiate an armistice. The [[Alstin|United Republic of Alstin]] acted as a negotiating intermediary between the two nations. An initial ceasefire was agreed upon in the first week of December, with both sides halting offensive actions and Arcer forces withdrawing from Bambara and back into their sovereign borders. The negotiations ended with the pre-conflict borders reaffirmed by both sides, and Arcer forces spent Christmas with the local populace in Foxhey, with many soldiers welcomed into the small hovels and fishing homes of local families for Christmas Dinners. Modern traditions for the Royal Easthampton Borderers still include fish served at the Christmas Mess Dinner to honour this achievement. Arcer casualties had not been light, and the 33 soldiers captured by Kelekonese forces were returned on New Year's Day as part of a prisoner exchange, that occurred in Riverton, Alstin, with the Arcer Air Force flying the troops home the following week to be reunited by their family. In Kelekona, the result of the war's outcome and the economic recession's continuance resulted in the 1988 military Junta's coup d'etat, which was widely speculated to be sponsored covertly via Arcerion's Office of Public Safety and National Security as retaliation for continued communist attacks on Arco sovereignty. | With the Gibson Gap liberated, and their attack on Dunborough an abject failure, Kelekona requested that the League of Nations negotiate an armistice.
