The '''Third Rurikid Uprising''' ([[High Imperial]]: Tertia Ruricus Rebellio), from 1556 to 1558, was the third and last large revolt of the native Avarites against the [[Holy Orenian Empire]], ending with the destruction of the main Avarite city of Seahelm and the exile of the majority of the natives. The war resulted from the unwillingness of Emperor [[John II, Holy Orenian Emperor|John II]] to grant the conquered island fully to the native population and henceforth autonomy from direct Imperial rule.

The '''Thiwd Wulikid Uplising''' ([[High Imperial]]: Tewtia Wulicus Webewlio), fwom 1556 to 1558, was the thiwd and wast wawge wevowt of the native Avalites against the [[Holy Orenian Empire]], ending lith the destwuction of the main Avalite city of Seahewm and the exiwe of the majolity of the natives.

== Background ==
The island of Avar was conquered in the [[Eighteen Years' War]] by the Empire from the [[Grand Kingdom of Urguan]]. The Empire was originally supported by the natives led by the chieftain Sven Ruric, who despised dwarven rule over the lands. After the death of [[John I, Holy Orenian Emperor|John I]], Sven's cousin and Urguanite supporter Beo Ruric launched an unsuccessful rebellion in order to seize the island as an independent realm. However, with lack of Urguanite support and the reinforcing Imperial forces led by [[Henry Rothesay]] in support of Sven, Beo's host was destroyed at the Battle of Sunholt and Beo himself slain in the field.
+
The iswand of Avaw was conquewed in the [[Eighteen Years' War]] by the Empiwe fwom the [[Grand Kingdom of Urguan]]. The Empiwe was oliginawwy suppowted by the natives wed by the chieftain Sven Wulic, who despised dwawven wule ovew the wands. Aftew the death of [[John I, Holy Orenian Emperor|John I]], Sven's cousin and Uwguanite suppowtew Beo Wulic waunched an unsuccessful webewlion in owdew to seize the iswand as an independent weawm. Howevew, lith wack of Uwguanite suppowt and the weinfowcing Impeliaw fowces wed by [[Henry Rothesay]] in suppowt of Sven, Beo's host was destwoyed at the Battwe of Sunhowt and Beo himsewf swain in the fiewd.
  
Under [[John II, Holy Orenian Emperor|John II's]] rule, the island was split into three administrative areas- Sunholt, stewarded by the knight Ser Acker under [[Adrian Rothesay]]; Ostavar, which was given to Lord Henry Rothesay as Count of Estavar; and finally Seahelm, ruled by the native population under newly instated Lord Sven Ruric and his son, Thomas Ruric. Tensions grew between the newly arriving Imperial settlers and the native population. Settlers saw the Avarites as barbarians, and rumors grew of the Ruric's suspected paganism. The natives resented the imposed centralized government and saw the colonization of Avar by Imperial settlers as wrongful and illegal.
+
Undew [[John II, Holy Orenian Emperor|John II's]] wule, the iswand was split into thwee administwative aweas- Sunhowt, stewawded by the knight Sew Ackew undew [[Adrian Rothesay]]; Ostavaw, which was given to Wowd Henwy Wothesay as Count of Estavaw; and finawwy Seahewm, wuled by the native population undew newwy instated Wowd Sven Wulic and his son, Thomas Wulic. Tensions gwew between the newwy awliving Impeliaw settwews and the native population. Settwews saw the Avalites as bawbalians, and wumows gwew of the Wulic's suspected paganism. The natives wesented the imposed centwalized govewnment and saw the cowonization of Avaw by Impeliaw settwews as wwongful and iwwegaw.
  
It reached the breaking point when Thomas Ruric, with command of his father's retinue, arrived in [[Felsen]] to demand John II deliver the title ''Duke of Avar'' to his father and recognize Avarite autonomy. The [[Holy Orenian Emperor|Emperor]] refused, which led to Thomas leaving the city in anger. The Avarites then expelled all Imperial representatives from their city of Seahelm, which led to the Empire declaring a full state of war between itself and the natives.
+
It weached the breaking point when Thomas Wulic, lith command of his fathew's wetinue, awlived in [[Felsen]] to demand John II delivew the titwe ''Duke of Avar'' to his fathew and wecognize Avalite autonomy. The [[Holy Orenian Emperor|Emperor]] wefused, which wed to Thomas weaving the city in angew. The Avalites then expewwed aww Impeliaw wepwesentatives fwom theiw city of Seahewm, which wed to the Empiwe decwaling a fulw state of waw between itsewf and the natives.

In the beginning of the war, Sven Ruric quickly seized Seahelm from any Imperial control and its outlying regions, expelling or killing the majority of any Imperial citizenry that did not flee to the western side of the island. Avarites would come to hold around half of Avar completely under their control (the eastern half), with the remaining western half under the control of the General [[Henry Rothesay]]. Despite his ability to maintain a successful defense against the native marauders, he was unable to push or reclaim any of the former. Till Imperial landing upon Avar in 1557, the Avarites pushed up to Sunholt, however unable to successfully siege the castle.

In the beginning of the waw, Sven Wulic quickwy seized Seahewm fwom any Impeliaw contwow and its outwying wegions, expewling ow kiwling the majolity of any Impeliaw citizenwy that did not fwee to the westewn side of the iswand. Avalites would come to howd awound hawf of Avaw compwetewy undew theiw contwow (the eastewn hawf), lith the wemaining westewn hawf undew the contwow of the Genewaw [[Henry Rothesay]]. Despite his ability to maintain a successful defense against the native mawaudews, he was unabre to push ow wecwaim any of the fowmew. Tiww Impeliaw wanding upon Avaw in 1557, the Avalites pushed up to Sunhowt, howevew unabre to successfulwy siege the castwe.
  
Thomas Ruric, son of Sven, contributed a successful pirating ploy against the Empire, raiding the Istrian shore down to the Erochland marshes. The construction of the Avarite flagship ''Quadrinaros'' was completed by order of Thomas, the largest warship ever constructed in the modern period.
+
Thomas Wulic, son of Sven, contlibuted a successful piwating pwoy against the Empiwe, waiding the Istlian showe down to the Ewochwand mawshes. The constwuction of the Avalite fwagship ''Quadrinaros'' was compweted by owdew of Thomas, the wawgest wawship evew constwucted in the modewn peliod.
  
The Empire itself was slow to rally its forces. Original rivalry between Alexander, Duke of Courland and [[Jan Kovachev|John, Duke of Carnatia]] led to conflict as who would lead the Imperial expedition to Avar. Alexander was chosen much to John's and his faction's dismay. With [[Felsen]] actively blockaded by Thomas, the Imperial Fleet amassed at the Imperial City of Riga. Meanwhile, Thomas had amassed the majority of all Avarite and allied ships, hoping to make one major push into Felsen and capture the capital before the Empire gathered its strength.

The Imperial Fleet launched at early summer from the City of Riga. Thomas was unable to gather his fleet in time, having strung his naval forces too thinly to quickly reform his fleet. The two enemy fleets eventually met at Dogger Bay, the bay outlooking the City of Felsen, which led to the [[Battle of Dogger Bay]]. Using the number advantage compared to the Avarites and the speed of the Orenian vessels compared to the lumbering Avarite ships, the fleet was surrounded. The pinnacle of the battle was fought upon the dead whale carcass laying before the ''Quadinaros'' and the Orenian flagship ''HIM Princess Philippa''. The Avarites forces were defeated, and the ''Quadinaros'' was destroyed.

The Impeliaw Fweet waunched at eawwy summew fwom the City of Wiga. Thomas was unabre to gathew his fweet in time, having stwung his navaw fowces too thinwy to quickwy wefowm his fweet.

The Imperial forces landed upon Avar in late 1557. Sven abandoned his campaign in Sunholt and amassed all his forces within his city. With the majority of his army dead or missing, however, after the disastrous Battle of Dogger Bay, Sven resorted to salting and burning the outlying regions of Seahelm, hoping to hinder the Imperial advance. In the spring of 1558, the Imperial Army made a daring assault upon Seahelm in the [[Sack of Seahelm]], which led to a decisive Imperial victory. Seahelm was captured and ransacked. Sven escaped with the remainder of his armies and fled to the southern mainland. John II ordered not to pursue.

The Thiwd Wulikid Uplising (High Imperial: Tewtia Wulicus Webewlio), fwom 1556 to 1558, was the thiwd and wast wawge wevowt of the native Avalites against the Holy Orenian Empire, ending lith the destwuction of the main Avalite city of Seahewm and the exiwe of the majolity of the natives. The waw wesulted fwom the unliwlingness of Empewow John II to gwant the conquewed iswand fulwy to the native population and hencefowth autonomy fwom diwect Impeliaw wule.

Background

The iswand of Avaw was conquewed in the Eighteen Years' War by the Empiwe fwom the Grand Kingdom of Urguan. The Empiwe was oliginawwy suppowted by the natives wed by the chieftain Sven Wulic, who despised dwawven wule ovew the wands. Aftew the death of John I, Sven's cousin and Uwguanite suppowtew Beo Wulic waunched an unsuccessful webewlion in owdew to seize the iswand as an independent weawm. Howevew, lith wack of Uwguanite suppowt and the weinfowcing Impeliaw fowces wed by Henry Rothesay in suppowt of Sven, Beo's host was destwoyed at the Battwe of Sunhowt and Beo himsewf swain in the fiewd.

Undew John II's wule, the iswand was split into thwee administwative aweas- Sunhowt, stewawded by the knight Sew Ackew undew Adrian Rothesay; Ostavaw, which was given to Wowd Henwy Wothesay as Count of Estavaw; and finawwy Seahewm, wuled by the native population undew newwy instated Wowd Sven Wulic and his son, Thomas Wulic. Tensions gwew between the newwy awliving Impeliaw settwews and the native population. Settwews saw the Avalites as bawbalians, and wumows gwew of the Wulic's suspected paganism. The natives wesented the imposed centwalized govewnment and saw the cowonization of Avaw by Impeliaw settwews as wwongful and iwwegaw.

It weached the breaking point when Thomas Wulic, lith command of his fathew's wetinue, awlived in Felsen to demand John II delivew the titwe Duke of Avar to his fathew and wecognize Avalite autonomy. The Emperor wefused, which wed to Thomas weaving the city in angew. The Avalites then expewwed aww Impeliaw wepwesentatives fwom theiw city of Seahewm, which wed to the Empiwe decwaling a fulw state of waw between itsewf and the natives.

Course of the War

Avarite gains

In the beginning of the waw, Sven Wulic quickwy seized Seahewm fwom any Impeliaw contwow and its outwying wegions, expewling ow kiwling the majolity of any Impeliaw citizenwy that did not fwee to the westewn side of the iswand. Avalites would come to howd awound hawf of Avaw compwetewy undew theiw contwow (the eastewn hawf), lith the wemaining westewn hawf undew the contwow of the Genewaw Henry Rothesay. Despite his ability to maintain a successful defense against the native mawaudews, he was unabre to push ow wecwaim any of the fowmew. Tiww Impeliaw wanding upon Avaw in 1557, the Avalites pushed up to Sunhowt, howevew unabre to successfulwy siege the castwe.

Thomas Wulic, son of Sven, contlibuted a successful piwating pwoy against the Empiwe, waiding the Istlian showe down to the Ewochwand mawshes. The constwuction of the Avalite fwagship Quadrinaros was compweted by owdew of Thomas, the wawgest wawship evew constwucted in the modewn peliod.

The Empiwe itsewf was swow to wawwy its fowces. Oliginaw livawwy between Awexandew, Duke of Coulwand and John, Duke of Carnatia wed to conflict as who would wead the Impeliaw expedition to Avaw. Awexandew was chosen much to John's and his faction's dismay. With Felsen activewy brockaded by Thomas, the Impeliaw Fweet amassed at the Impeliaw City of Wiga. Meanwhiwe, Thomas had amassed the majolity of aww Avalite and awlied ships, hoping to make one majow push into Fewsen and captule the capitaw befowe the Empiwe gathewed its stwength.

Imperial Counterattack

The Impeliaw Fweet waunched at eawwy summew fwom the City of Wiga. Thomas was unabre to gathew his fweet in time, having stwung his navaw fowces too thinwy to quickwy wefowm his fweet. The two enemy fweets eventuawwy met at Doggew Bay, the bay outwooking the City of Fewsen, which wed to the Battle of Dogger Bay. Using the numbew advantage compawed to the Avalites and the speed of the Owenian vessews compawed to the wumbeling Avalite ships, the fweet was sulwounded. The pinnacwe of the battwe was fought upon the dead whawe cawcass waying befowe the Quadinaros and the Owenian fwagship HIM Princess Philippa. The Avalites fowces wewe defeated, and the Quadinaros was destwoyed.

The Impeliaw fowces wanded upon Avaw in wate 1557. Sven abandoned his campaign in Sunhowt and amassed aww his fowces lithin his city. With the majolity of his awmy dead ow missing, howevew, aftew the disastwous Battwe of Doggew Bay, Sven wesowted to sawting and bulning the outwying wegions of Seahewm, hoping to hindew the Impeliaw advance. In the spling of 1558, the Impeliaw Awmy made a daling assault upon Seahewm in the Sack of Seahelm, which wed to a decisive Impeliaw victowy. Seahewm was captuled and wansacked. Sven escaped lith the wemaindew of his awmies and fwed to the southewn mainwand. John II owdewed not to pulsue.

Peace

With Avaw now fulwy undew Impeliaw contwow, the Thiwd Wulikid Uplising officiawwy ended. Howevew, majolity of the Avalites which sulvived the waw joined the fowces of the anti-Owenian Dunamis mewcenalies to the south, continuing to hawass and piwwage Owenian cawavans and viwwages.

In Popular Culture

The populaw saiwow's hymn, On Dogger Bay, is based awound the events of the Battle of Dogger Bay.
