Arcadian Civil War

"Arcadians have long sought its mark upon the world, and it earned it in the ashes of Emir and the destruction of the Alliance. But now even at the heart of its power, it rumbles with chaotic flares and power games. It now has to choose between destruction or salvation...it is only a matter of time"

- Account of Faranis Dawnflight, Volumn 3

The Arcadian Civil War, also known as the Magi War was a conflict fought between Cyrus Reign and Selunin Vaus for control of the kingdom. Cyrus Reign was infamous for sacking Emir and single-handily brought the Aiscorian Alliance to its dissolution and returned home with his army to via for the throne with Selunin Vaus being formally elected and seen as the legitimatized power. The initial fighting was restricted to the capital city, but quickly spread into full-scale fighting between the loyalists of the crown and the separatists of Reign.

The war caught the attention of the resurgent Coalition, seeing that such disturbance in its southern neighbor was a call for concern and began inquiring with King Vaus on a potential alliance - when news of this broke out it resulted in mass rioting as many Arcadians resented the Coalition merely for the fact they were the alliance in all but name. Reign was approached by another resurgent power of the era, the Unity. The Unity would support his claim to the throne militantly in exchange for Arcadia pledge to join the Unity in the greater theater of the world against its rivals in the Coalition and the Allegiance

Originally Cyrus was not kind to the idea of joining flag with the Unity which was primarily lead by the Scyerian Empire, once the foremost of the ancient powers of Aiscoria but upon realization that without the assistance of the elves he would be defeated, he chose to accept the pact and aligned himself with the Unity. Vaus chose to align himself with the Coalition, which brought criticism and a lack of trust in his rule.

What began as a mere internal conflict quickly became a tag-war between the two superpowers, the Unity would deploy the Shattered Dawn under Faranis Dawnflight to support Cyrus Reign
