The Fracturing of Moragul

An ongoing civil war

This article was written for Summer Camp 2024. Therefore it is unpolished and lacking formatting and information. Feel free to comment with any questions or requests for clarification.

Following the eruption of Mount Vatra, the entirety of the leadership of the country of Moragul was wiped out, alongside the capital city of Vos Aren. Instead of going to the aid of the stricken areas of the country, the other major cities in Moragul saw an opportunity to seize the power for themselves. The majority of them closed their gates, turning away or killing refugees, whilst they consolidated their resources and armed forces.
In essence, there are five cities in Moragul who could feasibly seize power, who have sufficiently charismatic and strong leaders to pull it off. Each city is ruled by a council who, until six months ago, were beholden to the Morash royal family, now all missing and presumed dead.
Though there have been few outright physical battles in the conflict so far, two council members have been assassinated, and scathing communications have been sent on all sides. Most major settlements in Moragul have declared their allegiance to one city or another, or are doing their best to keep their heads down out of the line of fire.

The conflict is still ongoing and shows no signs of abating.
