Brothers' War | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
|
The Brothers' War, also referred to as the Orenian War for Succession or the Novellen Civil War, was a major civil war between the two successors to the Holy Orenian Empire, Prince Peter Augustus and his younger brother Prince Frederick Charles following the loss of the War of Wigs and sudden death of Emperor Philip III and his wife, Empress Anastasia I. The two brothers disagreed on the future path of the Orenian Realm and thus called all Orenian vassals and peers in 72 S.A. to support their claim.
Prelude
In the days following the Empire’s surrender in the War of the Wigs, Emperor Philip III passed away from his wounds in battle. Subsequently, Empress Anastasia I died of grief in the County of Mardon. Following the Empress's death, Prince Frederick marched upon New Providence, taking the city and proclaiming himself Frederick I, King of Oren, and dissolving the Holy Orenian Empire. Having received word of an oncoming attack shortly before Frederick’s arrival, Prince Peter fled Providence to the nearby lands of the Duchy of Reutov. There, he began rallying support for his cause alongside his principal supporters: his uncles, the Duke of Reutov, Ivan Ruthern, and Prince John Casimir.
