The Sutican Civil War is an ongoing internal conflict between the Commonweath of Sutica and the rebellious vassals of Trabzon and Keornhall. The war began when the Rebel faction announced that they would renounce their oaths of fealty and would move to depose the current Queen of Sutica and the Barclay-Alstreim dynasty. In response, Sutica received foreign aid from the nations of Haense and Oren, with Haense beginning military operations in the country almost immediately following the declaration of war.
