[color=red][b]Empire of Mille-Sessau[/b][/color][/center]

[INDENT][b]January 8th, 1906[/b]

It would be war, then. The [b]Sessauan 12th Army[/b] was preparing to enter Kelric territory while diplomats worked feverishly to prepare the proper documents to be received by the Kelric government only hours before the first troops started to pour over the border. It wasn't to be so however. Diplomats from Deltora, Aontas, Soroya and even the reluctant Kalpian Republic met in Kormere to discuss the Sessauan's goals, recently rebuffed from the [b]Conference of Kormere[/b] ([i]1905[/i]).

A port. The Empire needed a port to foster international trade, colonization and the development of a naval arm so that it's reach might extend to other continents. The Empire was willing to go to war over it, but the [i]Sociatatem[/i], jointly reached the conclusion that submitting to the demands of Sessau, a power that was neither aligned with the [i]Sociatatem[/i] nor the famed Restoration, was better than a war.

That same week, 15,000 troops of the [b]Sessauan 12th Army[/b] marched into the port city of Hagsburg, just an hours ride north of Kormere to finalize the deal. The Kelric citizens there, now under the administration of the Imperial Army, were mostly bedazzled, but the newly instated Governor Neut von Laader, a second generation Sessauan with Soroyan grandparents promised a peaceful transition and immediately mandated a year free of taxation in response to the recent annexation.

While many were feverish about the issue, Governor von Laader, along with two divisions from the [b]Sessauan 12th Army[/b], felt that the Kelrics would have little to no issue adjusting to the new rule. The Kelric language and it's customs were unaltered. Passage between Kalpia and Soroya was unhindered, and a proposed railroad to run from Kalpia to Deltora was also not intervened with. The Kelric life would go on, except this time under the Imperial Banner of the Dual Empire of Mille and Greater Sessau.
