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 the Republican Separatist Movement, dubbed the Republic of Alsace, that formed 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.

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.

Though the Adhemar Army didn't arrive until after a contingent of roughly 17,500 allied troops took Garvis, with Umdar and Adhemar working as one, and with the nearest allied troops several days away, they laid siege to Garvis. However, the purposeful reawakening of the long-sleeping Garvis clan within Castle Garvis, along with the timely arrival of forces from seven noble houses still loyal to the Lafayette Dynasty, and a large battalion of the Knights of Alfheim, gave the allies the reinforcement they needed. Also present were all seven Lunaculi, giving the allies another edge, and both Umdar and Adhemar House were forced to retreat.
