By the end of the first decade of the 21st century, the Veltorine people living in Brudxaan faced rapidly deteriorating material conditions and social position. Now in their second or even third generation, many Veltorines had become agricultural workers, soldiers, or other non-specialist positions which were of little use to the Quetzen people. As their utility and conditions declined, the Veltorines began to be the subject of scorn to the other Quetzen and indigenous peoples they lived alongside. For a time, the state was able to maintain order and prevent violence, intermittently making attempts to integrate the Veltorines into Quetzen society. Those efforts came to an end as [[Quetzenkel#21st_century|Quetzenkel descended into political chaos]]. Archchief Honau V's death in 2013 inaugurated the reign of Quetzen XXIII and a traditionalist regime, which began a crackdown on Veltorine civil rights. The Veltorines launched an insurrection aimed at seizing control of Brudxaan, becoming a combatant in the [[South Nysdra War]] now consuming Quetzenkel. A Veltorine assassin killed Quetzen XXIII in early [[2014]], plunging the country further into civil war and ending the ability of the Akwesasne government to project power into Brudxaan. By mid-[[2015]], the Veltorine militias were nominally in charge of the territory, but the coalition of Veltorine leaders began to fragment while facing indigenous guerillas. An inter-Veltorine civil war appeared likely in [[2016]] as the general Quetzen conflict intensified, but events would soon unfold such that a relatively unified Veltorine state would be established by the end of the year. | By the end of the first decade of the 21st century, the Veltorine people living in Brudxaan faced rapidly deteriorating material conditions and social position.

[[Urcea]], following intense negotiations with [[Varshan]], began intervention in the South Nysdra War. | [[Urcea]], following intense negotiations with [[Varshan]], began intervention in the South Nysdra War. The first phase of the intervention occurred relatively peacably, with a de facto ceasefire in effect between retreating Quetzen forces and arriving [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal and Imperial Army]] personnel. The Royal and Imperial Army established a broad security perimeter around the country and also stationed a large occupation force in Qozala largely to prevent ethnic violence. The Urcean government established a temporary rectory of Cetsencalia and then used the area as a staging ground to implement regime change in [[Quetzenkel]]. The new King, [[Telucti I]], recognized the partition of the country and ceded the western territories to Urcea. | ||
Urcea established a rectory government largely related to the military administration of the territory, but invested civilian authority immediately within the [[Cetsencalia#Veltorine_Social_Council|Veltorine Social Council]], the official body representing Veltorine interests within Urcea and Urcean territories since [[1984]]. The Council began to accelerate Veltorine resettlement into New Veltorina, beginning the major social distinction between [[New_Veltorina#Culture_and_society|feros and the Brudxi]]. The Council generally represented transfero culture, with its senior leaders being highly educated academics or business leaders who sought to shape the country in the image of countries such as [[Pelaxia]] and [[Cartadania]]. Between [[2016]] and [[2019]], a massive push for urbanization in the territory began, with a specific focus on creating Veltorine cities. Chief among these was New Taxades, the new administrative center of the territory. New Taxades became the site of significant investment and concentration of migration. Internally, many of the extant Brudxi population began to depart the agricultural sector and the city of Qozala for New Taxades and other new settlements, changing the demography of Qozala and the hinterlands into overwhelmingly indigenous areas. | |||
In [[2019]], the Urcean government adopted the [[Cetsencalia#Government|Crona Organic Act of 2019]], establishing Cetsencalia as an independent {{wp|constitutional monarchy}} with the [[Apostolic King of Urcea]] as Prince of Cetsencalia and the Veltorine Social Council becoming the upper chamber of the Principality's legislature. The new Veltorine Principality of Cetsencalia experienced demographic and economic growth in [[2019]] and [[2020]] as infrastructure began to spread across the country and New Taxades forming the new political, social, and economic hub of the area. | |||
