== Build Up to Civil War ==
It was seen that Julian was jealous of Matthias and him being the heir to Glanra even tho Julian was older more well trained for politics. There were many signs of Julian attempting a coup or even murdering Matthias out right but either way it was kept in Julian's head.
=== Skorm's Corruption and Suicide ===
After an accident with a soul gambling match and a corruption by a demon from hell to make his son Julian life suffer ended with Skorm committing suicide in his bedroom by stabbing himself with a sword. The demon was released and Skorm was left to lay in his bed lifeless. He was then discovered by Julian, Matthias, and Mcbruh in his chamber. 
== Day 1-3 ==
=== The Declaration of War ===
After a massive argument between Julian and Matthias over who will take the throne Matthias would leave to Vesprey and would denounce Julian and his actions for the throne on an international stage. Meanwhile Julian stayed in Voltaris City and after the announcement was made Julian then declared himself rightful King of Glanra. Julian would quickly declare Voltaris City under his control.
==== Matoburg Independence ====
After the declaration of the civil war Tim Coolio would soon return to Glanra and would declare his town of Matoburg independent from Glanra and he would begin fortifying but then Julian would arrive to the city. After Julian threaten to shoot Tim with an arrow Tim would offer to become a vassal if Julian became King and Tim would supply his attack. They agreed on this deal and Tim joined the Julian Loyalist.
===== Religious and International Intervention =====
Religious leaders in the Bardonian Empire immediately took interest and began taking sides. Being a Picklist himself followers of Pickleism flocked to Julian's banner and the Tuberists of Solanum backed up Matthias' army in order to stop Picklist Imperialism. This showdown now represented a religious battle as well as one over the leadership of Glanra. Meanwhile the Nations of Petra and Aurlûnor would declare support for Julian and Bardonia would side with Matthias. 
=== Declaration of the Flag Ship of Bruhgenheim ===
Valiant Night Voltaris-Naho would awaken from her year-long sleep to find Glanra in flames and chaos after watching the War from the shadows she felt as neither Matthias nor Julian should take the throne but her after the amount of chaos and disorder which had occurred though the realm of Glanra. She soon declared her self the 3rd party of this war soon gaining control of Bruhgenheim. Though being the smallest they are the most experienced when it comes to government. 
== The Battle of Vesprey ==
The Battle of Vesprey began on March 18th at 2:30PM CST. Julian's forces began their assault by infiltrating the city of Bruhgenheim through a tunnel before attacking Vesprey. This was only partially successful as Matthias' loyalists were patrolling the city and had spotted them underground. What followed was a massacre on Bruhgenheim bridge which ended in a Matthias Loyalist Victory. Because the fighting took place on the bridge the encounter is often cited as the Battle of Bruhgenheim Bridge. 
=== The Janitors ===
A group of High Government Bardonian's known as the Janitor's arrived to the battle and had slain many soldiers on both sides. This group of anarchist arriving to "clean up the mess" in Glanra and hopefully have a "peaceful resolve." Soon after many attacks against the Janitors by the Matthias loyalist The Janitors joined the Julianist Loyalist to combat the Matthias Loyalist.
== The Loyalist Collapse ==
Both sides were facing internal issues and were slowly collapsing in power. In the Julian loyalist Julian had almost committed treason in Bardonia after attempting a revolution in his part of Glanra. After his trial he would end up committing suicide and would be over taken by a demon known as the Red King. The Julian Loyalist instead of collapsing flocked to the Red King's banner and worshiped Julian as a god of the revolution. Meanwhile on the Matthias Loyalist, they would see disloyalty in their cause and many would begin to dessert. But as time grew closer the Battle of Matoburg would be sought out. 
== The Battle of Matoburg ==
The Red King would begin building defenses in Matoburg and would begin to call his troops but saw that none had shown. Rex would realize that his cause was soon over but with the help of Volkemorian troops and Develia they would begin arming. Rex would consider bombing Vesprey but decided against it cause of its historical importance. The battle would soon begin with a charge from Zurkberg into Fort Mato. The first attack was a Matthias Victory but they would be forced to fall back. Then a second attack would begin which ended in a massacre of Matthias Loyalist by Develia. DEvelia would be made Head General later that day. But a raid by Plant would occur which caused the Loyalist of both sides unite together and slay him. After the raid the final skirmish would begin between the best fighters of both sides. This final battle would be a Matthias Victory but later they would be forced to retreat from Matoburg once again to secure their next attack.
