The War of The Mountain Kingdom was a military conflict that took place on March 30th, 2025 between the EmoKingdom03_ Empire/Snowy Peak Kingdom Alliance and Dumbgamers22 of La Royaume de la Montagne.
Dec. 1st, 2024 - Feb 2nd, 2025
On December 1st, 2024, a letter was sent to The Seaman Fox Channel by the Lt. King M. Sav of EmoKingdom03_, asking His Honourable Highness the Seaman if he would be interested in an arranged marriage with Dumbgamers22 of La Royaume de la Montagne ( The Mountain Kingdom ). Fox Channel accepted.
On the same day, a second letter was sent by Lt. King M. Sav, this time to Dumbgamers22 detailing the acceptance of his bride-to-be.
Original Letter sent from The Lt. King to Fox Channel on Fort Sauvagè stationary.
Second Letter sent from The Lt. King to Dumbgamers22 on Fort Sauvagè stationary.
Following the arrangements, a date would be arranged for the two to get to know one another on December 8th, 2024.
The date took place at La Mange Orange French restaurant in Stoneshire Territory, EmoKingdom03_ Empire.
The date worked well as a time to allow the two to get to know one another, before it erupted into a duel over Dumbgamers22's protection over Fox Channel.
After the date, it would be decided that they would go through with a marriage in order to join both EmoKingdom03_ and La Royaume de la Montagne together, with La R.D.L.M planned to become a principality within the EmoKingdom03_ Empire.
Wedding planning began in mid December of 2024 and hit a major roadblock in January.
In January of 2025, The Ships Act was passed by Parliament, allowing colonial governors the right to a free ship should they meet certain criteria. Following the meeting, the Governors of two colonies, GyattLand & MooTown each went to train for their sailing licenses.
The trainings took place on Lake Pontus, under the supervision of H.R.H. Lt. King M. Sav, Lt. High Admiral, and H.M. King Cubby I, Lord High Admiral & Lord Commander in Charge of Fort Sagitta.
The training & testing of Lord Governor Allen went well, before the testing and training of Governor Aria of MooTown took place.
Nearing the end of Lady Aria's training, there were major explosions caused by the cannons on the partly-sunk ship Themis, causing the sinking of The E.S.K. Chiron. The EmoKingdom03_ Empire put the blame at Dumbgamers feet.
Little evidence of the situation exists, with only part of the event being captured by a video stream being recorded by The King.
An investigation took place shortly after the event, and while Dumbgamers22 was on board the ship at the time, it cannot be verified that he was the one at fault.
Along with the sinking of the Chrion, Dumbgamers22 was also accused of damaging the Gyattland Bridge and the nearby EmoKingdom Border Wall, along with peppering the coastline of Lake Pontus in cannonfire.
On Febuary 2nd, 2025, during the 9th Session of Parliament, it was decided unilaterally that Dumbgamers22 had violated Article Eight of the Ships Act. The house debated on whether or not war was necessary, as the vessel sunk was a military vessel.
It was decided that Dumbgamers22 would be sentenced to death by hanging, and that war would not be declared. The execution order was signed and approved by members of parliament on the same day.
Though not explicitly outlined in the execution order, it was unofficially decided that Dumbgamers22 would have to be executed within 30 days of the Execution being issued, or war would be declared. This ultimatum would not be fulfilled, though it would be excused as H.M. King Cubby found himself indisposed for most of the allotted time period.
Feb. 20th, 2025 - March 30th, 2025
On Febuary 22nd, 2025, it was decided by EmoKingdom03_ that it was not satisfied with it's gains in the proposed marriage, and Operation Fragment was prepared by the Ministry of Defense to gain more from the arrangement.
Prior to the plan of Principality, EmoKingdom03_ had briefly negotiated with La Royaume de la Montagne about the possibility of becoming a colony, though Dumbgamers22 had turned down this offer for the idea of Principality instead.
The plan of Operation Fragment was to disrupt the Royal Marriage of Fox Channel & Dumbgamers22 in order to forcefully, but lawfully, annex La Royaume de la Montagne through the help of a secretly-passed parliamentary act named the Royal Marriages Nullification Act.
Passed during the 11th Session of Parliament, The RMN Act now mandated that in the event of the death of the non-royal side of a royal marriage, the Kingdom would be entitled to 2/3rds of the non-royal party's goods & valuables.
On the same day, Operation Fragment was ordered to be executed by EmoKingdom high command.
After Operation Fragment was activated, The EmoKingdom Ministry of Defense would order the construction of a new fort in the Spawn Territories. Fort Night was constructed on February 20th in preparation for war, should Operation Fragment lead to military action being taken against L.R.D.L.M.
On March 30th, EmoKingdom intelligence had began growing suspicious of an attack following the wedding. Prior to the 30th, threat level estimates were around 10-20% (Unlikely), as the Ministry of Defense thought that Dumbgamers22 may stage an attack to avoid being executed, though no proof of this was found prior.
Dumbgamers22 had requested that his last will & testament be read by H.M. King Cubby inside of his house, with fireworks going off after the opening and reading of the will. This immediately set off alarm bells inside the EmoKingdom03_ intelligence service, and shortly after, an inspection of Dumbgamer's house had shown a trapped chest linked to a redstone line leading to two dispensers in the ceiling containing TNT, with lava directly below the floor. The threat was then declared Very Likely.
Following this declaration, War Plan Red was signed and ordered to be executed by H.R.H Lt. King M. Sav, calling for emergency war preparations to be made to protect the Kingdom and Imperial Military Installations.
On the same day, Fort Night was quickly prepared for war, as new intelligence had rated the threat of attack from La Royaume de la Montagne after the wedding at 85% - Very likely. As part of the preparations, Lt. King M. Sav signed a material deployment request from the Ministry of Defense, authorizing and calling for the deployment of any and all necessary equipment to Fort Night, such as horses and TNT supplies from Fort Harenae and Fort Testudo, it also granted the sum of 26 Stacks of Emeralds or 26 Emrialds in preparation for an Emergency Deployment.
Shortly after, the Lt. King signed a document declaring emergency at Fort Night, as the stables and armory were hastily built.
It was around this time that War Plan Purple was written and revised by the Ministry of Defense. This war plan detailed how an invasion of R.D.L.M. was to be executed.
Following the preparations at Fort Night, an experimental weapon was quickly developed by the Ministry of Defense.
The Mountain Shield Artillery Vault (MSAV) was installed secretly in a mountain across from Dumbgamers house. The MSAV was essentially a hidden TNT cannon that hurled TNT over 30-40 blocks to be used in an emergency attack on La R.D.L.M.
Finally, remaining emergency funds from Fort Night were used to enchant a set of Netherite armor with specific enchantments to protect against TNT & Lava, this suit was given to H.M. King Cubby directly before the attack.

Following the success of the wedding, H.M. King Cubby was given his suit of Netherite armor, as he arrived at Dumbgamers home to read his last will before the execution at Fort Testudo.
As predicted, TNT fell from the ceiling upon the opening of the chest, destroying the floor to a pool of lava. Immediately, King Cubby was able to escape with his life, and the MSAV was activated by the Lt. King, firing TNT into the already destroyed house.
Following his escape, a barrage of gunfire broke out between the two sides, with Lt. King M. Sav giving the order to retreat to Fort Night, as the MSAV decimated what remained of the house.
While escaping the battle, Snowy Peak Kingdom soldiers met up with the EmoKingdom forces, and in a brief moment of standstill with the pursuing Dumbgamers22 catching up to the other forces, Dumbgamer attempted to summon a wither.
The soul sand & skulls were destroyed before the wither could be spawned, and Dumbgamer was immediately executed.
The forces then traveled to Fort Testudo to prepare for the execution by hanging of Dumbgamers22. After 2 Speeches by the Lt. King, Dumbgamers22 was successfully executed by hanging on March 30th, 2025, at 4:23AM EST. His last words were "I did this, for democracy".

Following the successful execution, EmoKingdom & Snowy Peak forces had an emergency meeting at Castle Emo, discussing what was to be done militarily. Finally, it was decided that the allied force would move to claim La Royaume de la Montagne.
Soon after, EmoKingdom & Snowy Peak forces met the Gyattland Militia at Fort Night to prepare for a second invasion of The Mountain Kingdom. It was ordered by H.M. King Cubby that a second attack take place, in hopes to officially claim the kingdom for the EmoKingdom Empire. It was at this time that War Plan Purple was officially activated.
Snowy Peak troops had pledged to provide air support during the attack, but then the entire force opted to execute a cavalry charge with the help of three horses. The force traveled over a temporary bridge, set up just hours prior, and charged for La Royaume de la Montagne.
The allied troops arrived at La Royaume de la Montagne, and a wither was spawned before the hastily retreat of Dumbgamers22.
The allied force then went into full attack on the wither, with DandiestCandy, SuperCubby, and Gov. Allen providing covering fire from below, and iMForess & M. Sav attacking head on at the top of the mountain. The wither was defeated without incident.
After the defeat of the wither, a full firefight broke out between Dumbgamers22 and allied forces. Now, two flags had been officially planted on La Royaume de la Montagne's territory, and EmoKingdom had chosen to defend them.
During the fight, Lord Governor Major UhAllen and his horse borrowed from Fort Night, Pegasus, were brutally murdered in cold blood by Dumbgamer. This would happen just after a moment of silence was held for his previous death in The Siege of Castle Wally.
The two sides briefly decided to halt the fight and travel to Fort Lexordo for negotiations.

March 30th, 2025.
At Fort Lexordo, allied troops briefly spoke before inviting Dumbgamer to negotiate on behalf of La Royaume de la Montagne.
A brief shooting match broke out, and it was halted immediately. Once everyone was seated, King Cubby led initial negotiations.
During tense negotiations, La Royaume de la Montagne would pledge that should peace not be agreed upon, that they would continue to fight a guerilla war. They demanded that the EmoKingdom03_ Empire allow them to forego paying taxes in return for the construction of a casino, of which 80-90% of profits would be given to EmoKingdom. They also demanded that they have the right to construct their own parliament, and be allowed to vote in EmoKingdom Parliament.
After hearing Dumbgamer's demands, H.M. King Cubby & H.R.H. Lt King M. Sav retreated briefly to the Commanders office, and discussed the offer. Though it is unknown exactly what was said behind closed doors, it is speculated that the two discussed the idea of plain colonization instead. One source close to the kingdom quotes the Lt. King saying "...Completely unacceptable!".
Soon after, the colonization deal was agreed upon, with the assurance in writing that La Royaume de la Montagne would be allowed to construct and host it's own parliament.
Following negotiations over colonization, a formal peace treaty was discussed, with each side pledging to accept blame should the treaty be broken in future. The King is quoted in this moment saying:
"It's not a matter of whether we will admit guilt, its a question of why you would question and plan for such a fail that is not going to occur in the first place, you are planning for war against what is supposed to be a peace negotiation, and its upsetting quite frankly!"
After negotiations were agreed upon, H.R.H. Lt King M. Sav had drafted the necessary treaty & colonization contract, and each were signed shortly there after, officially ending the War of the Mountain Kingdom.
