War of the Hybretian Succession

The War of the Hybretian Succession was a conflict that broke out in early May 262, after the Gorathic clans declared Lenara the Queen of Gorathica after hearing reports that Emperor Basilean was planning to strip many rights from them. The war escalated exceptionally fast with the Hybretian fleet splitting apart and fighting tearing across southern Gorathica.
After establishing a blockade, the Empire of Kordowyn invaded New Hybris and captured Emperor Basilean and his family. The war is often referred to as the Second Kordynian Conquest.
Daelin I was reestablished as Emperor, with his daughter Junior Empress. The popularity of both is high in Gorathica and the colonies, but in Endiolaudika they are viewed as puppets of Kordowyn. The scars left in Hybretian society have grown deeper.
=== War in the South ===
Fighting broke out in near New Viserothis and back and forthed for weeks before Lenara and a Sidonian army came to support the Gorathics. A force of Eresu fighters was executed en masse by the Hybretians after failing to capture the north-end, sparking massive protests in Ephesus.
War had torn apart the west as well, with Jodithine territory constantly flipping back and forth. 
=== Ephesus Massacre ===
As tensions rose as war grew closer to the west, the rebel vessel HWS Epicheris engaged and sunk the HWS Dyanmi near Ephesus. The crowds gathered cheered the event, leading to a force of Katigadis opening fire in the Slaughter of the Steps. Many civilians, including foreign nationals, died in the massacre before the Katigadis could be ordered to stop. Epicheris bombarded the Governor's mansion, killing most of the upper command and officers.
Following the massacre, Basilean and the Royal government began a thorough investigation and seized 31 Katigadis they believed responsible, exeucting them all publicly. The Republic of Novac sent a bomb to kill the Aftokatoras, sparking the Hybro-Novacian War.
Basilean ordered a full invasion of Novac, which when troops landed, was met with declarations of war by Garman and Kordowyn. Setacolina withdrew from the war after the massacre and began sending material aide to rebels in Ephesus. Ephesus entered widespread rebellion by mid August.
=== Peripheral Wars ===
Makriaudia declared Daelin as Aftokatoras as the war broke out. Daelin captured Recinolaudum in mid August with no fighting, and Hybretian Ostindien in late August with little resistance. Drakon Kalkhas was sent to negotiate with Lenara, who had seized Union Trans-Arassia early in the war.
=== End of the War ===
The Kordynian Empire declared war on Hybretia after the invasion of Novac, and established a thick blockade of New Hybris. Kolangrad ceased all trade and shut down the railways going in and out of the Capital.
Daelin and a Templari'i army invaded Taris as the Templari'i fleet destroyed the Tarisian Home Fleet in mid August. The naval battle was a quick victory for the Templari'i
On September 18th the Kordynian 2nd Army landed Marines in Endiolaudum. The 1st and 2nd Armies, under General Jac Burke crossed over by rail from Kolangrad and launched an invasion of Endiolaudika. The 1st Union Koinovoúlio accepted the unconditional surrender as supplies dwindled and the capital was surrounded, Basilean did not.
