Neo-Carnian Revolution

The Neo-Carnian Revolution was an attempt by a small group of Viesten-backed Carnian nationalists to rebel against the Empire of Yimmu-Audal, destroy the Kingdom of Galadonn, and restore the Caeronate of Carn. Most of the war was fought in Galadonn, however a battle was also fought in the city of Illeviane. Despite initial confidence, poor military performance and a lack of popular support lead to the eventual collapse of the revolution and the re-integration of Carn into Yimmu-Audal as a County in the Kingdom of Galadonn as per the Cornflower Accords.

Context
The roots of the conflict lie in the collapse of the Empire of Astyllea; when the election of Kerplis Elernel had been challenged by a military Junta, the Empire was driven into civil war and, eventually, collapse. As the continent splintered in numerous independent states, a stronghold of the rebellious plotters-the Caeronate of Carn-was thrown into its own bout of turmoil. Torn apart internally by divisive leadership and political instability, the Caeronate collapsed entirely; it was partitioned between several existing states both native and foreign to the region. For most, Carn as a political entity had ceased to exist.

Long after the dust had settled, the region of Aldovir had undergone immense change. The Kingdom of Galadonn, once regarded as an insignificant state in central Aldovir, had rapidly expanded to become one of the major regional powers of the subcontinent. The Lunar City State of Lirgal had likewise expanded to control much of central and western Aldovir, whilst Sironia had come to be a vassal of Viesten, a Knightly Order turned religious state. Both Lirgal and Galadonn had since become states of the Empire of Yimmu-Audal, leaving only Sironia in the hands of a non-Alteniquian power.

In the lands which were once known as Carn, there were sporadic attempts at a political revival of the Caeronate; whether through the briefly lived 'Nord-Carn' or the union of Sironia-Carn, it was clear that there was want for some political continuity of the long defunct state. During of a blossoming period of cultural revival and historical research in Aldovir, Carnians once more began to seek a means of resurrecting the memory of the Caeronate-only to be surprised with a lucrative opportunity.

The Rebellion
Shortly after the ascension of Cassius to the throne of Yimmu-Audal, a small group of Carnian nationalists-many of whom had taken part in the abortive coup d'état in Astyllea-issued a declaraation that they were reforming the Caeronate of Carn as the Neo-Carnian Caeronate.. Their claims were lofty in ambition; the reconquest of all former Carnian territories, the total defeat of the Kingdom of Galadonn, and a demand for unconditional surrender of the Empire of Yimmu-Audal. Almost immediately, several states and nations came out in either opposition or support of the Carnian rebellion; Viesten joined them in their demand of an unconditional surrender of Yimmu-Audal, whilst the various states of Yimmu-Audal and their allies rushed to the defence of the Empire. Numerous towns declared that they had seceded from Galadonn, followed by threats from the Carnian rebels of the complete destruction of both cities and cultures should they be opposed.

Emperor Cassias issued a response of his own, citing his regret at the conflict but his resolve in facing down the rebellion. Refusing the demand to surrender unconditionally, he formally declared war on the Neo-Carnian Caeronate.
