Pilgrims first landed on Tiān on 3 March 2106. They founded their capital Smithstown, named after their leader Paul Brian Smith, at the sight of their landing. Later they would found Christland, Jaymount, and Toursberg. By the time Chinese Colonists began to arrive on 6 June 2107 the population of the Pilgrims four major settlements and various homesteads totaled a collective population of more than 1 million.

First Skirmishes:
The first official incident of the war came on 10 December 2107 when an armed mob of Chinese villagers we're seen coming toward the Adams Homestead. in response the Adams family, their neighbors, and militiamen from nearby Toursberg set up hasty defenses around the homestead. In the insuring skirmish, the Chinese mob suffered massive casualties and was forced to retreat. 13-year-old Peter Grigori fought as a Toursberg Militiaman in this battle.

The next major skirmish came on 25 December 2107 when an armed mob led by Xia Xinyi attempted to assault Jaymount. The Jaymount Militia led by Cap. Jay Thorp effectively repelled the attack suffering minimal casualties.

Conclusion and Aftermath:
The Tiānses Imperial City was built on the ruins of Smithstown.
