The '''West Vandarch War''', or the '''First Culriochan War''', was a conflict that took place from 1771-1773 between [[Kingdom of the Fhainn|Faneria]] and an alliance of Culriocha, Prevalia(?), Falney (?), and Ryeva(?) (Rosney, you'll need to lmk which are extant statelets at the time and whatnot). In what began as an issue over succession to the throne of Culriocha by a Martainn-dynasty cadet branch, Faneria invaded and occupied Culriocha, outright annexing it in 1773. The war was a major shock to the geopolitics of Northern Levantia and in particular in [[Fiannria]], which had been in talks to formally create an alliance with Culriocha to counter Fhainnin expansionism. The occupation of Culriocha and its allied states was a direct cause of the [[Second Kin War]].

The West Vandarch War, or the Culriochan War, was a conflict that took place from 1771-1773 between Faneria and an alliance of Culriocha, Lorea, and Ryeva. In what began as an issue over succession to the throne of Culriocha by a Martainn-dynasty cadet branch, Faneria invaded and occupied Culriocha, outright annexing it in 1773 and forcing Lorea and Ryeva to accept clienthood. The war was a major shock to the geopolitics of Northern Levantia and in particular in Fiannria, which had been in talks to formally create an alliance with Culriocha to counter Fhainnin expansionism. The occupation of Culriocha and its allied states was a direct cause of the Second Kin War.
