==== Second Kin War and the Saelish Issue ====
==== Second Kin War and the Commonwealth ====
FIannria and Faneria had mutually agreed to break up the crusader state of [[Saelin]] in 1745 as part of the [[Saelish Partition]]. In this deal, Saelin had become a neutral rump state along the Nordskan coast, while Fiannria had taken parts of the more heavily populated and forested eastern coast and Faneria had annexed large swathes of less-desirable territory in the drier continental interior. After the [[Second Kin War]], the two nations had accepted a white peace, but Faneria had annexed the remainder of Saelin immediately thereafter. Faneria reaching the Nordska coast was a strategic coup, as it allowed some measure of bypassing Caeric taxes on the Kilikas-Nordskan Straights and effectively cut Fiannria off from integrating the region as planned. After the Second Kin War failed to counter Faneria's annexation of Culriocha, Fiannria had suffered two major geopolitical setbacks in the Eighteenth Century at Faneria's hands.
{{Further|West Vandarch War|Second Kin War}}
 
The preceding [[Second Kin War]], fought over Faneria's annexation of the [[Faneria#Transisthmus|Transisthmus]] states in the 1770s immediately prior, had ended with a white peace in the form of the Treaty of Aucey. In effect, the treaty was designed to mock the Fiannrian state by being named for a pivotal battle site in the [[West Vandarch War]], and effectively legitimized the conquest of the Kingdom of [[Culriocha]] and subsequent impressment of neighboring [[Lorea]] and [[Nahe|Namve]] as nations in {{Wp|real union}} with the Fanerian Throne. The continued occupation of Fiannria's former ally Culriocha, despite a popular uprising against the Fanerian garrison in 1798, played a significant part in the decline of the [[League of Culfras]] and the formation of the [[Fiannria|Commonwealth of Fiannria]] in 1803. One of the new Fiannrian government's primary mandates in its early years was preparation for a future war with Faneria to force the emancipation of the Transisthmus.
 
==== The Saelish issue ====
{{Further|Saelish Partition}}


Fiannria and Faneria had mutually agreed to break up the [[Saelin|Kindgom of Saelin]] in 1745 as part of the [[Saelish Partition]]. In this deal, Saelin had become a neutral rump state along the coast and Saelish Archipelago in a personal union with Faneria, with Faneria directly annexing a large swathe of highland territory in the continental interior. The [[League of Culfras]], unable to seriously contest the inheritance of the Saelish throne by a Fanerian monarch at the time, had accepted territory in the eastern Archipelago and coast offered as compensation for its inaction. Regardless, Fanerian dominance over Saelin allowed Vandarch-based trade to bypass Caeric taxes on the Kilikas-Nordskan Straights and interrupted Culfran plans to integrate Saelin as a member of the League.


For its part, Faneria continued to grow as a regional power, with Fhainnin expansion seemingly unstoppable and pro-war politics at a fever pitch. The major target of the Kingdom's ire at this point was in the eastern Vandarch-bound territory of [[Costbán]]. Costbán was the last part of the northern Vandarch not controlled by Faneria and a sore spot in Fhainnin culture as far back as its annexation by [[Great Levantia]] in the [[Gallian Wars]]. While Fiannria had since assumed control of Costbán, Faneria still considered it theirs by right both through a large Fhainnin minority and by geographic sense.
These territories became a lever for future conflicts, as in 1794, mere months after the conclusion of the Second Kin War, Rih [[Cywir Suthar-Màrtainn]] declared himself Protector of the Saelish People and bound Saelin to Faneria as a personal posession of the Throne. In doing so, Faneria created a permanent justification for future wars against the Fiannrian state, with the only mitigating factor being Cywir's death in 1799 finally bringing less militant leadership into power in the west. Following his inheritance of Hollona-Diorisia, comments by Rih [[Luthais Suthar-Màrtainn|Luthais Suthar-Màrtainn's]] comments on wishing to integrate his posessions in Saelin into the Holy Levantine Empire dashed hopes for a thaw in relations and presented an alarming scenario where a Fanerian monarch friendly to the Emperor permanently disempowered Fiannria and Dericania.


==== Commonwealth of Fiannria ====
==== Costbán territorial dispute ====
The second major cause of conflict was more telated to the nature of Fiannria itself. Having reformed into a more united Commonwealth, Fiannria posed a significant challenger to Fhainnin security and expansion, and breaking this new state in psyche or fact was considered a key step to continued Fhainnin ascendancy in northern Levantia.
Costbán ([[Fhasen|Fhs]]. and  ''Costaban'') was the last part of the northern Vandarch not controlled by Faneria and a cause of concern for Fanerian irredentism as far back as the Tenth Century A.D., when the Grand Duchy of Costaban was integrated as a member state of the Holy Levantine Empire. In the following centuries, Costbán had come to represent an ethnic Fhainnin population not subject to [[Fhasenization]]. Furthermore, attempts by Faneria's government to arrange an intermarriage between the Throne and Costabanic nobility had failed, only to be followed by Costaban being admitted into the League of Culfra in 1755. Faneria's government still considered it theirs by right both through ethnic and old linguistic ties, with Costaban being separated from the wider Empire by the [[Hadraeon Mountains]]. Its being the natural launching point of any campaign into the Vandarch from Fiannria exacerbated the urgency with which Fanerian military planners and the [[Throneswatch]] wished to push Faneria's border to a stronger natural boundary than the [[Deir River]].


==== Holldoner succession ====
==== Holldoner succession ====
{{Further|Hollona and Diorisia}}
{{Further|Hollona and Diorisia}}The final provocation for the war laid in Fanerian diplomatic policy; in 1817, Elector Name Agreiter of [[Hollona and Diorisia|Hollona-Diorisia]] died without an heir. As a result, Rih [[Luthais Suthar-Màrtainn|Luthais]], through his mother Banrih-and-Princess Maria Agreiter, became King of Hollona and Diorisia in addition to his pervious inherited titles. This personal union granted Luthais a seat as an elector within the [[Holy Levantine Empire]], which represented a significant shift in the balance of power present in the early years of the [[Recess of the Julii]]. With the [[Second Caroline War]] having concluded in 1805, a Fanerian elector stabilized the position of the [[Emperor of the Levantines]] and opened an array of diplomatic avenues for the Throne to isolate Fiannria and ingratiate itself with Imperial institutions. More alarming was the continued pattern of targeted intermarriage with neighboring states, which appeared to signal either an intention to put Hollona-Diorisia in a real union with Faneria.
