The Santegian Rebellion was a war that lasted from 1616 to 1619 in the continent of Asul. In the beginning it involved the Principality of Evreux and two noble Houses that opposed its rule: House de Savin and House de Castro. Following the declaration of war, a military alliance was formed between the Kingdom of Santegia (formerly the Duchy of Savinia and Barony of Castrov) and majority of the world’s nations; collectively known as the Second Axionite Coalition. Principality of Evreux was supported by the Holy Empire of Oren.

In 1618, Holy Empire of Oren began their offensive on the Duchy of Savinia in a small town of Castell, where the Coalition was victorious. Small skirmishes occured in the proximity of both capitals for a year before the Coalition launched a siege to the Duchy of Trier in 1619.

The war concluded in a peace treaty signed following the Siege of Trier. Holy Empire of Oren issued a formal apology that was acknowledged by all military leaders of the Coalition.

The Rebellion altered political domains in Asul. Kingdom of Santegia increased their land to cover Duchy of Trier and the former capital Aleksandria and strengthened their status in the world, removing Imperial hold in the continent. Principality of Evreux was dissolved and their ruling noble House of Halcourt established themselves in the Crowlands in Tahn.

Prelude

The beginning of the conflict was overshadowed by a crossfire between House de Castro and House Baden that had lasted for years before the war began. As Courland dissolved into Principality of Evreux in 1615, a year after Holy Empire of Oren was reformed, many noble Houses were left with uncertainty as their loyalty was put into a test. Newly founded Principality of Evreux expected noble Houses within its lands to vassalize under it, while the Duchy of Savinia desired for independence.

Abdes de Savin and Elias de Castro were summoned to the palace of Aleksandria to discuss of their vassalization to Evreux. A heated argument took place that resulted to blades being drawn. This incident then led to the death of many Evreuxian guards as well as Frederick Staunton-Baden. De Savins and de Castros attempted to coup the city, although abandoning said endeavour in the process

Following the attempt of a coup, Principality of Evreux denounced both Houses for rebellious actions, and thus the Emperor of Oren, John V, graciously offered them to relinquish their titles within Evreux and leave their land before Imperial army would arrive to deal with the matter. As de Savin and de Castro declined this offer, a stage for a war was set.
