The **Ischianian Crusade** (*Broccumian: Schianian Syawfye̊sh*), otherwise known as the **Great Religious War** (*Broccumian: Lwe Udwe̊zh Dyangks*) is an ongoing crusade in northern West Enadia.

The conflict is mainly prominent in the countries of Broccumia, Lubria, and Serviania, but also involves Vignia, Mintia, and Belcia, among other countries. The conflict has caused the breakdown of the Broccumian government, almost to the point of civil war.

## History

### Backround

*Main Article: Religion in Enadia*

Since its inception, Old Tallian Spiritism encompassed nearly every modern-day country in northern West Enadia, including Broccumia, Lubria, Serviania, Vignia, Mintia, Netria, and Belcia. Approximately 5000 years before the Enadian Common Era, Tallian was created in a schism between Old Tallian Spiritists and dissenters who believed that The Combination has already occured.

For approximately 2000 years, Tallian spread across the continent, engrossing most of West Enadia. A period of wars ensued between the three dominant religions of West Enadia: Old Tallian Spiritism, Tallian, and followers of the Word of Gorbachrin.

Around 3000 BECE, heretics known as the Ischianians, native to Broccumia, were excommunicated from the Tallian church by the Supreme Priest. These followers formed a new religion, known as the Ischianian Sect. The Ischianian Sect actively practiced underground, out of the eye of the Tallians and Old Tallian Spiritists.

### Modern Period

Followers of the Ischianian Sect began actively waging wars and conflicts against the Tallians and Old Tallian Spiritists in 1550, centered at Viglia. Gradually, the Ischianian Sect began gathering large amounts of followers. By 1600, the Ischianian Sect controlled the Chiosia River valley, and disrupted trade in the Foviling Ocean.

In 1690, the Ischianian Sect began to genocide Tallians and Old Tallian Spiritists in Broccumia and Lubria. By 1750, most of the Broccumians in Viglia and the Chiosia River Valley willingly or were forcefully converted to follow the Ischianian Sect. Low level conflicts ensued all the way into the 20th century.

In 1930, the Ischianian Sect, now a de facto nation, began pushing southwards into the province of Bybdeia. The Broccumian government responded by gassing the Ischianians, inadvertently killing 5% of its own population. The Ischianian Sect responded by committing acts of terrorism across West Enadia.

### War breaks out

Entering the 21st century, the conflicts ramped up until 2070, when the Ischianian Sect invaded Lubria as a response for Lubria declaring Old Tallian Spiritism it's official religion. The Lubrians were unable to fend off the Ischianian advances, and lost control of its capital, Lubria City, in 2079. During this period, the Ischianian Sect advanced eastwards across northern Broccumia, taking control of all the former Old Tallian Spiritst-controlled lands.

Ischianians entered Serviania in the first months of 2080, and are actively fighting against the Old Tallian Spiritists, as well as the Tallians, though the latter is fought on a drastically smaller scale.
