Pehtlya forms new alliances with Sukavia and with Byukistan. Byukistan also forms an alliance with Kori. Galesong Islands changes its name to Galesong (officially, the Viridian Lands of Galesong), and expands its territory eastward.

August 3, 2024: Byukistan defects from the UFNC to join the Western Coalition, though the official membership document would never actually be signed

August 11, 2024: The corruption around the Arfifact sites in Craftia and Gulan begins to spread more rapidly and chaotically.  Late in the evening, an earthquake severely damages the monitoring station in Craftia  after a strange transmission is recieved at the site. Fort Craftia also sustains some damage  during the quake

August 12, 2024: The CWA is alerted to the situation surrounding the Artifact and the mysterious message recieved the day before. Work begins to decode the transmission 

August 24, 2024:  The transmission is decoded to be instructions written by a Xenon Science Inc. (a JCAD Corp. branch) claiming to be from an alternate universe. The message reveals that corruption from the Artifact was caused by a rift between both universes, and that its destructive effects are spreading rapidly on both sides and at both sites. In response, Craftia begins broadcasting a message through the rift asking for more information

August 24, 2024: Craftia receives a new message explaining that to stop the corruption at the Artifact and the original Artifact area, one of the sites must be contained and one must be destroyed, though the message is cut off before each is specified

August 28, 2024: The Artifact begins to corrupt more heavily, with new small corruption sites appearing in several nations accross the world. Another message is recieved, showing only an ambigous "5 days left". In response, Craftia holds an emergency CWA meeting in Midland, during which the world nations vote to attempt to destroy the Artifact and contain the corruption site in Craftia

August 29, 2024: Work begins in Craftia to build a large seawater containment area for the corruption in Craftia. Astaria begins development of a bomb to use in destroying the Artifact

September 1, 2024: Updated to 1.20.1. The containment area in Craftia is complete. Worldwide corruption begins to recede. Live weapons testing of the Astarian bomb are conducted in the Cadoo Craft wilderness, with great success. Small resistance groups, mainly led by Newport, begin to protest the CWA's vote to destroy the Artifact.  The corruption around the Artifact in Gulan begins to spread rapidly

September 2, 2024: Newport begins to build a protection wall over the Artifact, to no avail. At 6:00 pm, the Astarian "WMD" Bomb is detonated on the Artifact at the Gulanian Anomalous Zone, succesfully destroying the cube and surrounding corruption. For the first time in weeks, the sun rises and weather clears on Cadoo Craft

September 5, 2024: Byukistan, having never officially signed the documents required to join the Western Coalition, defects from the alliance and asks to rejoin United Free Nations of Cadoo. However, the UFNC refuses 

October 27, 2024: Byukistan returns to the Western Coalition and asks to rejoin, but is refused by the alliance. Byukistan later declares its neutrality

October 28, 2024: A contract is signed by the ATLAS Corporation (based in Irixon) and Byukistan, allowing ATLAS Corp. to provide military and industrial aid to Byukistan in exchange for Byukistani workers and access to any anomalies in the country

October 31, 2024: Like Byukistan, Newport and ATLAS Corp sign a contract providing Newport with ATLAS resources in exchange for workers and access to anomalies. The CRC conducts an audit of all international rail lines, finding the service blocked at the Newport-Tressex and Irixon-Karmatria borders. Service is restored later in the night, but Newport and Irixon close their stations, stating their borders would now be shut to non-members of the Western Coalition stating a "tape worm" infection as the reason for border closures

December 26, 2024: Pehtlya forms a new military alliance, Ternorodzy, though it would be the sole member for the time being

December 27, 2024: The UFNC attempts to declare war on the Western Coalition, citing recent misinformation campaigns, invasion threats against Craftia and Karmatria, recent interference with CRC international rail lines, and other various reasons as justifications for the declaration. TWC's response to the declaration is mixed, with Kori being the only Coalition member to fully agree to engage in war. The declaration is postponed indefinitely as both sides hold tense negotiations surrounding terms for a potential armed conflict

December 30, 2024: Negotiations surrounding the potential war between the UFNC and TWC stagnate. The war is cancelled, but tensions between the alliances remain at record highs

January 4, 2025: The Third Cadoo Craft logo contest is announced 

January 8, 2025:  Sukavia announces its exit from the UFNC, citing a lack of proper justification for the alliance's continued existence in light of the events of December. It also signs the Zarbyuk Treaty, forming an alliance with Byukistan (the Collective of Eternal States). Later in the evening, Pehtlya invades Copper Island, Newports, greatly escalating previous territorial disputes between the two nations. The Western Coalition, mainly Irixon, refuses to fully support Newport in war, citing it would stop fighting  if the UFNC joined in Pehtlya's aid- which would violate the Erebor Treaty. This sends TWC into turmoil, with Newport leaving the Coalition and declaring war on Irixon, and a hold being placed on the conflict with Pehtlya

January 9, 2025:  Newport retracts its declaration of war on Irixon. The UFNC announces the end of Operation Athena due to the rejection of war by TWC. Pehtlya and Newport continue to negotiate terms for the war over Copper Island. The Western Coalition dissolves, with Tressex and Kori aiding Newport's defence of Copper Island, and Nixtion and Irixon becoming neutral states. Pehtlya and Fasol sign the Koprojz Treaty, formally ratifying their military alliance with Fasol joining the Ternorodzy Military Faction
