Following the death of Queen Altea IV Bheuren of Aldernord, civil war erupts as three factions back different claimants to the throne: her two daughters Ekaterina and Agnetha, and her sister Beatrix.
The forces of Beatrix Bheuren, one of the three claimants to the throne of Aldernord, seize control of Ysberinge and take her niece Ekaterina, porphyrogenitus daughter of Queen Altea IV Bheuren, into "protective custody". She rules as regent for several months, before the 14-year old Princess Ekaterina dies (allegedly having succumbed to a fever, but most likely murdered on her aunt's orders), before declaring herself Queen Beatrix II Bheuren.

Her claim now broadly unopposed, Beatrix pardons those of Agnetha's supporters who surrender, and makes examples of those who do not.
An assassination attempt against Queen Beatrix II Bheuren is foiled after several elves are caught attempting to break into the royal palace under cover of nightfall. One is captured, and under torture confesses to have been hired by Duchess Relinde Ysern, who had sided with Agnetha Bheuren during the Inheritance War. The Queen has Relinde Ysern arrested and executed for treason, strips all members of House Ysern of their noble rank and title, and seizes the entirety of the Ysberwaal as her personal demesne. Many members of House Ysern are killed in the following weeks, whilst others renounce their loyalty to Aldernord and side with the Balthan Jarls.

Queen Beatrix II Bheuren purges the Grand Council of those she sees as threats to her rule, and drastically reduces its powers.
Balthas, with assistance of exiled members of House Ysern, pushes north along the Alderni coast, conquering the entirety of Kjelslund over four years of campaigning. These four years are said to have been some of the bloodiest of the Long War.
Following a series of purges against those that Queen Beatrix II Bheuren suspected of plotting against her, a number of nobles and peasants in the Scorran Valley rise up in rebellion against Aldernord. The rebellion is brutally quashed, and the Royal Guard orchestrate massacres of all those suspected of supporting the rebels. It is said that the road from Staggia to Mesoscorrana is lined with gallows, and that ashes from the pyres of those slaughtered by the Royal Guard rain down across the entire valley.
Queen Beatrix II Bheuren of Aldernord collapses and dies during a banquet in honour of her daughter Rosemund's eighteenth nameday. A second inheritance war is feared, but does not come to pass, as Rosemund publically acknowledges the porphyrogene claim of her younger sister Mathilda to the throne. Rosemund acts as her sister's regent until she comes of age, before stepping down to allow Queen Mathilda II Bheuren to reign in her own right. Years later on her deathbed, Rosemund admits to having poisoned her mother in order to end her reign of terror.
Queen Mathilda II of Aldernord, through her regent Rosemund, restores the Grand Council to its former power and institutes a number of reforms to the law to appease those who had suffered at the hands of Queen Beatrix II Bheuren.

The Alderni Office of the Queensknife and the Gilded Tower are restored by royal edict.
A powerful spirit, later called the Knagger awakens in the southern parts of the Alterwald, taking the form of a gigantic turtle which is said to have been hundreds of feet in length. It proceeds to make its way out of the forest and down the Alu valley, crashing through the Balthan army encircling Bauslott and partially demolishing the tower itself - allowing the remnants of the Balthan forces to seize control of the tower. It continues its march down the valley, nigh-impervious to all attempts to stop it or get it to change its course, before swimming out to sea in when it reaches the coast. It is said that it is still out there somewhere, occasionally mistaken for an island by sailors blown off course. It leaves behind a great crater that became known as the Pits of Knagger.
A second peace conference is held in Zallenkirk between Aldernord and the Grand Jarldoms of Balthas, but fails to produce an accord.
Widespread flooding near Lak Zallen brings an outbreak of Lyskan Fever. The clerics of Zallenkirk find themselves unaccountably unable to cure the disease, which is said by some to be a punishment from the Daughters of Null for the loss of the Alumark and Kjelslund to the Grand Jarldoms of Balthas. Among those who perish are Queen Mathilda II Bheuren and her daughter, Crown Princess Altea Bheuren.
An individual claiming to be the Hidden Heir presents herself to the Grand Council of Aldernord after the death of Queen Mathilda II Bheuren. Though some find her story persuasive, she is later found to be an imposter, and flees the country before she can be arrested on a charge of treason.
Alderni forces make a sustained attempt to retake Kjelslund from Balthas. After three years of intense fighting, the Balthans retreat to the river Alu.
The Alderni castle of Dyrdenslott falls to Balthan forces, aided by mercenaries from Khut Helev.
Alderni forces led by Queen Helena III Bheuren attempt to outflank a much larger Balthan army on the Lyskan plain, clashing on the north shore of Lak Doal only a few miles from where Queen Baltha Sturmdottir had fallen in battle centuries earlier. Anointed as the champion of all Nine of the Daughters of Null, Queen Helena leads the charge and routs the Balthan army, fighting on despite grievous injury until her victory is assured - at which point she collapses and dies, her wounds and sheer exhaustion finally catching up with her.
Queen Hildegard VI Bheuren of Aldernord, increasingly erratic in her decisions, dismisses Grand-Marshall Arcadio Sarren from his post and issues confusing and contradictory orders to the armies in the Lyskan plain in advance of a battle against an invading Balthan force. The result is nothing short of chaos as the Alderni forces lose all cohesion and are routed by the warriors of Clan Vildstrom. Within weeks, all the ground gained under Helena III is lost as the Balthan forces surge toward the river Lyska, encircling the Alderni army in Kjelslund.
Balthan forces attempt to ford the Lyska to attack Rostog, but are driven back by the regrouping Alderni army.
With Queen Hildegard VI Bheuren's behaviour becoming increasingly erratic, her daughter Mathilda, the Queensknife, attempts to persuade her to abdicate. The queen flies into a rage, and attempts to kill her daughter for the insubordination. The two magicians duel, Mathilda gaining the upper hand and subduing her mother, who dies shortly after, apparently of sheer exhaustion. Mathilda allows the throne to pass to her elder sister, Hildegard VII Bheuren.
Balthan forces push further into Hexenhugel, though they meet stiff resistance from the Alderni - who are aided by the goblins of the Rubezh tribe, allegedly in repayment of an ancient debt to House Bheuren. Nonetheless, they are successful in their advance, eventually pacifying the region as far as the river Tuva.
Researchers from the Gilded Tower and the Collegium Coniuratio experiment with reopening the portal between Ket Azel and Ket Brezi.
Unseasonable weather and a series of poor harvests in western Kataris lead to severe food shortages. Aldernord is severely hit, but manages to avoid outright famine; Balthas and Corlindale are likewise badly affected.
Beset by famine, some of the clans of Balthas fall to infighting, especially in the region of Kjelslund which is particularly badly hit. The once powerful Clan Haraldsson is almost entirely destroyed by the ascendant Clan Hemskaber, who pillage their way across the Lyskan plain to feed their soldiers.
Balthan forces advance through the duchy of Zallen. Considering much of the duchy lost, the Alderni abandon Haraldslott and fortify the river Boya, constructing a line of makeshift forts along the western bank. The Balthans attempt to cross the river, but are forced back, and another stalemate ensues.
Balthan forces loyal to Clan Hexvarg cross the river Tuva, and continue to advance through the Hexenhugel. Their progress is slow, but by 1291AK they have seized Hexenholm and Innikfoss.
The Alderni castle of Klauslott comes under siege from Balthan forces. The Alderni eventually withdraw and fortify the Sternespass.
A woman calling herself Isobella Bheuren travels Aldenord, claiming to be the great-granddaughter of the so-calledHidden Heir, Helena Bheuren. She makes no claim for the throne of Aldenord, but enjoys the hospitality of many of the High Nobility who are discontented with the rule of Mathilda IV Bheuren. It eventually emerges that she is not who she claims to be, and is in fact a runaway serf named Katerin Martensdottir, who had hit upon a scheme to con money from the High Houses. She is arrested on charges of fraud and sedition, and sentenced to death; however she escapes from imprisonment the night before her execution, and is never recaptured.
The Alderni fortress of Sterneslott comes under siege by Balthan forces; it holds out for three months before the attackers breach the walls and seize control of the area.
The recently-crowned Queen Margaretha IV Bheuren of Aldernord launches a last-ditch counterattack on the Balthan armies, sending eight cavalry lances each three-hundred strong through a portal opened between Ket Azel and Ket Brezi. Though the portal collapses before all the soldiers cross it, resulting in the complete loss of two of the eight lances and substantial losses in two others, more than one and a half thousand heavy cavalry emerge from Ket Brezi and launch a surprise attack into the Lyskan Valley. The portal is opened twice more before it becomes too unstable to be operable, and a further twenty thousand soldiers make the crossing, albeit with heavily mounting casualties from the fluctuating passage.
An army of Alderni soldiers, plus thousands of peasant levies, the entire city watch of Schwannenholt, and countless others besides, assembles at the edge of the city. Queen Margaretha IV Bheuren takes personal command of the army, telling the assembled troops that this was the day in which Aldernord lives or dies. She leads the charge against the larger Balthan force, and against all odds is victorious, routing the advancing army and driving them back towards the river Lyska - where the Alderni army that emerged from Ket Brezi is waiting for them, having marched more than two hundred miles over the ten preceding days. More than half the Balthan army surrenders when they realise that they are surrounded; the rest desperately attempt to break through and reach Haraldslott, and are slaughtered in their hundreds as they attempt to cross the Lyska.
Alderni forces drive the Balthans back, retaking much of Zallen and the Lyskan plain.
The Order of the Three Swords is declared non-compliant by the Apertors of the Daughters of Null, and stripped of its clerical backing. It reforms as a secular Free Company.
Alderni forces recapture the Sternespass and attempt to seize control of Rostog; however they are unable to breach the city, and a protracted siege results before the army is eventually redirected toward Kjelslund.
Kjelslund once more plays host to a protracted and bloody conflict as over a course of more than a decade the Alderni armies retake the once-fertile duchy from the Balthan Jarls. Over the course of the campaign numerous villages and small towns are put to the flame, and tens of thousands of civilians are killed or displaced from the land.
Aldernord launches a pincer attack on Alumark, seeking to retake the rebuilt castle of Bauslott; they are forced to retreat as the insurrection in the north progresses.
Following several years of rising discontent and anger against corruption and abuses of power by the low nobility, unrest breaks out in the city of Triponzo. The arrest of several members of the Society of the Flame Rekindled leads to rioting in the streets, and a popular uprising promptly ousts the burghermeisters of the city - denounced as being little more than the puppets of House Riddacci - and installs a provisional government.
Several Alderni infantry cohorts are sent to retake Triponzo from the rebels that have seized control of the city. Expecting little resistance, they are met by a mixture of civilian militias and professional soldiers from free companies, hired by the city's merchants; the defence of the city is orchestrated by the mercenary captain Dracomallion Anaximander, who is proclaimed a hero by the rebels when he leads them to victory against the Alderni.
When a protest against an increase in taxation to pay for the campaign to retake Triponzo is harshly quashed by the forces of House Riddacci, rioting breaks out in Mesoscorrana. After several weeks of intense fighting, the rebels seize control of the city and declare themselves independent from Aldernord.
Grand Jarl Everarda Sidselsdottir leads a counterattack against the Alderni in Alumark and Kjelslund whilst their armies are forced to deal with the Savuran insurgency in the North. Her advance only slows when in 1333 AK Aldernord signs the Ceasefire Treaty with the rebels, freeing up enough forces to cut her advance on Haraldslott.
Three cohorts of sailors and naval infantry from the First and Second Grand Regiments of the Alderni military mutiny against their commanders and join the growing insurrection against Alderni control in the Dragonmarch.
Representatives of the provisional governments of Triponzo, Mesoscorrana and Campocavola meet to discuss their common struggle for freedom against Aldernord. They agree band together under the banner of The League of Savura, and to create an elected senate consisting of representatives from each of the three cities.
Unrest in Staggia grows as the forces of House Riddacci crack down on any dissent against Alderni rule. Emboldened by the mutiny in Campocavola, the city's garrison sides with the rebels and seizes control of the city, declaring their allegiance to The League of Savura.
In the Pangratic Karst, Savuran insurgents defeat an Alderni army thrice their size. Among the dead are said to be Anastasia di Gratiano and her husband Urseo.
The city-state of Vash Hamokar, an alloidial vassal of Aldernord, comes under siege from the forces of the League of Savura. The siege continues until the signing of the Zallenkirk Accord which formally cedes control of the city to Savura, despite the prostestations of the Hamokari.
Following the Alderni defeat at the Battle of the Karst, radical elements among the dragonborn of Clan Kepeshkamolik begin to advocate openly for widespread reforms to the feudal system, including the abolition of serfdom and an increased right to self-determination for the dragonborn clans. When the Alderni crack down on these protests, almost the entire clan takes up arms against House Riddacci, joining The League of Savura and liberating the ancient "City of the Wyrm", Baletto
As the Alderni armies are forced to retreat south of the River Posso, a ten-year ceasefire is agreed with The League of Savura. Aldernord does not give up its claim of sovereignty over the northern provinces, but negotiations begin on granting increased autonomy and other concessions to the northern provinces. These eventually break down in 1335 AK - in part due to the increasingly demagogic rhetoric of Dracomallion Anaximander di Sola di Triponzo - when the Savuran senate unanimously votes to uphold their independence from Aldernord, but to keep to the terms of the ceasefire in the hope of renegotiating a more lasting peace.
For their part in the Rebellion in Vinzaglio the Order of the Three Swords is declared a seditious organisation in Aldernord, with membership punishable by death.
A party of adventurers in the service of Princess Beatrix Bheuren unearth the existence of the Everstorm Covenant, a conspiracy backed by the Primordial Qi'eka'a which seeks to overthrow House Bheuren. In the course of two days they apprehend or kill the majority of its leaders, destroying the organisation before it is able to launch a coup against the Gilded Tower.
