Military action
Civil war erupts withing Vedania.
The counts convene to elect a new king, in what will be called a Moot. No king is elected, the counts begin a free for all campaign of war, many people young and old are forced to fight, some even had the plague. The Inquisition lays low. This is a chaotic time of Vedania, and so history is barely recorded, for all resources were put into the war. The Counts marched their plague ridden peasant armies to war, a slaughtering free for all on a dozen fronts. By the end of the war, no victor is determined, and peace was a result. It was officially decreed that every city will become independent city states. By the end of the conflict, the plague had subsided, most likely due to the casualties. Not before a hundred thousand had succumbed to it and the battles.
