The death of the young and childless Quetzen XXIII threw the succession into turmoil, and effective organized military resistance to the Sons of Levantia ceased. The Sons established control over most of Western Quetzenkel, killing as many natives as they could find and sending the rest of the population flooding eastward as refugees. The temporary military government established in 2014 collapsed under the weight of the refugee crisis, beginning a civil war that would last until 2016 between several claimants for the Archchiefdom. The civil war would largely take the form of traditionalists on one hand, lead by claimant Achak III, and the so-called "internationalists", lead by claimant Quetzen XXIV, who claimed to be Quetzen XXIII's nephew. A temporary truce was established during the Urcean seizure of Cetsencalia to contemplate how Quetzenkel should respond, but the so-called "Truce Congress" quickly fell apart in October 2015 and fighting resumed. | The death of the young and childless Quetzen XXIII threw the succession into turmoil, and effective organized military resistance to the Sons of Levantia ceased.

Throughout 2015, [[Urcea]]'s intention to intervene in Quetzenkel was halted by objections to Varshan, with which Urcea sought to avoid war. Negotiations stretched through the year, as Varshan feared that a Urcean-aligned Quetzenkel would give the Occidental powers a "back door" entryway into Varshan, significantly weakening its ability to defend itself. Both sides reached an impasse, though Varshan was waiting to see the result of the 2015 Urcean Concilium Daoni election, which decisively returned a pro-intervention majority. The impasse would soon be broken, as Varshan was willing to cede Quetzenkel over to Urcean influence provided that Varshan retained some influence in the country as well. In late 2015 and early 2016, a Catholic Varshani entrepreneur and noble named Telucti Cheveyo launched a public relations campaign which included a peer-reviewed study of his own ancestry, which conclusively proved descent from Archchief Quetzen I. Cheveyo, sporting deep connections in Varshan and Urceopolis, claimed that his heritage and unique financial position gave him a "a sincere patrimonial and financial interest in the wellbeing of the Quetzenkeli state". Cheveyo's candidacy to rule Quetzenkel lead to accord between Varshan and Urcea. In mid 2016, [[Quicksilver Industries]]-armed and trained forces crossed from Varshan into Quetzenkel under Cheveyo's leadership, calling themselves the "Legitimists". In order to halt his advance, the internationalists and traditionalists agreed to form the National Unity Front in order to halt the advance of Cheveyo. The Legitimists, supported by Urcea's Royal Air Force captured Akwesasne by the beginning of September 2016, and by the end of the month the National Unity Front was effectively broken, allowing Cheveyo to form a Provisional Government. The Royal and Imperial Army was soon given permission to construct bases on the coast of the Nysdra, solidifying Urcea's presence in the country. | Throughout 2015, [[Urcea]]'s intention to intervene in Quetzenkel was halted by objections to Varshan, with which Urcea sought to avoid war.
