During his schooling, Cananach joined the North Levantia branch of the World Socialist Party, attending meetings and discussing literature and theory on economic systems and representative government. He later broke ties in late 1886, claiming the Socialist Party was obsessed with transforming Faneria into "a monarchy without a face, where the State is an unchecked king that cannot die." | During his schooling, Cananach joined the North Levantia branch of the World Socialist Party, attending meetings and discussing literature and theory on economic systems and representative government.

At the outbreak of war on February 18th, | At the outbreak of war on February 18th, 1888 with Fiannria, general conscription took effect, with Callac being counted as an economically noteworthy and thus draft-immune person. At 25 years of age, his contract with FCPC had expired the year prior, and Cananach signed up for the position of quartermaster of the 113th Royal Infantry Regiment due to his cousin Collin Macnyth being conscripted into the 113th. He was trained as Leftenant-Quartermaster of the 95th Artillery Regiment for a month, arriving to the front in May mere weeks before the armistice. In the final days of the war, his regiment took part in the disastrous Gaoth Offensive, with the regiment's headquarters seeing direct combat after the Army of the North was cut off and captured by the Fiannrian army. Cananach refused to speak of his personal combat experiences beyond acknowledging his status as a veteran, repeatedly downplaying his role as being "nothing but a bureaucrat with a rifle". Cananach's cousin was killed in the fighting along with 514 others of the regiment's eight hundred men, as the 113th endured significant artillery bombardment and skirmishing on the southern flank of the Army of the North. Cananach reportedly suffered no physical injuries. | ||
After the war, Cananach, like many in the army, received an honorable discharge and returned to his prewar job; however, the loss of significant territories along the Vandarch coast caused a dramatic economic downturn along with the loss of connection with many peoples' family members in the territories ceded to Fiannria. Common among the public was the idea that the ''Rih'' had surrendered as soon as the war he started had turned against Faneria, signing a disproportionate peace. In fact, the ''Rih'' had been captured during the same offensive Cananach participated in, and had been forced to sign a humiliating peace treaty at riflepoint. Cananach's own job was secure, but he devoted a significant proportion of his time to feverishly writing his first work, ''Crown of Bayonets''. | After the war, Cananach, like many in the army, received an honorable discharge and returned to his prewar job; however, the loss of significant territories along the Vandarch coast caused a dramatic economic downturn along with the loss of connection with many peoples' family members in the territories ceded to Fiannria.

Itheachan and Srathlann fell to the NRPA in March 1907, and Gleathan was captured by late May, securing the Republic as the legitimate Fhainnin government. The Socialists made considerable gains during this period, and saw success fighting Royalist forces, but were unprepared to themselves be purged from the Senate and the revolutionary movement, with many of their supporters peeling away to join the Republicans or breaking down into infighting over leadership. Their temporary alliance with the Republicans had allowed Cananach's men to gain an awareness of their operations, making rooting out their cells a matter of tipping off local anticommunist veterans' organizations. In addition, some elements within the Republicans themselves were cast out, though not violently as the Socialists were. | Itheachan and Srathlann fell to the NRPA in March 1907, and Gleathan was captured by late May, securing the Republic as the legitimate Fhainnin government.
