Ivenian Civil War

## Background

### Prelude

The state of Ivenia was once a beacon of progress and prosperity, known for its advanced technology and thriving economy. Nestled in the heart of Dresanaria, it was a melting pot of cultures and traditions, with a rich history that dated back centuries.

But recently, Ivenia has been torn apart by a devastating civil war that has left the state in ruins. At the heart of the conflict are deep-seated political and ideological differences that have divided the state for 2 years.

On one side are the supporters of the ruling regime, led by a authoritarian leader who has held power for over 20 years. This leader, known as Mayor Fallere, came to power through a series of questionable elections and crackdowns on dissent. Over time, his regime became increasingly oppressive, with basic human rights being violated and opposition parties being suppressed.

On the other side are the rebels, a diverse group of activists and dissident factions who are fighting for democracy and human rights. These rebels include a range of groups, from liberal democrats to socialist revolutionaries, all united in their desire to bring down the regime and bring about change. As the fighting rages on, the Ivenian people have suffered greatly, with thousands killed and many more displaced from their homes. The economy has collapsed, and the country's once-proud infrastructure has been destroyed.

The international community has attempted to broker peace deals and provide aid to the suffering population, but progress has been slow and fragile. The ruling regime has been accused of committing war crimes and violating international law, further complicating efforts to bring about a peaceful resolution. To understand the roots of this conflict, we need to go back to the early years of the regime, when Mayor Fallere came to power. Fallere was a charismatic and ambitious politician who was able to appeal to a broad range of voters with his populist rhetoric and nationalist agenda. However, as he consolidated his grip on power, Fallere began to exhibit authoritarian tendencies, suppressing opposition parties and cracking down on dissent. This led to widespread discontent among the population, particularly among the younger generation, who were fed up with the lack of political freedom and economic opportunities.

As the economy began to suffer and the faction grew more oppressive, the discontent of the population reached a boiling point. Protests and demonstrations broke out across the country, and soon escalated into a full-blown civil war. The rebels were able to gain control of large swaths of territory and establish a number of strongholds, but they faced a formidable enemy in the form of the State's well-trained and well-equipped military. The fighting was brutal and intense, with both sides committing atrocities in the name of their cause. As the conflict dragged on, Rowan industries became more involved, with various countries and organizations attempting to broker peace deals and provide humanitarian aid to the suffering population.

Knowing that Mayor Fallere wouldn't negotiate, the rebels made an attempt to assasinate Mayor Fallere during a ball. However, the efforts to assasinate Fallere were for nothing, two armed guards activated 2 body shields and captured the rebels immediately. Fallere ordered that the rebels were to be executed on site immediately, he then made an order to prepare the IAF for war.

## The War

The War began when Novalian soldiers raided a Rebel base outside of Goldthorne city. The rebels knew that Mayor Fallere was declaring war, so they prepared for the battle. The battlefield was a scene of chaos and destruction, as the two sides of the Ivenian civil war clashed in a brutal and bloody confrontation. On one side were the rebels, a diverse group of activists and dissident factions fighting for democracy and human rights. They were vastly outnumbered by the forces of the ruling regime, a well-trained and well-equipped military loyal to the authoritarian leader, Mayor Fallere.

Despite their disadvantage, the rebels were determined to fight on, driven by a fierce sense of purpose and a desire to bring down the oppressive regime. They were led by a charismatic and skilled commander, former military officer Sam Rowan, who had defected to the rebel cause. As the battle raged on, the two sides clashed in a series of fierce skirmishes and explosive clashes. The rebels fought with a fierce determination, using guerrilla tactics and improvised weapons to take on their more heavily armed opponents. Realizing that he underestimated the rebels, Mayor Fallere started to send injured soldiers to battle as VW subjects.

The fighting was brutal and intense, with both sides suffering many casualties. The rebels were able to score some significant victories, but they were always at a disadvantage against the faction's superior firepower and resources. As the day wore on, it became clear that the rebels were in danger of being overwhelmed. But even as the situation seemed hopeless, they refused to give up, determined to fight to the end for their cause. In the end, the rebels were able to hold their ground and inflict significant damage on the faction's forces, but at a great cost.

## Aftermath

After months of brutal fighting, the civil war in Ivenia finally came to an end. The ruling regime, led by Mayor Fallere, was forced to accept a peace deal after many of its followers left, bringing an end to the conflict that had torn the country apart for so long. The peace deal was not without its controversies, as many on both sides felt that it did not fully address their grievances or provide justice for the atrocities that had been committed. However, it was seen as the best option available, given the stalemate that had persisted for so long.

As the peace deal was implemented, the people of Ivenia began the long process of rebuilding their lives and their nation. The economy was in shambles, and the infrastructure had been severely damaged, but there was a sense of hope and optimism that had not been present for months. The rebels, who had fought so hard for democracy and human rights, were able to participate in a series of free and fair elections, which resulted in the formation of a new government including having Arbor Rowan elected as Mayor, as he was more representative of the people's wishes.

As the days passed, Ivenia gradually began to heal and rebuild, with the people working together to create a brighter and more prosperous future. There were still challenges and setbacks, of course, but there was a sense of unity and purpose that had been lacking for so long. Finally, after months of conflict and turmoil, the people of Ivenia were able to look to the future with hope and optimism, knowing that they had overcome the challenges that had once seemed insurmountable.
