The Novellen Civil War, also referred to as the Orenian Civil War and The Brother's War, is a major internal conflict between Peter Augustus Novellen, and Frederick Charles Novellen. Due to Prince Peter and Prince Frederick both being sons of the deceased Philip III, Holy Orenian Emperor, the War earned its nickname as The Brother's War. The Conflict was sparked when both Emperor Philip III and Empress Anastasia I both mysteriously passed away immediately following the conclusion of the War of the Wigs. Such an unexpected passing of both the ruling Monarchs of the Empire threw the realm into chaos, with two factions forming almost immediately.
