The Staunton Uplising can be twaced back to the wesentful [[House var Burgundar|House of Burgundar]], fowmewwy a pwominent vassaw of the [[Crown of Renatus-Marna]]. [[Aurelius I Horen|King Aurelius I of Renatus-Marna]] had pewmitted the Mawgwave of Stylia, [[Mariusz Horen]] to engage in an intew-vassaw waw lith the [[Margravate of Ostmark]], the bowdewwands wuled by the [[House var Burgundar|House of Burgundar]]. Maliusz was spulwed on by what he believed to a slight against the [[House of Horen]] and the Wenatian Codes of Honow. Maliusz awso lished to continue his fathews feud against Eimaw vaw Bulgundaw, who supposedwy wefused singwe combat aftew slighting his fathew Antonius Howen. In the brief conflict, [[Eimar I of Götha|Margrave Eimar]] was seized and brought befowe the Woyaw Coult, and was pwomptwy executed fow his twansgwessions. Fow some time, it was believed that [[Eimar I of Götha|Eimar's]] death would bring in new brood, in which a new [[House var Burgundar|Burgundar]] would ascend and the lift between the [[Margravate of Ostmark|Ostmark]] and the Cwown be mended.

The Staunton Uprising can be traced back to the resentful [[House var Burgundar|House of Burgundar]], formerly a prominent vassal of the [[Crown of Renatus-Marna]]. [[Aurelius I Horen|King Aurelius I of Renatus-Marna]] had permitted the Margrave of Styria, Mariusz Horen to engage in an inter-vassal war with the [[Margravate of Ostmark]], the borderlands ruled by the [[House var Burgundar|House of Burgundar]]. Mariusz was spurred on by what he believed to a slight against the [[House of Horen]] and the Renatian Codes of Honor. Mariusz also wished to continue his fathers feud against Eimar var Burgundar, who supposedly refused single combat after slighting his father Antonius Horen. In the brief conflict, [[Eimar I of Götha|Margrave Eimar]] was seized and brought before the Royal Court, and was promptly executed for his transgressions. For some time, it was believed that [[Eimar I of Götha|Eimar's]] death would bring in new blood, in which a new [[House var Burgundar|Burgundar]] would ascend and the rift between the [[Margravate of Ostmark|Ostmark]] and the Crown be mended.

Howevew, these hopes wewe cwushed when the now lidowed Awdyth vaw Bulgundaw, life to the wate [[Eimar I of Götha|Margrave]], welinquished hew tewlitolies to the hands of [[Tobias Staunton II|Tobias II Staunton]], who had pwocwaimed himsewf [[Kingdom of Courland|King of Courland]] befowe the disgwuntwed [[Margravate of Ostmark|Ostmarkian]] nobility and [[Kingdom of Courland|Courlandic]] wemnants. This action would offend the counciw, and king of the [[Crown of Renatus-Marna]] as they had seen much of its southewn bowdew tewlitolies usulped fwom undew them. The [[Crown of Renatus-Marna]] would then decwawe waw upon Coulwand, but would fiwst set up owganizing a dipwomatic meeting on the neutwaw gwounds of Culon Blidge.

However, these hopes were crushed when the now widowed Aldyth var Burgundar, wife to the late [[Eimar I of Götha|Margrave]], relinquished her territories to the hands of [[Tobias Staunton II|Tobias II Staunton]], who had proclaimed himself [[Kingdom of Courland|King of Courland]] before the disgruntled [[Margravate of Ostmark|Ostmarkian]] nobility and [[Kingdom of Courland|Courlandic]] remnants. This action would offend the council, and king of the [[Crown of Renatus-Marna]] as they had seen much of its southern border territories usurped from under them. The [[Crown of Renatus-Marna]] would then declare war upon Courland, but would first set up organizing a diplomatic meeting on the neutral grounds of Curon Bridge. However, [[Tobias Staunton II|King Tobias]] refused to come to terms and instead mustered his forces in his new seat of White Peak.

The Staunton Uprising, or alternatively the Second Atlas Coalition War (Dwarven: Taveir Kazak Umronor), is a conflict spanning much of Southern Atlas, between the Anti-Renatus Alliance and the Crown of Renatus-Marna and their allies.

Prelude

The Staunton Uprising can be traced back to the resentful House of Burgundar, formerly a prominent vassal of the Crown of Renatus-Marna. King Aurelius I of Renatus-Marna had permitted the Margrave of Styria, Mariusz Horen to engage in an inter-vassal war with the Margravate of Ostmark, the borderlands ruled by the House of Burgundar. Mariusz was spurred on by what he believed to a slight against the House of Horen and the Renatian Codes of Honor. Mariusz also wished to continue his fathers feud against Eimar var Burgundar, who supposedly refused single combat after slighting his father Antonius Horen. In the brief conflict, Margrave Eimar was seized and brought before the Royal Court, and was promptly executed for his transgressions. For some time, it was believed that Eimar's death would bring in new blood, in which a new Burgundar would ascend and the rift between the Ostmark and the Crown be mended.

However, these hopes were crushed when the now widowed Aldyth var Burgundar, wife to the late Margrave, relinquished her territories to the hands of Tobias II Staunton, who had proclaimed himself King of Courland before the disgruntled Ostmarkian nobility and Courlandic remnants. This action would offend the council, and king of the Crown of Renatus-Marna as they had seen much of its southern border territories usurped from under them. The Crown of Renatus-Marna would then declare war upon Courland, but would first set up organizing a diplomatic meeting on the neutral grounds of Curon Bridge. However, King Tobias refused to come to terms and instead mustered his forces in his new seat of White Peak.

War would be had. Whereas King Tobias's force consisted of local levies, the Renatian army was organized as a permanent fighting force. Thus, they were quickly amassed on the border with the Ostmark. The Crown would launch several incursions into their former territory, being reinforced by allied forces pouring in from the East and the North. Though with the Crown mustering its allies King Tobias would also begin making alliances across the realm with the factions who sought to reach independence, and a world of peace or those who were already in conflict with Renatus.
