Titanian Occupation of Vascrin

The Titanian Occupation of Vascrin was the occupation by Titanian military forces of the Kingdom of Vascrin within the High Kingdom of Arkasia which began on March Twenty-Third, 2009. The Titanian government had officially referred to it as an annexation, however this had been received highly negatively by the larger international community, and the has passed a resolution condemning the occupation.

There had been rumors since mid-2014 that Arkius II Doomer, ruler of the Kingdom of Arksalis across the Arkasian Bay has been supporting resistance fighters in the occupied regions, perhaps even going so far as to go there and lead them in engagements with the Titanian occupation forces himself. Meanwhile, the whereabouts of Arkanian III Valyrys, the King of Vascrin, had been publicly unknown since shortly after the occupation began.

It is believed that the Titanian government, seeing the opportunity to end the border disputes with Arkasia in the region caused by the Arkasian Civil War, sent in their forces without officially declaring war in an attempt to seize the territory before foreign intervention could halt their efforts. However, the occupying forces attempted to go farther, seemingly only being stopped by threat of war with Retania, Staevir and Civia, which were attempting to keep a peaceful balance in the region.
