While talks were occurring, a skirmish took place outside of Volgograd, but little happened to either side. By the end of the day, Norway, Qin, and Yue had signed a white peace agreement with the Global Powers, Canadian Union, Uesugi, and the UAS [sic]. Despite the official white peace, Norway saw the agreement as a victory as they claimed to have gained over 40 sets of god armor within combat compared to a loss of around 10. The Anti-Norwegian coalition, however, denied this claim and emphasized Norway's avoidance of combat in their civilian bombings. Despite these minor arguments, however, the conflict had officially concluded, and only seven days from the initial declaration of war, leading to the moniker "Seven Days' War". | While talks were occurring, a skirmish took place outside of Volgograd, but little happened to either side.

On September 29th, a Norwegian-led force undertook a series of bombings aimed at Fengtian, the capital of Qing (a member of the Entente). Using rudimentary TNT cannons, the assailants launched TNT from the edge of claims into the heart of the city. The bombings, which were heavily reminiscent of the Black Saturday bombings, left a large portion of the city's main pagoda damaged and was one of the first major offensives of the newly resumed war. | On September 29th, a Norwegian-led force undertook a series of bombings aimed at Fengtian, the capital of Qing (a member of the Entente).

'''The Triumvirate Enters the War''' | |||
On October 8th, a prominent member of the nation of Niger known as Skater2323 was banned permanently from the server due to flyhacking. The moderator who banned Skater, YellowVictini, had previously been a part of the Triumvirate nation of Byzantium. Because of this connection, Norway accused YellowVictini of being biased in his decision to ban Skater and suggested that he was using his power as a moderator to undermine the Regional Powers' war efforts. | |||
Norway also accused the Triumvirate of using the nation of Germany as a puppet state, due to some members of Germany having previously been a part of Triumvirate nations in France and Spain, and admonished the Triumvirate for using Germany to undermine the stability of their neutral ally German_Empire. | |||
Because of these incidents, the Regional Powers held a vote on whether or not to declare war on the Triumvirate. On October 10th 2019, the vote passed 13-0 and the Regional Powers officially declared war on the Triumvirate. The decision to declare war on the Triumvirate brought over 20 new nations into the conflict, most notably France, Spain, and Byzantium. | |||
