Quetzenkel front: Difference between revisions

In [[2013]], a [[Quetzenkel#History|civil war]] erupted in [[Quetzenkel]] which was exacerbated by the arrival of the [[Sons of Levantia]] terrorist group in [[2014]]. The invasion of the Sons of Levantia created a major succession crisis and dissolution of the country into rival factions. [[Varshan]] warned [[Urcea]] not to intervene until [[2015]], when a negotiated settlement between both countries recognized Telucti Cheveyo's claim to the country. Cheveyo, a Varshan-born [[Arzalism#Caste_System|warrior caste]] billionaire who converted to [[Catholic Church|Catholicism]] and resided in [[Levantia]], was viewed as a candidate that would allow both countries to retain some influence. In mid 2016, [[Quicksilver Industries]]-armed and trained forces crossed from Varshan into Quetzenkel under Cheveyo's leadership, calling themselves the "Legitimists". The Legitimists prevailed by the end of the year, and [[Telucti I]] was proclaimed the first King of Quetzenkel. Disappointing Varshani policymakers, [[Quetzenkel]] immediately join the [[Nysdra Sea Treaty Association]] and did homage to the [[Apostolic King of Urcea]], definitively aligning the country with [[Urcea]]. Over the course of the late 2010s, [[Urcea]] and other Occidental powers considerably invested in Quetzenkel, leading to major economic development and rising standards of life.  

Despite its clear geopolitical defeat, [[Varshan]] would not forget what they perceived as the betrayal of Cheveyo. Varshani leadership perceived that the presence of a Urcean-aligned [[Quetzenkel]] posed a significant threat to Varshan's soverieignty, and the country began military planning for the invasion of Quetzenkel in the event of war between [[Varshan]] and [[Urcea]].
