First Amarillian Civil War

The Amarillian Civil War is a conflict currently occurring in Eldham, within the Republic of Amarillo. It was started on the 10th of April 2022, when Kawaii Poliorcetes-Kyani started an armed coup in Amarillo and Soronaca called to the Amarillian people in resistance. In this war two sides fight one another, the Military Junta, led by Kawaii Poliorcetes-Kyani, and the Imperilanos, led by Soronaca Aulian. There was also a third faction, the Republicans, who wished to restore the state of Amarillo in it's previous form, but they were quickly absorbed by the Imperilanos.

Context and Beginning of Civil War
"Amarillo lies in a state of political limbo. There is no one whom the people can look for reassurance in, no figure who can be seen as a saviour. Such conditions are the beginning of the end of a nation."

- Lhytt Poliorcetes, to one of his advisors

After a long period of instability following Lhytt Poliorcetes' exit from Presidency, Amarillo looked more divided than ever. The Impeachment of Salazar Van Den Green, Amarillo's first Chancellor was the first step towards instability, followed by the sudden death of President Urubis, leaving the Presidency vacant, which led to a lengthy period of political limbo, until the pre-term elections, when controversial politician McBabwe was elected. He did not last long in the Presidency, however, as he was impeached just 10 days into his term due to a public scandal. This brought Amarillo right where it started before the election. However, due to a new piece of legislation, The Vice President would inherit office until a new round of elections. This happened to be Kawaii Poliorcetes-Kyani, the son of Juniper Kyani and Lhytt Poliorcetes. Kawaii quickly moved to restore order in what he and many others saw as a chaotic situation. Calling an emergency senate meeting, Kawaii declared an end to the Republic of Amarillo, and a temporary Military Junta was established. Those who opposed this Junta were rounded up and arrested, though many evaded the grasp of the Junta, including Soronaca Aulian and many of his allies from Porphyropolis. Both sides consolodated their forces and prepared for war, thus marking the beginning of the Amarillian Civil War.

The battle
Republican forces, led by Soronaca, repelled two waves of enemies, while severely outnumbered, from the city of Verdesburg, a city in Amarillo, just North of Romantello.

Aftermath
Soronaca was proclaimed by his soldiers as Amarillian Imperilan. The Republicans now fight not for the Republic as an institution, but for its ideals of democracy, freedom, and tolerance.

Reluctance
Some former Republicans, deceived by what they perceived as Soronaca taking power as a monarch, created the Republican party. Soronaca's camp was now more commonly known as the Imperilanos.

The Battle of Arak-Kapharat
Soronaca's forces attacked the town of Arak-Kapharat, South-East of their base in Verdesburg. Junta forces prepared a strong force to counter the Imperilanos, and this time they effectively used their manpower advantage and decisively defeated Soronaca's armies. at Arak Kapharat.

Unsigned truce
The following days were more calm. All three sides did some diplomacy, prepared for other fights, but no fighting actually happened in this period. Kawaii Poliorcetes-Kyani was crowned King by the Juntistas, now called Royalists. The Republicans, probably fearing to have to fight on two sides, signed a truce with Soronaca, who accepted even though he despised them, because they were in his opinion not his enemies, but rather potential allies misguided by misconceptions about his new title. Soronaca even called for every Republican to join him in every public address he made, angering some Republican leaders.

"However, the leaders of these "Republican" Forces proposed to do a truce with me until Kawaii is defeated. I wish to underline their courage, coming almost alone in enemy territory, where they could have been killed at anytime. As I do not wish to harm those people, who fight for the same cause than me, but are just blinded by the way they see me, I accepted. I hope it will, eventually, lead them to rejoin my Army fully to fight for the only opposition leader who really stands a chance against the dictatorship."

- Soronaca Aulian, in a public letter addressed to his citizens and to the Republicans
