New Finngolian settlers illegally entered the Kovanje territory of Finbeland and clashed with forces of the free state, who succeeded in driving out the finnvaders.

Settlers from New Finngolia landed in Finbeland, the former territory of the defunct Republic of Alempois now under administration of the Kovanje Vrystaat.

Khan Kovio and kr1sto95 faced the intruder, venomthrope (a known mod abuser). When he geared for combat to stand his men, the two Kovanje citizens took flight however. Scornign them cowards, the Finngol leader demanded satisfaction, and proposed the PVP arena at the old spawn as the site of the confrontation, for the conflict to be resolved in an honourable duel between him and kr1sto95. As he waited in vain, he teleported back to Finbeleland.

The Boer forces awaited the savage horde in full battle gear, and thus the battle began. The battlefield moved from the fields of Finbeleland into the woods—a tactical disadvantage for the army of Kovanje, which relied heavily on artillery support. venomthrope thus succeeded in taking out kr1sto95. Thus having rid himself of the curtain fire, he concentarted his forces on Kovio, and subdued him.

Though the Finngols proclaimed themselves victorious, reinforcements from Kovanje soon landed on the shores of Finbeleland and recovered the equipment of the fallen. kr1sto95 prepared a trap for venomthrope and rigged the settlements floating church with TNT; a mistake set off the explosives too early, though the Finngolian forces, in disorganisation, were exposed to artillery fire. The battled continued to rage along the beach; despite brave Finngolian efforts, the Boers successfully held the high ground, allowing them to keep bombarding the Finngols, driving them into the sea.

Venomthrope, now seaborne, was suddenly attacked by Zombie Frogmen. These proved to be unreliable however, as when Kovio and kr1sto95 took to the seas as well their special forces betrayed them and turned on them. Nonetheless, their constant cannonfire succeeded in keeping Finngolia's fleet at distance. The fighting continued inconclusively, though, outnumbered and taking constant damage, venomthrope's eventual defeat became inevitable. Riddled with arrows, he shipwrecked on the shore, and opted for a hasty retreat.

Kovio and kr1sto95 had successfully asserted Kovanje's claim to Finbeleland, and no Finngol was ever sighted in the region again.

The songs of Jovanje Vrystaat glorify the victory wrought from the hands of fate that day.

Nothing of significance, though venom had been turned into a pin cushion.
