Pravenite Civil War (Dec. 1256 - )

Upon returning home from an expedition in Veluca, Hendrick Tevarin was informed that Coen slew 12 of his knights for trespassing. On December 4, he brought Coen to trial in Weiden, which lasted for hours until a messenger brought news that some of Hendrick's men attacked Coen's land, following the orders which Sigismund forged under Hendrick's name. Chaos erupted, resulting in the Massacre of Weiden where over 90 people died, including Bishop Albrecht. Hendrick Tevarin and Coen were at war, and the odds seemed hopeless for Coen. He kidnapped the countess of Weiden, hoping to use her as a bargaining chip, he tried to pay Hendrick off, but Hendrick was determined to destroy Coen. The two sides clashed at Adelscholz, where the Tevarins suffered a decisive defeat as a result of Sigismund's treachery. Hendrick was presumed dead and the very next day, Coen forced the countess to relinquish Weiden, taking it for himself and granting it to his son Adalbert.
On December 20, Sigismund was crowned as king of Praven. He convened his vassals and prepared to launch a campaign against Coen, however this never came to pass. His army remained idle in camp for over a week, waiting for reinforcements when none came.
