Immediately upon discovery, Bobbobster DMed the president, EmpressCorgo, demanding to know why his town was raided by Cascadians. She responded soon after, stating she'd look into it, and immediately forgot about it, as the entire nation was preoccupied with the political chaos that had been brewing. | |||
Within just a couple days, news spread of the robbery, with Styria declaring war on Cascadia on October 18. Despite this, their leader, Bobbobster, called for diplomatic talks, which occurred immediately afterward. Throughout the same day, multiple other nations would join in, denouncing or declaring war on Cascadia. Milgorn123, Cascadia's then Secretary of State, published a statement saying that Cascadia did not authorize the robbery, that they were in diplomatic talks with Styria concerning the robbery, and that the perpetrators were never in the Cascadian government. The claim that the perpetrators were never in the government was false, however it was true that none of them were in the government by this point, as 3llies was expelled from the house for the incident. Regardless, this would be called out by Somalia under 8set in their denouncement statement, made just a couple hours later. Over the next few hours, Russian Dominion, Maranhao, and Carpathia joined in on the denouncement, with Yakutia declaring war as well. The final event on October 18 was the Rocky Mountain Brotherhood's declaration of war on Cascadia over the robbery, with a long announcement written by it's leader, REALlimpopo. It accused Cascadia itself of committing the robbery and not just a few citizens, claiming Beamz30, then Vice President, was involved in the robbery, though this was not true. He also called out the false claim Milgorn made in his announcement, and complained about the embargo Cascadia and her ally [[Aurora:Brazil|Brazil]] made against his nation earlier due to the fact that ironically, he had stolen the nation he then owned from Cascadia just two months before. | |||

A few days later, on October 23, the Spanish Empire declared war on Cascadia for not recovering the stolen items fast enough, and included a list of items that Bobbobster, owner of Styria, still wanted returned. Veracruz and Iowa joined in with their own war declarations just a few minutes later. Then Somalia upgraded their denouncement to a war declaration, claiming Cascadia refused to take responsibility, and unlike Spain, claimed Cascadia outright refused to recover stolen items, which was erroneous. They then made a quip claiming the tied election between Flatvent and EmpressCorgo just the night before was rigged, which would later become a common claim during the Wagner War. Finally, on October 29, the Rus Empire, then the largest meganation on the server sent their own denouncement, supporting Spain, claiming Cascadia was delaying a solution. | A few days later, on October 23, the Spanish Empire declared war on Cascadia for not recovering the stolen items fast enough, and included a list of items that Bobbobster, owner of Styria, still wanted returned.

Soon after, the town of Wien and it's nation was given to bubuxcx, who renamed the nation to Austria, and would later merge it with Hungary to create [[Austria-Hungary]]. On November 26, EmpressCorgo gave a double chest of mending to the town of Wien, which was taken mostly from the supply of the nation shop. Finally, on January 17, 2024, Corgo gave the requested stack of beacons to bubu, and the conflict was considered resolved. Bubu personally gifted an enchanted golden apple as thanks to Corgo herself. | |||

Most of the war declarations and denunciations never amounted to anything, as no actual military action occurred. After the heat surrounding the robbery had died down, the scandal was mostly used by those who already hated Cascadia beforehand, such as during the Wagner War to brand Cascadia as a nation of scammers despite the recovery effort. The town the library was in, Wien, became part of Austria-Hungary, then switching hands over time. Eventually, the town was overclaimed by towns from the Netherlands, and the library currently stands in the town of Bratislava, untouched with empty shelves. Today, the library has been forgotten by most, as most players joined the server long after it closed down anyway. The ones who do remember it, remember the library specifically for the robbery and it's fallout, leaving a legacy as one of the stranger and more unique events in Aurora's history. | Most of the war declarations and denunciations never amounted to anything, as no actual military action occurred.
