Fate of Chamalia

Genocide of Chamalia: The Tragic End of an Empire

  The demise of the Chamalia Empire led to one of the darkest chapters in the history of Arshmunnu—the complete genocide of the Chamalian people. This catastrophic event marked the end of an empire that had once been a dominant force in Exalia, leaving a legacy that has profoundly altered the region's geopolitical and ethical landscape.
 

Background

The Chamalia Empire's aggressive expansion ultimately provoked a formidable coalition of the Lundenford Alliance, Old Armorica, and Gothia. As these forces regained their territories, their mission evolved from expulsion to the total elimination of the Chamalian threat.
 

The Final Campaigns (638 AF, Frigidi)

The last military campaigns against Chamalia commenced in 638 AF, during the cold period of Frigidi, aiming to obliterate Chamalia’s military and governmental infrastructure:

Strategic Objectives: To dismantle all remnants of Chamalian power to prevent any potential resurgence.

Tactics Employed: The allied forces employed ground invasions, aerial assaults by mages, and strategic bombings of crucial Chamalian locations.

Execution: With overwhelming might, the coalition advanced, overrunning the weakened Chamalian defenses and securing all strategic locations.

 

The Genocide

The final phase of the campaign escalated into a full-scale genocide:

Systematic Eradication: The coalition forces executed a thorough extermination of the Chamalian population, eliminating any possibility of cultural or political revival.

Total Annihilation: This brutal policy ensured the complete destruction of the Chamalian identity, aiming to secure a future free of Chamalian influence or retaliation.

 

Aftermath and Reflection

The genocide left deep moral and ethical scars on Exalia and had significant repercussions:

Moral and Ethical Consequences: The deliberate extermination of an entire people sparked international outrage and introspection across Exalia, questioning the morality of such actions in warfare.

Geopolitical Reconfigurations: The power vacuum left by Chamalia's eradication reshaped the continent’s political landscape, leading to the rise of new powers and the strengthening of old ones.

Legacy of Remembrance and Caution: Memorials and historical narratives about the genocide serve as grim reminders of the horrors of war and the consequences of unchecked power. They stress the importance of adhering to international laws that protect civilian populations and prohibit genocidal acts.

  The tragic end of the Chamalia Empire serves as a somber lesson in the history of Arshmunnu, underscoring the catastrophic effects of imperial overreach and the essential need for ethical conduct in international relations and warfare. This event continues to resonate, reminding future generations of the dire consequences of dehumanizing the enemy and the vital need for compassion and restraint in conflict.
