The [[Creeperian Crusade]] began on 8 February 1231 when the emir of the [[Emirate of Rabadsun]], Alfawnasu III , declared independence for his domain, establishing the [[Creeperopolis|Kingdom of Creeperopolis]]. Alfawnasu III, now known as King [[Alfonso I of Creeperopolis|Alfonso I]], declared independence following the conclusion of the [[Second Council of Rabadsun]] in reaction to the ''[[One-Religion Decree]]'' which was issued by the Deltinian Caliph, [[Suleiman III of Deltino|Suleiman III]]. During Alfonso I's reign, Creeperopolis fought several wars against the [[Caliphate of Deltino]] to secure its existence and independence.
 +
 +
His successors, [[Alfonso II of Creeperopolis|Alfonso II]], [[Salvador I of Creeperopolis|Salvador I]], and [[Manuel I of Creeperopolis|Manuel I]], continued fighting against the Deltinians. Creeperopolis was supported by the [[Kingdom of Castilliano]], and later, the [[Kingdom of Honduras]], a kingdom established after a Creeperian-supported rebellion against the Deltinians.

Manuel I died on 13 January 1301 and was succeeded by his son, [[Miguel I of Creeperopolis|Miguel I]]. Despite only being twelve years old at the time he ascended the [[Monarchy of Creeperopolis|throne]], Miguel I ordered an immediate invasion of Deltino, however, [[Pedro Candia Bolero]], his regent, prevented him from beginning a war with Deltino. In 1304, when Miguel I was sixteen years old and was given full powers as king, he removed Candia Bolero as ''[[Caudillo]]'', the leader of the [[Creeperian Armed Forces|Creeperian military]], and replaced him with [[Hernán Monroy Pizarro]], and the two began to formulate plans for an invasion of Deltino.
 +
 +
In the ensuing war waged by Miguel I, known as the [[First War of Miguel I]], Miguel I and Monroy Pizarro destroyed several large armies sent by Caliph [[Selim V of Deltino|Selim V]] to quickly put an end to the Creeperian invasion. After several crushing Creeperian victories at [[Battle of Sahalayn|Sahalayn]], [[Second Battle of Derna|Derna]], [[Battle of Sirte|Sirte]], [[Miracle of Ourique|Ourique]], [[Siege of Buraihran|Buraihran]], [[Siege of Idku (1309–11)|Idku]], [[Battle of Zliten|Zliten]], [[Battle of Damanhur|Damanhur]], and [[Battle of Janzour|Janzour]], the Creeperian army was quickly approaching [[Almadinat Almuqadasa]], the capital city of Deltino. In October 1311, Selim V and [[Yusuf al-Dhahir]] met with Miguel I and pleaded for a peace treaty, which Miguel I accepted. The [[Treaty of Najallah]] ended Miguel I's first war against Deltino in a decisive Creeperian victory. As a part of the treaty, Deltino ceded all lands east of the [[San Miguel River]] which was north of the city of [[La'Unión, La'Unión|Alshaati Alshamaliu]] (modern day La'Unión) and all lands north of the [[Zapatista River]] which was east of the [[San Luísian Mountain Range]].

The [[Caliphate of Deltino]] (734AD–1326) had difficulties establishing full control over Creeperopolis as the Creeperian inhabitants were overwhelmingly [[Creeperian Catholic Church|Creeperian Catholic]] and refused to be subjects of the Islamic caliphate following the [[Deltinian-Creeperian War]] fro 744AD to 745AD. The Creeperian inhabitants also wished for their kingdom to continue, free from Deltinian control. As soon as the [[Old Kingdom of Creeperopolis|Old Kingdom]] fell, the [[Deltinians]] established the [[Emirate of Rabadsun]] as a Creeperian client state with [[Rudulifu I of Rabadsun|Rodolfo I]] as the Emir of the emirate to appease the [[Creeperans]].

In 1231, Caliph [[Suleiman II of Deltino|Suleiman II]] died and was succeeded by his son, [[Suleiman III of Deltino|Suleiman III]]. Suleiman III reinstated laws revoked by his predecessors which allowed the practicing of any religion other than [[Deltinian Islam]] in 1231. He replaced the laws he revoked with the ''[[One-Religion Decree]]'', a decree which mandated that only [[Deltinian Islam]] could be legally practiced. This was met by resistance the Creeperian Catholics of Rabadsun. Then Emir [[Alfonso I of Creeperopolis|Alfawnasu III]] used the basis of the ''One-Religion Decree'' to [[Creeperian Declaration of Independence|declare independence]] for the Emirate of Rabadsun as an independent Catholic Creeperian kingdom, called the [[Creeperopolis|Kingdom of Creeperopolis]], on 8 February 1231.

From 1231 to 1301, the Creeperans were lead by Alfonso I (1231–1264), [[Alfonso II of Creeperopolis|Alfonso II]] (1264–1273), [[Salvador I of Creeperopolis|Salvador I]] (1273–1285), and [[Manuel I of Creeperopolis|Manuel I]] (1285–1301). With the death of Manuel I, his son, [[Miguel I of Creeperopolis|Miguel I]] became [[List of Creeperian Monarchs|King of Creeperopolis]] and continued the crusade against the [[Deltinians]]. He immediately began to rally up an army to fight against the Deltinians who he said, "...[have] been a thorn in the side of the Holy Creeperian nation for too long." He began his campaign, known as the [[First War of Miguel I]], in 1305 and pushed west into Deltinian territory. From 1305 to 1313, he continually pushed hard into northern Deltino. In 1317, Pope [[Juan XXII of Creeperopolis|Juan XXII]] consecrated three archdiocese in the territory Miguel I had conquered: the [[Archdiocese of Salvador]], which included the [[First State of the Church|State of the Church]], the [[Archdiocese of San Romero]], and the [[Archdiocese of San Miguel]].

Miguel I launched a [[Second War of Miguel I|second war]] in 1321 with the end goal of advancing on [[Almadinat Almuqadasa]], the capital of the Caliphate of Deltino, and effectively annex the entire caliphate. Miguel I pushed south from what is present-day [[La'Libertad del Norte]] into present-day [[La'Unión (department)|La'Unión]]. He and his army pushed to Almadinat Almuqadasa, the capital city of Deltino. His army set camp outside the city walls of Almadinat Almuqadasa on 1 September 1324, beginning the siege.

The caliph of Deltino at the time, [[Selim VI of Deltino|Selim VI]], called for reinforcements from the southern parts of his caliphate to fight against the Creeperans and force them to flee. Deltinian reinforcements arrived at the neighboring village of [[Altal]] and lured the Creeperans to the village. The Creeperans, however, defeated the Deltinian reinforcements in the [[Battle of Altal]] and forced the reinforcements to flee, abandoning the garrison of Almadinat Almuqadasa.

Although the city bordered Buhayrat Alrasul ("Lake of the Prophet", present-day [[Lake San Salvador]]) which he and the inhabitants of the city could escape from, Selim VI declared that a true Muslim does not retreat and he stated that he will defend the city with his life. He called on all inhabitants of the city to resist the Creeperans and to fight if needed.

The goal of the Creeperans was to wait outside the city walls and starve the inhabitants of the city into capitulation. The Creeperans also launched 4 ships to blockade the city's port on the lake to prevent food from entering by the lake. The plan was thwarted however when the Deltinian fleet of 15 ships destroyed the Creeperian ships in the [[First Battle of Buhayrat Alrasul]] on 1 October 1324. The Deltinian control of the lake ensured that the city would remain fed and would be able to continue the resist the siege indefinately.

The Creeperans knew that they had to overpower the Deltinian ships and cut the Deltinian lake supply line in order to soften the city's defenses and starve the people into submission. Throughout 1325, the Creeperans constructed 45 ships in the [[Bay of Salvador]] and sailed them into the Bay of La'Libertad (called "[[Bay of Adolfosburg]]" today) and prepared to drag the ships across the continent to the shores of Buhayrat Alrasul. The ships were completed in April 1325 and sailed to La'Libertad. From April 1325 to January 1326, the Creeperans dragged all 45 ships to just north of Almadinat Almuqadasa where the ships were launched and ready to fight and destroy the Deltinian ships.

Selim VI was captured by Creeperian soldiers, tortured, and burnt at the stake, effectively ending the Caliphate of Deltino. By the time the massacre of the city was over, an estimated 200,000 lay dead in the streets. The southern reaches of the Caliphate heard the news and three Emirates broke away and declared their independence from the Caliphate of Deltino: the [[Jakiz (Emirate)|Emirate of Jakiz]], the [[Helam (Emirate)|Emirate of Helam]], and the [[Abdan (Emirate)|Emirate of Abdan]]. Their Emirs, [[Ohmad I of Jakiz|Ohmad I]], [[Mehmed I of Helam|Mehmed I]], and [[Orhan I of Abdan|Orhan I]], each declared jihad on Creeperopolis and Miguel I.

The Siege of Almadinat Almuqadasa (Creeperian Spanish: Ասեդիո դե Ալմադինատ Ալմփքադասա,[note 1] Deltinian Arabic: حصار المدينة المقدسة; transliterated as: hisar almadinat almuqadasa) was a major siege of the Creeperian Crusade which took place from September 1324 until June 1326. The siege, considered to be the most important of the Creeperian Crusade, was conducted by Creeperian King Miguel I against Deltinian Caliph Selim VI.

Almadinat Almuqadasa was the capital city of the Caliphate of Deltino and had never before come under a foreign attack in its history. Creeperian forces besieged the city for nearly two years, engaging in several battles with the Deltinians around the city in an attempt to further strengthen each other's position during the siege. After a Creeperian naval victory against the Deltinians in March 1326, the city was unable to supply itself from Buhayrat Alrasul and food began to run out. Despite the calls for reinforcements throughout the siege, the reinforcements were either repelled by the Creeperans or refused to come to the caliph's assistance.

On 13 June 1326, the Creeperans broke through the walls of the city and initiated a massacre of its people. The indiscriminate killings by the Creeperans, known as the Almadinat Almuqadasa massacre, killed an estimated 215,000 people, nearly the entire population of the city. During the massacre, Selim VI was executed, along with several other senior Deltinian administrators and military commanders. Due to the Deltinian belief and tradition that the city was founded on the direct instructions of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad Himself and established by Caliph Abdul Humaidaan V in June 875AD, the city was set on fire and destroyed in its entirety by the Creeperans. The Great Mosque of Almadinat Almuqadasa was vandalized with images of Muhammad being etched into the mosque's walls as a direct insult to the Islamic tradition of avoiding depictions of Muhammad, and the mosque was eventually demolished. The Cathedral of La'Santa Victoria was eventually built on top of the ruins of the mosque.

The destruction of the city brought an end to the centuries-long Caliphate of Deltino, fracturing the entity it into three rump states: the Emirates of Abdan, Helam, and Jakiz, each proclaimed by mutinous military commanders of the caliphate. The fall of the city allowed the Kingdom of Creeperopolis to expand its territory south, covering much of central Sur, and led to the domination of Creeperian Catholicism in the Sur. The Creeperian city of La'Victoria was established by Miguel I on 14 June 1326 on top of the ruins of Almadinat Almuqadasa, which remains mostly buried under La'Victoria today. That same day, Miguel I issued the Decree of La'Victoria, which outlawed the practicing of Deltinian Islam within Creeperopolis and beginning the First Great Persecution.

Background

Crusade before Miguel I

The Creeperian Crusade began on 8 February 1231 when the emir of the Emirate of Rabadsun, Alfawnasu III , declared independence for his domain, establishing the Kingdom of Creeperopolis. Alfawnasu III, now known as King Alfonso I, declared independence following the conclusion of the Second Council of Rabadsun in reaction to the One-Religion Decree which was issued by the Deltinian Caliph, Suleiman III. During Alfonso I's reign, Creeperopolis fought several wars against the Caliphate of Deltino to secure its existence and independence.

His successors, Alfonso II, Salvador I, and Manuel I, continued fighting against the Deltinians. Creeperopolis was supported by the Kingdom of Castilliano, and later, the Kingdom of Honduras, a kingdom established after a Creeperian-supported rebellion against the Deltinians.

Miguel I's First War

Main article: First War of Miguel I
A painting depicting Selim V meeting with Miguel I before the Treaty of Najallah, by José Leoz Mori, 1850.

Manuel I died on 13 January 1301 and was succeeded by his son, Miguel I. Despite only being twelve years old at the time he ascended the throne, Miguel I ordered an immediate invasion of Deltino, however, Pedro Candia Bolero, his regent, prevented him from beginning a war with Deltino. In 1304, when Miguel I was sixteen years old and was given full powers as king, he removed Candia Bolero as Caudillo, the leader of the Creeperian military, and replaced him with Hernán Monroy Pizarro, and the two began to formulate plans for an invasion of Deltino.

In the ensuing war waged by Miguel I, known as the First War of Miguel I, Miguel I and Monroy Pizarro destroyed several large armies sent by Caliph Selim V to quickly put an end to the Creeperian invasion. After several crushing Creeperian victories at Sahalayn, Derna, Sirte, Ourique, Buraihran, Idku, Zliten, Damanhur, and Janzour, the Creeperian army was quickly approaching Almadinat Almuqadasa, the capital city of Deltino. In October 1311, Selim V and Yusuf al-Dhahir met with Miguel I and pleaded for a peace treaty, which Miguel I accepted. The Treaty of Najallah ended Miguel I's first war against Deltino in a decisive Creeperian victory. As a part of the treaty, Deltino ceded all lands east of the San Miguel River which was north of the city of Alshaati Alshamaliu (modern day La'Unión) and all lands north of the Zapatista River which was east of the San Luísian Mountain Range.

Caliphate of Deltino

The Caliphate of Deltino held a defensive position within the walls of Almadinat Almuqadasa in preparation for the Creeperian arrival. The Deltinians additionally had reinforcements south of the city, ready to attack the Creeperans during the siege. The Deltinians main source of supplies and resources was naval shipments from Buhayrat Alrasul, the second largest lake in the world. Modern sources estimate the size of the Deltinian army to be between 15,000 and 18,000 soldiers, while medieval Creeperian sources claim that the Deltinians wielded an unsustainable 3.4 million soldiers. The city itself had a population of around 225,000 people, excluding soldiers, by 1324, with an influx of possibly tens of thousands during the siege of Deltinians seeking refuge from the Creeperans.

The commanders of the Caliphate of Deltino include:

Kingdom of Creeperopolis

Painting of King Miguel I.

The Kingdom of Creeperopolis prepared for a prolonged siege against the city of Almadinat Almuqadasa. Unlike the Deltinians, the Creeperans lacked any sort of reinforcement to assist them in the event of an overwhelming Deltinian attack. The Creeperans relied on scavenging the countryside and long-distance land connections for supplies and resources, as well as the good will of the locals. Modern sources estimate the size of the Creeperian army to be between 11,000 and 12,500 soldiers, while medieval Creeperian claimed that the Creeperans wielded a slightly larger force of 17,000 soldiers.

The commanders of the Kingdom of Creeperopolis include:

The Creeperans were also supported by approximately 1,000 soldiers from Honduras. The army was commanded by Ieltxu II, the king of Honduras, and Vitruvio of Gojeneche, his son and heir.
