During this period, the famous "Dinner of Sorrows" occurred, where Kevlar Vaughn invited [[Constantine IV Mako|Constantine IV]] to a dinner at the Aurean base that would be occupied by the Sarovians in the Crown Colony of Westling region (that is, Kevlar would wait 1 Stefanic Year for this dinner happened). 1 Stefanic Year passed, and [[Constantine IV Mako|Constantine IV]] would arrive, and would immediately go to meet Kevlar who would be together with his officers. This dinner was a complete disaster for the New Sarovian Empire, where Kevlar would try to assassinate the Sarovian Monarch, but was prevented by Rear Admiral Crockett, thus starting the first official skirmish between the NFR and ETEC, that is, between the Aurean Empire and the New Sarovian Empire. The skirmish would initially be won by the Sarovians, but, in a twist, the score would change completely. Kevlar would shoot [[Constantine IV Mako|Constantine IV]] in the liver, forcing an immediate evacuation. After days of refuge on the southern island of the Continent, a letter arrived via carrier pigeon to Constantine IV that a group of Auelian loyalists would be emerging and threatening the sovereignty of Sarovia, which caused ETEC to immediately set sail from Ostos. to Estos in search of resolving more important issues in the motherland.

=== Background to the War ===

Also noted in this image is [[Tsu Kinwood|Tsu Bonhart]], who would later become [[Governor-General of Carolusburg|Governor-General of the Dominion of Carolusburg]].'']]
On March 7, 2021 at 5PM EST, the Aurean Empire led by [[King of Carolusburg and Aurea (title)|Aurean Emperor]] Kevlar IV Vaughn, held a conference at the [[Carodian Assembly of Peers|Aurean House of Lords]] which was dubbed: "'''The Rhine Conference'''", where the rezoning of Ostos was discussed, expanding the claimable territories from just 21 to a number almost triple that size; as well as the formation of a large regulatory body for the '''Western GMC''' in the form of a [[Stefanic Church|Church]]. Initially, the idea seemed good, and therefore the wars in Ostos would be suspended until an official Western GMC was reorganized by the nations.

However, the following day (03/08/2021) at 5PM EST, the [[Royal Carodian Militia|Aurean Old Guard Corps]] would march to the [[Dominion of Carolusburg|Crown Colony of Carolusburg]], established in southern Ostos by the New Sarovian Empire, and issue a declaration of war which would become ignored by Sarovian troops due to the fact that the presence of the '''Rhine Conference''' prohibited wars until the organization of a Western GMC. However, the Aurean Empire, which coincidentally would become the mediator, broke this treaty by invading a Sarovian colony, thus declaring a formal war for the first time in 4 years on the New Sarovian Empire.

=== The Declaration of War on the Sixth Aurean Empire ===
Knowing of the atrocities that the Sixth Aurean Empire had committed, [[Constantine IX Vasa]] at 10PM EST on March 24, 2021, officially approves the formal state of war between the New Sarovian Empire and Her Colonies and Dominions and the Aurean Empire. This would mean that for the first time in a long time, the [[Imperial Navy|Imperial Sarovian Navy]], more precisely, the [[Far West Fleet]], would go into action to suppress the Aurean threat on the Contient of Ostos, initiating the famous Saro-Aurean Skirmishes that would last until the [[Second Saro-Aurean War (2022)]]
== The Claims to the Sarovian and Aurean Throne ==
=== Aurean claim to the Sarovian throne ===
On September 20, 2020, an alleged document would be released in which "Constantine VIII" (a pretender to the Sarovian throne without any legitimacy), would hand over his supposed claims to the leadership of the Aurean Empire through the [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/680165153152827482/915893466335170590/Act_of_Abdication_and_Relinquishment_1-2-1-1-1.pdf?ex=662a1ec2&is=6617a9c2&hm=ec8aecc5212e68ce06ea97aa33c6c613cc301d253b9a400fc9627d487ac9e5d8& Act of Abdication and Relinquishment, 2020]. Although it was an illegitimate document, it would give the Aurean leadership a taste for the first time in history of the strength of the New Sarovian Empire. According to a famous quote by Kevlar Vaughn:<center>''"For the first time in all of history, I could feel the glory of the Sarovian throne. Its influence under noble warriors, kind and loyal. Unlike the filth of feudalism, I noticed the beautiful and perfect Sarovian democracy"''</center>This would mean that by the end of the Auro-Amestrian wars, the Aurean Empire would claim the Sarovian throne, with Laken as the supposed "[[King of the Sarovians (title)|King of the Sarovians]]". Furthermore, during the reign of Cassio I Vaughn, he would deliver false claims to the Jacobite rebels ([https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/680165153152827482/932455059277643806/Treaty_of_New_Fiore_4.pdf?ex=6625c572&is=66135072&hm=4458908549bd64e67a9762826a21a3e27baf2c077db88b508c87979d4583bca8& Treaty of New Fiore]) with the aim of harming Sarovian activity, which was a failure as, weeks later, the Jacobites would be completely annihilated.
