## Brother's War

The Brother's War of Del Sol Valley was a ~20 year conflict between the rival brother, King Oscar, and King Jarrod for the throne. Those 20 years were full of each brother playing a game of tug of war for the throne.

##### Background

The seeds that lead to the war were planted by King Ronan: The original usurper to the throne of Del Sol Valley who thought his actions were law and absolute over everything else. He had three sons, Ciaran, Oscar and Jarrod. His initial idea was for Ciaran to inherit the throne after his death. However, those plans were foiled when Ciaran ran away from the country and establish a new kingdom, Newcrest. Ciaran inevitably was removed from the line of succession as a result, making Ronan's middle child, Oscar, his heir. Oscar was arranged to wed Princess Sophie of Brindleton Bay, but those plans were also foiled when Oscar secretly eloped with commoner, Giovanna Freeman. The law stated that royals had to marry other people of the nobility for them to still be in the line of succession, so Oscar was inevitably booted out. With no choice left, Ronan made his last son, Jarrod, the heir of Del Sol Valley. Jarrod obtain most of his father's antics, like his image of superiority over others and extreme views. Jarrod married Princess Akari of Willow Creek, and ascended the throne right after their wedding, when King Ronan suspiciously died from illness. Not one to accept no for an answer, Oscar was able to enter back in Del Sol Valley and kicked Jarrod off of his throne, to crown himself as king. Just as stubborn as his brother, King Jarrod came back to overthrow him, and thus began a back and forth war between the two brother kings. The country there for was split into side, the side who thought Jarrod was right to rule and the side that rooted for Oscar.

##### -Fun Facts-

* Arranged marriages are issued by the high council of Del Sol Valley. They can arranged marriages for any noble or royal, and their guardians nor they themselves have no say in it. The only way to get out is to pay a high indemnity or annul the marriage once the couple is married.
* Del Sol Valley is known for their impressive system of history recording. As most monarchies lose track of their history after ~100 years, DSV contradicts them.
* The first and earliest recorded monarch of Del Sol Valley was *Maharaja Varun* *"The Strong"*. Varun established the kingdom around the 1100's. He's the ancestor of many current monarchs of several different kingdoms.
* The last king (Maharaja) of Del Sol Valley before Ronan usurped the throne was King Abasi V. His grandparents were 4th cousins and thus he inherited bad genes. Abasi was declared insane and too incompetent to hold power. His wife, Maharani Jaya, was named regent while he was institutionalized. The original plan was for one of Abasi's aunt to ascend to the throne, but Ronan took power from Jaya unexpectedly, placed her in an institution, and made himself King; disinheriting Abasi's aunts from the crown.
