The Rose-Swarm border conflict was a low-intensity conflict between Rose Khanate's background and Neuro-sama's Swarm's lattice. The inciting incident of the conflict was Lana's repeated griefs and inflammatory comments towards the Swarm ally Precious Family Pixelers earlier on the canvas. Small skirmishes began when the two backgrounds met on September 10, and would continue over the following days.
Beginning on the 13th, the skirmishes escalated into a large-scale invasion by Swarm into Rose territory. By the end of the day, the invasion had been repulsed, and the Khanate launched a counter-attack on the Swarm lattice. Swarm raids into Rose territory continued on the 14th and 15th, being repulsed each time. The Khanate responded to the persistent raids first by seizing territory from the Swarm's lattice, then by launching a full counter-invasion. By the morning of the 16th, the Khanate expanded significantly into the Swarm's lattice.
The Khanate received diplomatic support from Brown Pixelstuck, whose leader Onion77 publicly denounced Swarm aggression. Militarily, Rose forces were bolstered by volunteers from the Flandre discord, and an old comrade of Lana appeared to assist the war effort. Eduard, former leader of the Abyss, returned from a four year absence from Pxls to fight on Lana's side once again.
Rose shamans interpreted Eduard's return as a miraculous event, and a sign from the gods as a blessing of the Khanate's war. Feeling emboldened, Rose placers overextended their advance, occupying more territory than they could feasibly hold. At the same time, the Swarm was amassing the largest army yet seen throughout the course of the conflict. By the evening of the 16th, the Rose advance was routed, and the Swarm began storming Rose territory on several fronts.
The Rose Khanate's territory was reduced roughly to its pre-war borders in the first three hours of the Swarm's renewed invasion. Shortly thereafter, volunteers from Precious Family Pixelers arrived to the front lines on the side of the Swarm. These combined developments prompted Lana to reach out directly to the Swarm Council to broker a ceasefire. As she met with dSeta, a ceasefire was officially declared around 8:17 PM, though placing in the conflict continued several hours into the night. Negotiations progressed until a border transition, designed by Lava123Z555, was agreed upon at midnight.
