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.

Skirmishes, Battles, and Sieges

  • 23rd of Malin's Welcome, 72 S.A. - Battle of Vuillermoz - Royalist Victory
  • 12th of the First Seed, 72 S.A. - The Standoff at Fort Linnord - Stalemate
  • 5th of the Sun's Smile, 72 S.A. - Battle of Reutov - Royalist Victory
  • 14th of the Sun's Smile, 72 S.A. - Battle for New Providence - Royalist Victory

Timeline

  • Malin's Welcome, 72 S.A.
  • First Seed, 72 S.A.
    • The Principatus of Ebonwood, one of the largest Orenian vassals, declares neutrality in a missive entitled, Proclamation of Extremus. [1]
    • Royalist forces sally out of New Providence to assault Fort Linnord however, they are met with closed gates upon arrival. Arrow fire is exchanged between the Royalists and the Imperialist garrison. No major casualties are sustained by either side, leading this to be known as the Standoff at Fort Linnord.
    • In response to the growing concern of limited manpower, Sir Erik Othaman founds a secondary Imperialist Army known as the "Foreign Legion," its purpose is to allow untrained volunteers to funnel into the Imperialist armed forces.
    • Peter IV marries Lucia d’Azor, daughter of the Duke of Azor in a ceremony held in Vuillermoz. During the wedding a dragon flies overhead, boosting the morale of all Imperialist supporters as a proclaimed sign of God’s blessing.
    • House Ivanovich under its new patriarch the Baron Andrezj Ivanovich declares support for King Frederick of Oren by public decree. [2]
  • The Grand Harvest, 72 S.A.
    • The Hounds of Don declare their allegiance to Peter IV, and join the war on the Imperial side. [3]
    • After being captured by Royalist forces, Joseph d'Azor swears neutrality on behalf of the Duchy of Azor.
    • The House of Alstion pledges its fealty to Peter IV, and thus the Principality of Alstion enters the war.
  • Sun's Smile, 72 S.A.
    • The Duchy of Reutov constructs a new city that shares the same name, and it becomes the capital of the Imperialist cause.
    • Following the completion of Reutov city, Royalist forces storm the city and spark the Battle of Reutov. The Royalists manage to capture Emperor Peter IV and bring him to Providence
    • To avenge the Battle of Reutov and rescue the Emperor, Prince John Novellen personally assembles as large an army as he can muster and attempts to storm New Providence, sparking the Battle for New Providence
    • The Battle for New Providence ends in a Royalist victory, with Emperor Peter IV being slain by Andrezj Petyr Ivanovich following the battle and the Imperialist forces being utterly annihilated.
