Niueyjara Civil War

Background

Thousands of years before the Grand Calming many of the human clans of Niueyjar were stuck in a constant state of war. The fighting ended when the reclusive Dvergur sent out a small number of their elder mages to end the ceaseless conflict. The subjugation was a bloody and brutal affair. Still, eventually, the Dvergur were victorious crowned one of their own as Emperor and founded Clan Kalifen who ruled the island unopposed until shortly after the Grand Caling. By this point, several of the clans had come to believe that the Dvergur blood in the royal family was diluted enough that they had a chance at self-rule.

How the war went

Beginings

The war began on 14-3 1 PC when the Emperor Olaf Fredradaughter and their family were assassinated by the Reformers, leaving the throne empty and with no clear line of succession. Vidar Astridson, de facto leader of the Traditionalists, Niueyjar and Niueyjar's representative on the Inter-governmental Radio System attempted to hide the war from the outside world by claiming that Niueyjar was just experiencing protests. The Nation of Niueyjar shut down contact with the outside world on 1-5 1 PC and re-opened it on 5-2 2 PC with the announcement that they had established of the Niueyjara Royal Navy. The Nation of Niueyjar shut down all railways on 7-4 2 PC to prevent their use by the Reformers.

On 6-10 2 PC, Clan Plogen changed allegiance to the Traditionalists after being conquered by Clan Erak. The Traditionalists defeated Clan Hoydan on 13-11 2 PC who then joined the Traditionalists.

Akarian-Utlian intervention

On 9-12 2 PC the Akarian-Utlian Alliance began supply the Reformers with military equipment following a break down in Akaria–Niueyjar and Niueyjar–Utlia relations.
