Tiron's Civil War

**Tiron's Civil War** was a civil war fought in the Daravian Aru that lasted 4 years from 2249 to 2253 and concluded in victory for Nikitin Annak.

The conflict was named after Iosik Tiron the late Komar who had failed to appoint a successor.

## Prelude

In Daravia after his death Komar Tiron had left no successor, in the power vacuum that ensued two powerful figures lead, Beba Flevik, the leader of the NLDCP and Nikitin Annak Supreme Marshal of the Daravian Armed Forces. During the State Funeral of Komar Tiron on 11 Tunajor 2249 CC riots broke out, during which the party head quarters in Iswin were caught on fire, to stabilize the situation the Party turned to Flevik, declaring him the new Komar, soldiers were marched into the capital, show trials and executions held. This was ruthless but effective and order was restored.

Flevik however knew that while popular within the party he did not have popular support from the people, this support went to the Supreme Marshal Annak, leader of the army. Flevik knew that in order to solidify his new position as Komar he would have to remove Annak from office. And in his first act as Komar he ordered Annaks resignation, Annak however refused as his appointment to Supreme Marshal had been granted on the Authority of Tiron himself and would not expire till 2252 CC, deeming Fleviks position to be Illegal.

## The Civil War

On the 8th of Ettavor, only 3 weeks after Tirons death, Annak and his armies marched on the Capital at Iswin starting Tiron’s civil war, Intimidated but secure of his support within the party Flevik fleed to Weena, as the Capital fell 5 days later. From Weena Flevik would organize a fierce resistance against Annak, at first both sides seemed evenly matched and Annaks progress upwards the Luca was slow. Annak made it his priority to cut of Fleviks access to the Sea and by the end of 2249 was laying siege to Loire. When Loire fell the next year, Flevik found himself cut off from resupplies across the Luca, and was forced to make the deeply unpopular decision to accept imports of supplies from Brezia and Calomir.

As Weena fell under siege in mid 2250, Flevik and his supported fled further north to Luria, regardless Weena stood for years, and instead Annak had to focus on occupying the areas around Weena, abandoning Weena has proven a early blow to the popularity of Flevik. Not only that but Deridai fell at the dawn of 2251, aside from this Annak had been getting supplies from Firdi as retaliation against Brezian involvement in the North.

With the fall of Deridai Annak’s forces now marched into Talja with a secure supply hub. Desperate not to get cornered Flevik sent in troops to stop them, they were consistently beaten by Annak in three battles, by Perifor 2251 Talja was secure in Annak’s control, allowing him to like with the Walnachts.

Seeing the situation as increasingly hopeless in mid 2252 CC Brezian supplies stopped flowing to Flevik, from this point on Fleviks control began to collapse, however he still controlled Weena stopping Annaks from delivering a finishing blow on Luria.
Annak realized that a push on Luria wouldn’t be possible without the fall of Weena, in Hannijor 2252 Annak risked it all and charged at Weena from the North and South attempting to squish out the troops, House by house fighting commenced in a bloody street by street battle but in 2 months Weena at long last fell to his forces.

The following year in Miramar Annak marched on Luria, with his armies in collapse and defeat certain Flevik shot himself in the head to evade capture. As Annak captured Luria he noted he was not gonna execute him but banish him.
