The Soleilian Civil War was a major three-way internal conflict in Soleil during and after the Great Northern Aquilonis War, pitting the ruling House Lafayette and their allies, against the renegade House Adhemar and House Bannister, and the republican separatist movement dubbed the Republic of Alsace. The exact date the war began in unclear, but most agree that the seeds of conflict originated when Solaris fell after the Umdari Invasion of Soleil during the Great Northern Aquilonis War.
Origins
The war's origins go back to before the Great Northern Aquilonis War. In a plot to seize the throne, the House Adhemar, led by Germain Paul-Antoine de Adhemar, secretly aligned itself with Umdar.
When Umdar invaded Soleil, they caught the Royal Army off guard by launching an amphibious assault via Potiruka, bypassing the defenses Soleil had installed. As the Umdari marched on the capital, Solaris, House Adhemar turned against House Lafayette and killed King Justin III. After the Fall of Solaris, Umdar installed Germain as King of Soleil, leaving him to rule northern Soleil himself, while they secured the rest of the peninsular nation. A feat not easily done, due to a rebellion, consisting mostly of the remains of the Soleilian Royal Army, being led by Germain's own daughters.
Just as the Northern Alliance invaded northern Soleil six year later, a persistent separate rebellion outside royal influence liberated the Florence and Alsace Provinces, allowing the alliance to march south to liberate the besieged royal army almost unopposed. However, this rebellion wasn't interested in returning to royal rule; instead, they declared independence and installed their own leaders as a republic, which they called the Republic of Alsace.
Believing that Umdar and Germain were the more serious threat, Allied leaders decided to leave them alone and deal with them when the war ended; it would be an inaction they would soon regret.
War
Conflict with House Adhemar
Even before Umdar was evicted from Soleil, hostilities between the alliance and the House of Adhemar broke out.
When the Northern Allies launched their plan to retake Solaris by the end of the 4542 fighting season, Horace sent a large army to intercept a portion of the Allies at their first target; Garvis.
Battle of Garvis
Liberation of Solaris
Conflict with Alsace
During the winter of 4541-4542, negotiations for Alsace and Florence to remain part of the realm seemed hopeful; but, just as House Lafayette won the throne back from House Adhemar, the self-proclaimed Republic of Alsace came under the leadership of antiroyalist Jacques Alphonse de Bonaparte.
Jacques Bonaparte, a commoner by birth, was elected President of Alsace by direct democratic vote on an antiroyalist stance, just as the Battle of Garvis came to a conclusion. Jacques and his fellow antiroyalist followers broke off all negotiations with the reinstated monarchy with the intention of establishing a fully independent state.
Regardless, newly coronated King Edmond II, under advise from Veronica Lafayette, tried to reestablish negotiations with Alsace to ensure peace, and eventual reunification. Over the course of five months, thrice King Edmond sent diplomats to negotiate; the first two were turned away, and the third was sent back in a coffin as a clear message that negotiations would not happen, and Alsace would not willingly return to royal rule. Knowing that the new president would not listen to reason, Edmond, Veronica, and their council, made the reluctant decision to take back Alsace and Florence by force.
