First Taigain War

The First Taigain War (23 December 1620 - 27 August 1626) was an armed conflict between the Taigain Empire, and the 'Free Nations' of Ki and Budden. By the 25th of June, Taigain forces had seized more than half of the Budden continent. 7 days later, the war reached an apparent ending when Taigain forces halted their advance. Although no official political statements were made on Taigain's behalf, the Budden Council declared the war over.

Background
Continuing their expansion through unoccupied land, Budden established their northern-most settlement of Jyotan in 1600. Jyotan was designed as a port town, with the intention of exploring further north across the Lilad Sea and preparing for the possiblity of trade with any foreign nations they might encounter.

Meanwhile, on the continent of Taigain (now known as the Koven continent), The empire of Taigan had just enslaved the nations of Ven and Kohu and had begun preparations for a war fleet to continue it's conquest.

Events of the War
On the 20th of December 1620, Port Jyotan came under attack by the full force of the Taigain Navy. Completely unfortified and lacking any military presence, Jyotan fell instantly. 3 days later, word of the invasion reached the Budden Council who swiftly announced an official declaration of war.

Unprepared for the combat and unaware of the identity of their enemy, the Budden armed forces were extremely slow to mobilise. Clan Wyushu was the first to prepare it's warriors and were consequently sent forth to investigate the attack. Wyushu warriors met with the Taigain invaders in the town of Ishomaka, leading to the 2 week Battle of Ishomaka. Outnumbered, the Wyushu clan was forced to retreat.

Conclusion
On the 30th of June 1626, Budden defenders of the Chun-do Clan stationed at the town of Wai-So rushed to fortify the small village in response to the rapidly advancing invading force expected to arrive the next morning. After 20 days of vigilant waiting, the Chun-do commander, Dahn Chun, sent word to the council that he did not anticipate an attack on Wai-So and that Budden should regroup and take the offensive. Eager to end the hostilities, the Council instead officially declared the end of the war.
