Lucifenian Expansion War

The Asmo-Beelzenian War refers to the series of conflicts fought between Lucifenia, the Beelzenian Empire, and Asmodean. It began with Lucifenia declaring war on the latter and later defeating the both.

Origins
Sometime before EC 399, Beelzenia had acquired several territories to expand the declining empire. In EC 399, the north-western territory began to campaign to become an independent nation. Their request was granted, creating the Kingdom of Lucifenia. Lucifen I was crowned the monarch of this new nation. Over the course of the next 75 years, Lucifenia developed a militarialistic society, and sought to increase its borders.

A Growing Nation
Beginning in EC 475, Lucifenia declared war on Beelzenia and began to invade. Led by Leonhart Avadonia, Commander of the Royal Guard, they suceeded in taking the empire over, gaining its many territories. Once the kingdom had won Beelzenia, they headed for Asmodean. In EC 477, a battle occured in the Babul Desert, bordering Lucifenia and Asmodean. Leonhart along with the rest of the Lucifenian Royal Guard, battled against Gast Venom and his allies. Lucifenia had won, and continued to prevail in winning over territories of Beelzenia and Asmodean.

The Three Heroes
After Lucifenia had grown, Elluka Clockworker took the Sansoun Bridge Oath, pledging alleigance to serve the King and Queen of Lucifenia. After nearly a decade of fighting, Lucifenia successfully gained territories from Beelzenia and Asmodean. When the war was finished, the three main leaders of the war: Leonhart, Elluka, and Mariam Futapie, were hailed as the Three Heroes.

Aftermath
After Beelzenia and Asomdean had been defeated, the Goula disease had infected the two nations. Not only had the war left the two countries struggling, but with the blow of the Goula disease was too much for them to handle. King Arth Lucifen d'Autriche had died from the epidemic, and Lucifenia made peace with Beelzenia, ceasing the warring period. However, Asmodean was left in shambles, and soon became a territory of Marlon.

Civillian Perception
The citizens of Lucifenia viewed these conflicts as a positive outcome, seeing that their newly formed empire was growing. As for the citizens of Beelzenia and Asmodean, their territory was vastly decreasing, leaving less and less resources, the receding nations were left in ruin.
