The First Lurian Civil War

Summary

The Lurian Civil War was a conflict fought in South-East Dwilight, between the Kingdom of Pian en Luries, and the rebel Kingdom of Giask and their Fissoan allies. Spanning the better part of three months, it was the single most devastating war fought in the South since the colonization of Dwilight first began. The battles alone claimed the lives of almost 5,000 soldiers on both sides, and civilian casualties from looting and famine are thought to have been as high as 125,000, most of these in the city of Giask which was hit by massive starvation. The conflict started after tensions between Queen Alanna and the duchy of Giask reached a critical point, and the Queen forced the entire duchy into secession to quash a brewing rebellion against her rule. Giask became a realm of its own and war was declared almost immediately. Apart from a few small battles in Pian en Luries, the brunt of the fighting was done on Giasken soil. Pian en Luries succeeded in driving back the rebels one region at a time after winning several decisive battles. The final blow was struck in the Giasken capital, when the Lurian Silver Hammers and Imperial Border Guard launched a surprise amphibious assault on the city while most of the rebel army was away. The battle was won, and the Giasken resistance was broken. Many rebel nobles fled the region and the last pockets of resistance were swiftly mopped up, after which the city of Giask and its outlying provinces were taken back by the Lurians.
