Third Andorn Crisis

Not to be confused with the Andorn Crisis, which took place in April 2021 or with the Second Andorn Crisis, which took place in August 2021, with the Fourth Andorn Crisis, which took place in February 2022, with the Fifth Andorn Crisis, which took place in February 2022, or with the Sixth Andorn Crisis, which took place in February 2022.

The 3rd Andorn Crisis, also known as the Third Andorn Crisis, was a conflict that took place between the Third Empire of Andorn and the Military Order of Black Andorn for the control of the state of Andorn in Syltör.

Oranje Takes Control of Andorn
Following Crezyman's abdication of Autarch in Bardonia during December 2021, Lucius Von Savras was elevated to Sole Autarch in the Empire of Bardonia. Due to this, Lucius Von Savras transferred the control of Andorn within Bardonia to his daughter Oranje Von Savras.

Unpopular Von Savras Leadership in Bardonia
While Lucius Von Savras was a long time Bardonian Autarch, many viewed his leadership as inadequate for leading the Empire of Bardonia and preferred another Autarch or leader to take control. In Andorn, the transfer of power to Oranje Von Savras was equally controversial with many viewing Oranje as a foreigner and many Andornians disliked that she was chosen over other long-time Andorn government officials.

Rise of the Military Order of Black Andorn
Including the rising unpopularity of the Von Savras leadership, the recent Annover-Casul War in January 2022, which led to an Annover victory emboldened the old noble family of Annover, led by Bingo Bon Annover, to have a resurgence in Andorn. This rise allowed Annover to secure land for its own province and the future staging ground for its future coup.

Planned Andorn Coronation
With the transfer of Kaisership to Oranje, a coronation was planned on February 6th, 2022. This coronation was announced about a week in advance allowing Black Andorn to prepare to sabotage the event to remove Oranje from Kaisership.

Coronation Attacked
On the day of the coronation, the Military Order of Black Andorn along with the support of Hands interrupted the coronation preparations seizing the Andorn regional capital of Savras.

Black Andorn Proclamation and Coup
With the capital secured, Bingo Bon Annover proclaimed to be the new Kaiser of Andorn and the deposition of Oranje Von Savras. Due to the suddenness of the coup, the Third Empire of Andorn with its divided state could not adequately raise a force to combat the insurgents in Savras.

Debatable End of Crisis
It is debated whether the crisis is still going on to this day because any following Andorn state has never reunited all lost land from this crisis. Some debate that the crisis ended with the foundation of the successor Andron Confederation while others argue that the crisis encompasses all events (including the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Andorn Crisis) until the reformation of Andorn in August 2023.

Aftermath
The Empire of Askonia would grow into a massive regional power following the crisis with its large formidable Goblin Army comparable and even debated to supersede the Third Empire of Andorn. The Domain of Wivamovia would be the first independent Wivamovian state in the history of Syltor while continuing a persistence for the control of the Andorn Confederation city of Nothrook nearly sparking a war and causing the Nothrook dispute. The newly formed Andorn Confederation would suffer from the instability from the crisis leading to the multiple Andorn crisis' in the following weeks after.
