The Savoyard Civil War, also called the Daelish Uprising, was an internal conflict fought between the Pro-Regency forces under the command of Vasileia Basrid, and the Pro-Lucienist forces under the command of Prince Lucien of Savoy. The conflict was started after the events of the Revolution of San Luciano, in which a primarily Myrinian-Freimarkish crowd overthrew the Regency of Catherine Barclay and declared Lucien, son of Olivier II, Prince of Savoy as the new sovereign. At first, the conflict was relatively low-level with the majority of Savoy supporting the Lucienist cause. However, after an incident between Pro-Lucien forces and the neutral Daelish, the Lordship of Daeland declared support for the Pro-Regency forces and renounced its previously stated neutrality.

Timelapse

• 61st year of the Second Age
  • During a court hosted by Catherine of Savoy, the majority Myrinian-Freimarkish crowd started a mostly bloodless revolution and installed Lucien de Savoie, eldest son of Olivier II, Prince of Savoy, as the sole ruler of Savoy. Catherine is later killed by an assassin within the crowd, and the rest of the Pro-Regency council either swears fealty to Lucien or flees San Luciano. The event is later known as the Revolution of San Luciano.
  • Vasileia Ekaterini, Chancellor of Savoy, declares that she will continue to uphold the Regency and will not recognize the personal rule of Lucien until he is of age. [1].
  • Most members of the Savoyard Council, as well as many of the Principality's vassals, pledge fealty to Lucien I and declare Vasileia a traitor to Savoy [2].
  • The Lordship of Daeland declares neutrality during any internal conflicts, not wishing to involve their people in a civil war [3].
  • Skirmishes occur between Pro-Lucienist forces and Daelish guardsmen, prompting the Daelish to declare a rebellion against Prince Lucien. [4]
