The Sutican War; 1775-1780
Outbreaking in 1775, the Sutican War saw the Holy Orenian Empire declaring war on Sutica after its King, Corwin I had slain a cousin to Peter III, Holy Orenian Emperor. During this time, Jonah along with many of his allies and other members of the Josephite Union resided in the Commonwealth of Kaedrin. Kaedrin - Due to it being the farthest settlement away from military support and lacking crucial defenses saw heavy raiding during the war, thus causing many Kaedrini citizens, Jonah included to lobby for a state-sponsored militia. While the request was almost immediately denied, citizens of Kaedrin still banded together and fought off Hangmen raiders.
While fighting alongside other denizens of Kaedrin against a common foe, it gave Jonah an opportunity to interact with the common folk, thus furthering his political popularity. It was during this period when Jonah befriended the members of the House of Rourke, House of Komnenos and House of Cenobia who went on to form a large portion of his Kaedrin voter block. When Jonah took office as Archchancellor many of his Kaedrini allies would go on to serve under him in different positions across the Empire.
