The Dethroning of Snowgrave is an ongoing conflict on Canvas 93. An alliance of four major factions, The Ember Empire, Neuro-sama's Swarm, osu!, and FURU Pxls, conducted a raid on the "King of Snowgrave" artwork. The attack was organized by the Ember Empire's leader, Selio, and began on the evening of September 16. Volunteers from Flandre and the Rose Khanate came to the defense of the Snowgrave art shortly after.
King of Snowgrave, often shortened to simply "Snowgrave", was designed by Distance for their faction, Edge Gang. It was created in collaboration with Slim Fiddle, who are represented by an enclave within the art piece. Critics of the Snowgrave art claim that it is oversized and looks ugly due to excessive fiddle abuse. These sentiments form the primary motivation for the raid. Pxls culture has long stigmatized fiddled art, which likely contributed to the raiders' support among the wider Pxls community.
Defenders of the art claim that the fiddle abuse is an intentional artistic choice, and thus the art's unpopularity is unwarranted. Slim Fiddle, which specializes in fiddled art as an aesthetic, is not the first group on Pxls to utilize the concept. Lake Fairy Crew made a similar art piece only four canvases prior, and the user Chalkless has also been known to make intentionally fiddled artwork.
Though somewhat slowed by the defenders, the raiders progressed at a steady pace on the first two days of the war. As fighting progressed, unaffiliated volunteers joined both sides of the conflict, but mainly the attackers. By the 18th, defense of Snowgrave had largely collapsed. Rose Khanate placers pulled away from the war to focus on other areas of the canvas, and the other defenders withdrew from the wider Snowgrave art to focus on Slim Fiddle's enclave.
