Gracian Civil War

The Conflict

Prelude

After The Catalyst, the world of Unity was left in chaos. Though unlike other realms, Gracia was able to keep their godly ruler Jorden the Immovable around, he still wasn't that present in their politics. These conditions left open some positions for those more malicious than others to achieve. The period between the Catalyst in 953 and before the civil war in 1061 saw a vampiress rise to power in the Barony of Hurstwick, a gnome crime lord usurp power in the Lordship of Daggerfirth and what many humans considered the biggest disgrace, a mutant goblin put in power in County of Sprucehide. On top of this, the Lordship of Elderrim, Duchy of Easterbane, and Barony of Auratia had all lost territory and power due to these new powers on the table. This boiled to a point where an alliance between the three (one royal marriage one military alliance) had formed and considered themselves powerful enough to take the so-called Coalition of Righteousness on, forming the Marches of Holiness to challenge them. However this prompted the power in the North, the Lordship of Birchwood, to join on the side of the Coalition, tipping the scales of power for the looming civil war...
