Civil War of the Confederacy

The Civil War of the Confederacy was a war fought between the Confederate Army and the Oed Rebels. The war lasted 2 battles and two months.

The Cause

The war was the result of Paris d'Lagua receiving the promotion to Supreme General of the Confederate Army. When Turse d'Lagua and Yira d'Oed were married, it was agreed that an Oed man would receive the promotion when it next opened. Turse claimed the promise was never made and was supported by 9 other families. Many of those families joined because they actually believed Paris was more deserving and fit for the job but could only secure his promotion by siding with Turse. The Oed Family was supported by 2 families who remembered the agreement being made and believed Turse d'Lagua, a man often accused of being dishonest by the nobility of smaller families, had to follow through with such a significant promise.

One family, the Teyyder Family, chose to remain out of the conflict because they did not support the idea of a civil war and because they rarely had need of the Confederate Army so were not too concerned with its inner governings.

The Battles

The Battle of the Blue River was a battle led by the Oed Rebels against the levying Confederate Army along the populous cities of the river. It ended in a slight victory for the Rebels who did nearly halt the recruitment process in that area by assassinating officers during the battle, but they were forced to retreat when on the 5th day Confederate reinforcements arrived from the East and prepared to cross the river into Oed territory in full force.

The Siege of Oedhom was the second and final battle of the war. The Rebels, exhausted by their efforts in the first battle fell back far into safe territory to rest, leaving only small garrisons to harry invading forces before they met the main Rebel force. The Confederates blazed through Oedian territory, slaughtering rebels who failed to surrender. After a few weeks of travel, the Confederate Army met the Rebel Army across a large field outside the Oed Family Castle. The Rebels surrendered when they saw how many troops they were fighting against and how well-prepared they were. Paris d'Lagua, the Supreme General, accepted the surrender, but only after each rebellious noble swore their allegiance back to the Confederacy and agreed to pay hefty reparations for the relatively few damages incurred by the war.

Some say Paris was too harsh on the Oed Rebels, but since the war those three families have been redeemed in Confederate eyes. The Oed family has produced some of the most loyal subjects in Confederate history since the war, as have the two other rebellious regions.
