Mordenz was invaded in the winter of 1794, and resistance soon collapsed once General Pichegru's Army of the North was able to cross the frozen Water Line, completely bypassing many strongpoints established by Welkin and Mordenz. The Mordenzer army began defecting in mass droves, and the military governor, William V, was driven into exile in Welkin. The capital was secured and treaty negotiations immediately opened with Mordenz.
Needing funds, Rosferia exacted some heavy terms on the Mordenzers, in return for letting West Mordenz keep its sovereignty. Mordenz had to pay an indemnity of 100,000,000 guilders to Rosferia, as well as advance a large loan to said nation at a very low interest rate. They would also pay for an army of occpuation of 25,000 to assist in their defense. East Mordenz was to pass to Rosferian control, and the two nations would establish a defensive alliance. Some border fortresses passed to Rosferian possession as well. Mordenz itself was not looted, and left intact.
With Mordenz allying with Rosferia, the 47 ship Mordenzer navy can now be employed against Welkin as well, bringing Rosferia very close to even with Welkin's navy in terms of numbers.
