Gustav Incident

The Gustav Incident is a pivotal event in the history of Runersia. It started when the barbarians of Gustav attacked the Norzaleo Principality during a dispute about succession. Norzaleo's southern neighbor Gui was dragged into the conflict as well, so the Rune Knights of Moule joined an army led by the Moule Ange sisters that fought against and eventually drove off the barbarians.
According to the history books of the Holy Gustava Empire, the stage for the conflict was set when Sin Gustav, a young prodigy related to the exile Asid Gustav, began finding a thick, flammable black liquid in his lands that brought his family great wealth. Norzaleo learned about this and argued that since Asid had been a knight of the principality before his exile, the Gustav family was honor-bound to present the wealth he had earned to Norzaleo. Moreover, if they refused to pay tribute, Norzaleo would take their land by military force. The Gustav family found these demands unreasonable, and thus attacked Norzaleo in a rebuttal that they called the Gustav Uprising to reflect Asid's rebellious spirit.
