Maravillian Civil War

The Maravillian Civil War is a complex, and on-going conflict within the Kingdom of Maravilla, and is part of a larger conflict in the continent of Sparwood. With multiple sides to the war, the war is severely complex and continues to develop and change.

Background & Causes
The Maravillian Civil War is severely complex, and stems from the failed leadership of the former Union of Kustoco (and later the North Sparwood Federation), led by Elan of Fisk under Greater Plagos. Multiple avenues and decisions led to the creation of the a greater conflict. Currently, the war has had no official battles and has only had several skirmishes.

Auremian Conflict
The Auremian Conflict is currently a cold war with an unofficial ceasefire between the Queendom of Auremia, a province who has rebelled from the Kingdom of Maravilla in hopes of achieving independence, and the Kingdom of Maravilla.

Before the formation of the Kingdom of Auremia, the leader of the Queendom of Auremia (then known as Dominika), Gem Dominika, became inactive for a three week period. To prevent having a foreign neighbor to the east, the Kingdom of Nanois claimed the region as their own. They developed plans for the area once the claim of Epinnet popped. However, Gem Dominika came back. Dominika was not recognized by any major power within Kostuco, and was unknown to the outside world. The Kingdom of Nanois refused to release their claims to the region. After the formation of the Kingdom of Maravilla once the land was given to the new government from Greater Plagos, and lengthy discussions, the Kingdom of Nanois obliged and no longer claiming the region of which Dominika held. The Treaty of Dominikan Recognition was drafted and signed. A week later, the Queendom of Dominika was renamed to the Queendom of Auremia, and Auremia broke the treaty and declared independence. Soon after, the Kingdom of Maravilla declared war on the rebellious province. The Kingdom of Maravilla gathered its leaders and allies to fight against the Auremians. It was sooned learned that the Auremians we're being funded, by an unknown group of individuals. During this time, there were several small skirmishes between Auremians and Nanoisiens/Maravillains along the border and inside of Auremia. The Navy of Nanois, along with the Maravillain military, went into Epinnet twice in show of force.

A week later, the first battle was to take place on August 12th. However, due to the Grand Castell-Llozhar snaking the Almmori claim away, the claim used for war was switch to Ville de Nanois. The battle never continued, after the Queendom of Auremia war-dodged. There was a small skirmish along the Nanoisien-Auremian border, with the Auremians loosing about 4 people. Shortly after, Auremia tried to have the Province of Buzavar secede and join Auremia, however it was quickly halted by Maravilla. Since then, the Auremia Conflict has became a Civil War, with neither party advancing the war. There has been an unofficial ceasefire between the two sides.

Lehmeria Meltdown
Meanwhile, the Province of Lehmeria attempted to secede and join the Kingdom of Pasifa. However, when the Director of Internal Affairs, Asthmatic Manchini-Saintistel, reached out to Lehmspielt, he stated that he believed Maravilla wouldn't defend an attack from Zephryia, lead by an aggressive government, and that Maravilla would then again join Greater Plagos. With some convincing, Lehmspielt halted his secession and remained within Maravilla.

Aquivia Front & Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Intervention
The Aquivia Front, is a front within the Civil War, that erupted when Zephryia and Lehmeria encircled the small claim of Aquivia City. Although it was a former province within Kustoco, it never had respected borders and was agreed that the land was part of Zephryia and Lehmeria. However, Aquivia City was founded by sidecans, although it was very small in size. There was no official declaration until the leader of Zephyria, declared war on Aquivia without permission from the Maravillian federal government.

Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire, also known as the A.W.E., had already wanted to declare on Maravilla due to the suspicion that they were apart of the Neo-Kartek Horde. However, when sidecans went to The Hands for assistance, the A.W.E. saw their opportunity. Their first goal was annex the Zephryian provincial capital, Saint Marksburg. Shortly after the Hands and Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire declared war, they shifted their focus onto Ravensburg, in the province of Zephryia.

Battle of Ravensburg
The Battle of Ravensburg, was the first battle of the war. Scheduled for a time that the opposition knew Maravilla would be unable to attend, Maravilla lost the battle and as a result of the battle, Ravensburg was lost. This demoralized the province of Zephyria, however the rest of Maravilla was unmoved by the loss of the small city. Maravilla expected to lose Ravensburg due to the time of the battle. However, this was only the start. While sidecans rejoiced in victory, he had yet to realize there was more to come.

During this time, the Maravillian Director of Internal Affairs pushed forward a motion within the Council of Maravilla, for them to vote upon the removal of SaturnXP from the Council. In the motion, 4 reasons on why SaturnXP were listed, and they included: Scamming & Frauding, Expansionist & Egotistical Mindset, Causing War within Maravilla without Consulting Los Visionarios, and Breaching the Provincial Charter. Although Los Visionarios were hesitant about going forward with the legislation that passed with a 6-1 vote, Saturn was soon removed from the Council and appointed the Zephyrian Chancellor in his place to represent Zephyria in the Council.

Peace Talks & The Loss of Saint Marksburg.
Soon after the loss of Ravensburg, the General of Maravilla, Jeffeej, soon started diplomatic discussions with The Hands, who during this time, founded the Second Frosterium Empire. However, during peace talks, the provincial capital of Zephyria, Saint Marksburg, was lost to The Hands and Aquivia, although there was no war ticket opened and Maravilla was completely unaware of the attack on the claim. Soon, Aquivia claimed all of Zephyria. Multiple people and nations across Rathnir saw what the Hands were doing, and stood in protest of them supporting squatter claims and causing chaos, in an already chaotic continent. Soon after, peace talks continued between Maravilla and the Hands, however SaturnXP and sidecans continued to bicker.

During this time, Gem Dominika, the Queen of Auremia, asked to continue peace talks. Asthmaticloser, the Director of Internal Affairs gave her two options, either accept the original treaty that was drafted or become a city under the province of Nanois.
