### The Civil Wars

The 3 civil wars that took place in this time have to most Violent battles in Henviren history,

#### **The first Civil war**

The very first civil war started in, GE 6 to GE 8, only 2 years but around 600 men still died, but not from gunfire, the handy cannon was so inaccurate that you would miss your target 75% of the time, most people really died from the smoke the Handy Cannon released, and even if you did hit the target even in the head, it wouldn't be enough to kill them, they would be badly hurt by the musket ball but there was not enough force to pierce the skin. it started as the king was a fair man, but his son tried to kill him, his son was power hungry and greedy, however the king survived the attack and people started taking sides, the prince fell when his ship attacking the new port city Hapiteino but got caught up in a storm and went down with his ship, the king would have a daughter only 2 months after the war ended

#### **The Second Civil War**

Nobody is entirely sure what started the second civil war, unlike before this wasn't a battle between the east and west this battle was between the northwest and the southeast, this civil war lasted from GE 201 to GE 304, not only did this war last quite some time but the smell of rotting corpse in the air did to, thanks to multiple issues deaths reached 5,000 rifle men and 3,000 civilian deaths do to a couple of factors, factor 1: heavy cannons, these cannons where big new and devastating, many old fortresses became ineffective at protecting people and those who did survive where often crushed by falling buildings and rocks, half the time this isn't even what killed you, you would slowly starve to death under the rubble. factor 2: disease, at the time a deadly sickness appeared in Henvire this effected both men on the field and civilians in there homes it was eradicated do to Henvires crazy temperature jumps it was gone next summer, factor 3: better guns, better guns at this time where a big deal and people where getting more than just a bruise's from musket ball's now, it ended when government corruption stopped in the south east

##### **No Death on This day!**

in the last 5 years of the war, Riflemen on both sides would lay down there arms on Founders day, it was a day to celebrate who they are, they are all Henviren after all, battlefields would become game fields, enemy generals would play chess with each other, enemies would even wish each other good luck and help the injured no matter what side you where on, on this day it didn't matter. sadly the next day after it would all go back to being a blood bath

#### **The Great Division**

or just the 3rd civil war, this was and still is the deadliest war in Henviren History, it started when a new ambassador was elected and instantly started showing hate to the north side of Henvire, he first banned the day of the fallen in the south, when embastors from the north heard about this, they got made and made a agreement with the king, the king made an acouncement that day of the fallen in the south was unbanned, the embastor responded with a death threat to the king, this was the spark that lit the fire, people where taking sides more than they ever did, and the battles began. if you need more info in this check out The Great Division
