The '''First Fratricide''' was a military and social conflict in eastern [[Levantia]] that took place between the 1840s and 1870s. It was the first of the [[Fraternal Wars]] that took place in the [[Kingdom of Dericania]] during the 19th and 20th centuries.


The [[Kingdom of Dericania]]'s political establishment's decision to pass a series of laws calling for the secularization and mediatization of several ecclesiastical realms in [[Kingdom of Dericania|the Kingdom]], known as [[First Fratricide#Le_Crise_della_Dix|le Crise della Dix]], was the final straw for the [[Bergendii]] people. This event starkly highlighted [[Kingdom of Dericania|the Kingdom]]'s dismissive attitude towards [[Bergendii]] cultural and national identity, perpetuating a system of institutionalized inequality. As a result, the [[Bergendii]] people , primarily concentrated in [[Maritime Dericania]], felt compelled to seek independence and self-determination, leading to the creation of a [[Bergendii]] ethno-state, [[Burgundie]]. The subsequent outbreak of the First Fratricide was a direct consequence of the [[Kingdom of Dericania|the Kingdom]]'s failure to address the deep-seated cultural tensions and political disillusionment of the [[Bergendii]], making national independence the only viable solution to resolve the crisis.

The hundreds of principalities of the [[Kingdom of Dericania]] had long been supremely individualistic throughout the history of the [[Holy Levantine Empire]]. With the outbreak of the [[Third Caroline War]] in 1843 it was increasingly clear that the princelings needed to define themselves collectively and specify what Deric means so as to safeguard against further incursions from the Kingdoms of [[Urcea]] and [[Fiannria]]. Disparate nationalist thinkers were brought together to come up with a unifying concept on the culture. The academics from the "interior" or "northern" parts of the Kingdom had much in common and started to build an identify. Those of "coastal" or "southern" principalities felt their history and cultural idioms were being steamrolled. The cultural concepts they espoused were foreign to the rest. It was much more tied to "foreign" influence, especially those of the [[Istroyan]] and [[Audonia]]n cultures. Beyond that, the interior principalities were, on average, much poorer and agrarian than those on the coast. They had a far more isolationist attitude and still resented the coastal states for, in some cases, ignoring calls to the "southern crusades" in favor of personal gain in northern [[Levantia]], specifically [[Faneria]] and [[Yonderre]].

The [[Third Caroline War]] ([[1843]]-[[1848]]) is considered by many historians the single most direct precipitating factor leading to the First and subsequent [[The Fratricides|Fratricides]].

This territorial shift had far-reaching consequences, as it created a power vacuum in [[Kingdom of Dericania]] and exacerbated existing cultural and economic tensions.

The war also sparked revolutions in the [[Kingdom of Dericania]], as the influence of liberal reforms and the Aedanicad cultural revival in the [[Kingdom of Urcea]] inspired dissatisfied populations to demand change. The chaos of war and the withdrawal of the [[Royal Army]] created an opportunity for radical nationalist groups to capitalize on these sentiments, fanning the flames of ethno-linguistic resentment and anti-[[Bergendii sentiment.

The hundreds of principalities of the Kingdom of Dericania had long been supremely individualistic throughout the history of the Holy Levantine Empire. With the outbreak of the Third Caroline War in 1843 it was increasingly clear that the princelings needed to define themselves collectively and specify what Deric means so as to safeguard against further incursions from the Kingdoms of Urcea and Fiannria. Disparate nationalist thinkers were brought together to come up with a unifying concept on the culture. The academics from the "interior" or "northern" parts of the Kingdom had much in common and started to build an identify. Those of "coastal" or "southern" principalities felt their history and cultural idioms were being steamrolled. The cultural concepts they espoused were foreign to the rest. It was much more tied to "foreign" influence, especially those of the Istroyan and Audonian cultures. Beyond that, the interior principalities were, on average, much poorer and agrarian than those on the coast. They had a far more isolationist attitude and still resented the coastal states for, in some cases, ignoring calls to the "southern crusades" in favor of personal gain in northern Levantia, specifically Faneria and Yonderre.

Third Caroline War

The Third Caroline War (1843-1848) is considered by many historians the single most direct precipitating factor leading to the First and subsequent Fratricides. The war, fought between Urcea and the Holy Levantine Empire, but the Kingdom of Dericania specifically, and resulted in a decisive Urcean victory and the cession of the Grand Duchy of Carolina and most of Transionia to the Kingdom of Urcea. This territorial shift had far-reaching consequences, as it created a power vacuum in Kingdom of Dericania and exacerbated existing cultural and economic tensions.

The war also sparked revolutions in the Kingdom of Dericania, as the influence of liberal reforms and the Aedanicad cultural revival in the Kingdom of Urcea inspired dissatisfied populations to demand change. The chaos of war and the withdrawal of the Royal Army created an opportunity for radical nationalist groups to capitalize on these sentiments, fanning the flames of ethno-linguistic resentment and anti-[[Bergendii sentiment.

Le Crise della Dix

Following the cession of the Transionia region to Urcea at the conclusion of the Third Caroline War, ten Imperial Princes - most notably the Margrave of Carsula - were dispossessed of their land. The Imperial Diet - dominated by Derian members especially given the Recess of the Julii - decided to pass a series of laws calling for secularization and mediatization of several ecclesiastical realms in the Kingdom of Dericania in order to compensate the ten dispossessed Princes. The Imperial Diet formed a Commission on Compensation, which reported ten potential rearranged and secularized territories for the dispossessed Princes. Critically, all ten new realms were all in territory primarily made up of Bergendii people, and included fifteen Bishoprics, four Free Monastic Communities, and two Free Cities. While Bergendii representatives were initially supportive, it became evident that the Derian majority within the Diet - supported by the Emperor of the Levantines - would compensate Derian loss with Bergendii loss, beginning what was known as Le Crise della Dix, the Crisis of the Ten, a major diplomatic and political crisis between Derians and Bergendii within the context of the Holy Levantine Empire.

Social revolution

In the aftermath of the Third Caroline War the Kingdom of Dericania was ravaged by economic woes, with widespread unemployment, poverty, and food shortages. The once-thriving industries had ground to a halt, leaving once-prosperous cities and towns in ruins. The government, paralyzed by infighting and corruption, failed to address the crisis, leading to a complete breakdown in social order.

As the people suffered, a sense of desperation and disillusionment grew, fueling the rise of radical political ideologies. Secret societies and underground movements flourished, spreading revolutionary ideas and calls for drastic change. The air was thick with tension, as protests and demonstrations erupted in cities and towns across the Kingdom.

As a result of these economic woes, the Two Derics identity crisis, and the return of refugees from the collapsed Burgoignesc colonial empire, a wave of revolutions and protests swept across the Kingdom of Dericania, in the Fall of 1848. Demonstrations and uprisings erupted in cities and towns, as discontented citizens demanded political reform, economic equality, and cultural recognition. Radical nationalist groups capitalized on the unrest, fanning the flames of ethno-linguistic resentment and anti-Bergendii sentiment. As the Imperial Diet struggled to respond, a series of violent clashes between Bergendii and Derian militias broke out, culminating in the infamous Christmas Massacre of Carsula, where scores of Bergendii civilians were killed by Derian nationalist mobs in Verecundia. This event galvanized the Bergendii people, who declared common cause across Maritime Dericania and launched a full-scale rebellion against the Kingdom, sparking the First Fratricide. The war raged on for years, marked by brutal atrocities, widespread destruction, and a deepening chasm between the nations involved.

Bourgondii-Verecundian War

1849-1851 In March of 1849, the Duchy of Bourgondi and Estia invade Verecundia who had refused to compensate the families of the Bergendii who were killed in the Christmas Massacre of Carsula. The Bourgondi and Estia quickly occupy the town of Carsula and declared it an independent, unaligned microstate jointly administered by Bourgondi and Estia, that it may become a safe haven for Bergendii in the region. The Army of Verecundia is dispatched but is routed on April 14th when Volonderre cavalry arrive and attack the Verecundian rear.

Overland War

Bourgondi is fighting Marialianus to the east and Pumbria to the west while trying to establish a presence in the County Palatine of Estia, which they annexed.

Burgundie-Faramount Union

The Burgundie-Faramount Union is huge for Pau II because it keeps Faramount out of the war, as they refuse to fight, but the tax revenue allows him to continue to fight.
