The Latoran Civil War

The Latoran Civil War was a civil war within the Kingdom of Latora to determine the future of the kingdom.
==Origins of the conflict==
The idea of a Latoran reformation that would bring complete equality between Egrilians and Lauch people was common idea ever since the uprising. It's popularity only rose as more Lauchmen became influencial. Albeit many Egrillians supported the proposal to increase the political rank of the Lauch people, it had just as many opposers, mainly Egrilian revisionists.
The biggest opposers of the change was the king's younger brother, Huebert Von Wickten and his party, "The Sons of Old Egrilia", who were responsible of surpressing possible rebellions all across the kingdom, Huebert was known for his military achievements and bravery, as well as his love for the old Egrilian kingdom and his dislike of politics, which he deemed "a fight for weak men who are too scared for war".
After nearly all member of the Von Wickten dynasty died out of a in a disease, the crown fell to Huebert. The new king annouced that it wasn't a sickness that killed his siblings but "a curse of three gods and a hundred kings, who were enraged to what has been done to Egrilia". The regent of the previous king, Jehan Gaubert attempted to warn him that his statement might upset the Lauch population, but to no avail.
==The Battles==
King Huebert gathered his party and began his religious war against the Lauch people. Many turned to Jehan for explanation, as he was the only Lauch member of the court, others blamed him for his lack of actions. Jehan, representing Lauchette; only declared war on Huebert's party after the torching of Lauchburg, the largest Lauch town at the time.
Although Huebert had a lot of battle experiences, he overestimated his people's support for him, more Egrilians would join Jehan's side. Huebert was captured shortly after he left Lauchburg and executed. Even though there were more, younger members of the Von Wickten dynasty, the people decided to enthrone Jehan.
King Jehan reformed the kingdom into The Kingdom of Lauchette, which caused numerous minor Egrillian uprising, none of them were successful.
