Kaleti Civil War

The **Kaleti Civil War** was the first recorded civil war in Avaria, starting on March 10th, 2023 and is still ongoing, although a ceasefire has been signed.

## Causes

### Republican Demonstration

Tensions first start on March 9th, 2023 when a large Republican protest was held in the Parliamentary Capital of Ranêt, where protesters took over an arena during a pvp match, removed the Sewene and Kaleti flags and replacing them with Red Banners to symbolize the socialist movement, calling for more popular representation in the Kaleti government, expanded worker's rights, limits on the power of the Faroh and for Tankaamese to be recognized as a minority language. During this protest, a monarchist supporter was thrown into the fighting pit and killed, sparking outrage among monarchists across the country. There was little resistance to the protests due to the Ranêt government's support of the majority party at the time, Kaleti Socialist Party (KSP) and with the Prime Minister at the time, Âlaksen, declaring that she was *"Is in complete support of the Republican and anti-monarchist perspectives of the people of Ranêt"* and that *"my mother tongue deserves recognition as the significant language that it is in daily Ranêtian life."*

In response, a candlelight vigil was held in the Monarchial Capital of Sewene, with Faroh Âra stating that the protests were *"an insult of our culture, our pride and our government."* and that "*Prime Minister Âlaksen should be ashamed for supporting such an evil act against our great nation, let alone standing by to let it happen."* After the vigil many Anti-Socialist protests broke out, with protesters burning red banners and calling for Prime Minister Âlaksen to be charged with treason.

### Constitutional Amendment Proposal

After the protests, Prime Minister Âlaksen proposed 4 news amendments to the constitution, summarized as the following:

Amendment I: Expanding the rights of Workers in Râ'Kaleti with minimum wages, workplace regulations and the right to unionize

Amendment II: Limiting the power of the Faroh and giving her a ceremonial role in the government

Amendment III: Changing the symbolism of Râ'Kaleti to match the symbolism of the KSP

Amendment IV: Declaring Tankaamese as a minority language in Râ'Kaleti, as well as giving it joint-official status in Ranêt

Faroh Âra approved Amendments I and IV, but vetoed II and III. This provoked Prime Minister Âlaksen into creating Provisional Authority of Ra'Kaleti, thus starting the civil war

## Battles and Events during the Civil War

### Battle of Mount Shâ

Immediately after the declaration of the Provisional Authority, Pro-Monarchist forces immediately set up a fortification on Mount Shâ, and shortly after, a Pro-Socialist force traveling along the Trans-Kaleti highway ran into the fortification. A bow fight immediately broke out and lasted for about 7 minutes before the defending Pro-Monarchist forces charged and defeated the Pro-Socialist forces, killing 1.

### Second Battle of Mount Shâ

Following the monarchist victory at Mount Shâ, the Kaleti Provisional Authority consolidated their power in Ranêt, and forming a Kaleti International Brigade of international sympathisers to the Northern cause. Following the build-up of international support, a mixed local-international unit of the Kaleti People's Army charged at the monarchist defences on Mount Shâ that were recently gained in the first battle, leading to a fast one-minute battle, that led to the death of one monarchist and the recapture of Mount Shâ by socialist forces. Prime Minister Âlaksen, following the battle, stated "*Mount Shâ has been a symbol of their* [The Monarchists'] *tyranny and oppression for far too long. But today, we have proven that we are a united people, a people that will not be silenced, a people that will fight for our freedom and the future we deserve."*

### Annexation of the Celestial State

In a statement released following the Second Battle of Mount Shâ, Prime Minister Âlaksen announced that her Kaleti People's Army had crossed the border into the Celestial State, which had been assumed an enemy and puppet of the Sewene Government by the communists. This announcement was met with denouncement from the Sewene government, who then moved in to secure as much of the country as possible, which ended up including Mystacore, the capital of the Celestial State

### Battle of Rokotal

Following the Second Battle of Mount Shâ, Communist forces, as well as the Kaleti International Brigade, continued their move east and south, eventually running into a Royalist defence near Rokotal, which was swiftly defeated by the Internationalists and Kaleti People's Army, who then continued east and south, reunifying the previously encircled southern communist forces with the rest of Râ'Kaleti, and encircled the southernmost region of Râ'Kaleti

### Battle of Sewene

Following the Communist victory at Rokotal, the People's Army, this time, without the International Brigades, began a walk from Exolius to Sewene via the Trans-Kaleti, which at that point was almost entirely under their control. In Sewene, they met fierce resistance from Royalist forces, who managed to push them out of the city

### Ceasefire of Mount Shâ

Following the Communist loss at Sewene, leading to communist forces being pushed largely back to First Battle of Mount Shâ-era borders, representatives of the Kaleti Provisional Authority and the Kaleti Kingdom began talks for a ceasefire, which on the 25th of March, 2023 led to a ceasefire, signed at Mount Shâ, in the same place as the barricade used by the Kaleti People's Army during the First Battle of Mount Shâ
