First Infernian Civil War

The Conflict

Prelude

The Magmus dynasty's rule was first established by Yiyad Magmus after victory at the First Siege of Ignis Civitatem in 425. The rule of the Magmus dynasty was briefly interrupted in 494 after a successfully coup lead by the Eternia Dynasty put the Eternia Dynasty back in power for a few years. The Magmus Dynasty would regain power due to the humiliating defeat of the 496-497 Candelae-Lampian Border War causing the Eternia Dynasty losing support of the Empire. After regaining power once again, the Seprata Rula was signed in 498. This radical change in foreign policy led to more distrust the more expansionist and reformist factions in the Imperial Council. In the following decades, tensions rose when the current Magmus Emperor died without a male heir. In his place, the Imperial Council elected a member of the Eternia Dynasty to become the next emperor. However, before he was even crowned emperor, the Councilmen who voted for an Magmus leader held a separate election and voted Urtto Magmus as the true emperor. After many small skirmishes across the Empire, the Loyalists seceded from the Empire when the Sepila Constitution was signed in September 12, 523; officially starting the Civil War.
