The **Androsian** Civil War, or the **Andrese** Civil War is an ongoing conflict that started on Damhair 27 primarily between the Andrese Government and the Revolutionaries calling themselves the Crystallum Purpuralis.

## Background

### Traditional Andrese Religion (perhaps a [[religions of aekosia]] page later)

Traditional religions of Andros revolve around Ancestor Veneration and Cloud/Nebulary Worship.

### Crystallum Purpuralis

Although the religion is hard to describe, the Purple Crystal is one archetype that is common in most beliefs.

### Western Regions

In the context of the Civil War, the Western Regions include:

* Santalosia
* Makaronesia
* Sartikos
* Novo-Androsium

Exceptions include the shared land of Helianthus.

## Initial Rebellions

Seeing an explosive growth, reactionaries across much of Andros started a campaign to destroy and attack any Crystalline followers. It was described as “a massacre” by many.

## Ongoing conflicts and details

A poll conducted by the Nucifera Post, located in the region of Akosta, concluded that areas with thick cultural ties and settlements to the Capitale Androsium Region were significantly less likely to be converted/assimilated to any other religions.

### Makronesian Campaign

Magnus Frazier led multiple Tirmorian Ships against the Crystallum Purpuralis holding in Makronesia, winning numerous battles, such as the Battle of the 11 Ships, the Battle of Aevier, and the Battle of Island #3.

## International Response

### Timoran

Magnus Frazier was a huge proponent of supporting the Reactionaries in the War, and spearheaded Tirmorian involvement in the Civil war. Fraizer managed to pass Bill 1A, which would have 500,000 TS used to help Andros in various ways. It was incredibly controversial, especially given the amount of money spent on peacekeeping force. Frazier is quoted as saying *"Andros is a Brother to our Nation. We will help them in any way possible... We stand with our brothers in this time of great chaos. Glory to Tirmoran! Glory to Andros!".* Frazier would lead the peacekeeping force personally, aboard the TSS Frazier, saying *"How can we justify a war if I am not fighting on the front lines? Is it fair to force a mother to lose her child while I sit in a desk in Priohm? No. I declared this war, and goddammit I'm going to end it."*

Alexander Campbell declared a crusade in the name of Morrigan against the Crystallum Purpuralis, saying "They are against the very thing our religion stands for! The infidels must be crushed!". This had a mixed reaction, with Frazier, a devout follower of Morrigan himself, saying "Religion cannot be fixed with more religion". The government of Andros also had a negative reaction, with Leader/Consul Santalumlignos, a key reactionary, saying *"Please, anyone who crusades, do not do a genocide. It is better to promote peaceful crystals rather than the crystals of war".*

Tirmoran evacuated at minimum of 50000 Andrese peoples to the shared territory of Helianthos], as well as the Northern colony. Most of the Andrese evacuated were the ones in the Western Regions, such as:

* Sartikos
* Makaronesia
* Santalosia

### Asperion

Vice President Vasilios V. Tsiaki blocked large amounts of travel to and from Andros and suspended all travel to the afflicted provinces:

*"Asperion shall announce partial shutdown of the borders for Andrese citizens indefinitely... All Andrese and Asperian citizens returning from Andros will have to be searched for any religious artifacts or purple crystals. Thank you for cooperating. We apologize for any delays.*
