With the core regions of Faneria effectively lost before an effective resistance could be mounted, the Royalist generals in the Ninerivers instead fled west, fighting in [[Fhainnholdt]] and [[Mhartainnvail]] through the end of 1906 and early 1907. Much of the remaining Royalist army's organized forces were destroyed in the Western campaign, eventually failing to hold a defensive line along the [[Geography of Faneria|Caedrian Foothills]] and fleeing to Gleathan at the temporary capital of [[Rihsport]]. By the time Republican troops began to [[Siege of Rihsport|besiege the city]], most of the forces fighting for the Royalists were formed from volunteer units under the umbrella of the Volunteer Army for the Restoration of the Throne, which failed to hold the city after several viscous months of siege and fragmented into several smaller forces in Vrael, the northern provinces, and Srathlann. The Srathlann-Itheachan VAR units would surrender after crippling losses to defection and rebel action in March of 1907, with hardliners fleeing to [[Fiannria]]. This marked the end of realistic prospects of the monarchy winning the civil war, along with the initiation of a purge of socialist elements within the NRP by [[Callac Cananach]]. | With the core regions of Faneria effectively lost before an effective resistance could be mounted, the Royalist generals in the Ninerivers instead fled west, fighting in [[Fhainnholdt]] and [[Mhartainnvail]] through the end of 1906 and early 1907.

However, Antaine seemed uninterested in the actual affairs of state, fleeing to [[Maristella]] to wait out the war with a sizeable fortune. This left General Donaghue in overall command of the loyalist forces - a fact which continued to disadvantage the Royalists due to his reputation as an elitist and a firm believer in the superiority of defensive preparations in a war where the enemy now held the bulk of machine guns and artillery. | ||
