As a result, when reigning Rih [[Ruaridh Suthar-Màrtainn]] was confronted with the issue in 1900, he attempted to sidestep the issue entirely, ordering yet more arrests of Republican thinkers and removing the clause entirely from the Constitution. He did so with the Senate's approval due to their being largely his own appointees, but later backtracked after a serious riot in [[Sethsport]] in 1901, allowing a controlled minority party to exist within the Senate called the Reformists under the prominent republican [[John MacRenyth]]. This appeared to be an acceptable compromise with liberal elements of society, allowing them a say, albeit a ceremonial one, in government. | As a result, when reigning Rih [[Ruaridh Suthar-Màrtainn]] was confronted with the issue in 1900, he attempted to sidestep the issue entirely, ordering yet more arrests of Republican thinkers and removing the clause entirely from the Constitution.

==== Bombing ==== | ====Bombing==== | ||
On February 15th, 1906, members of a republican group bombed a railway bridge over the [[Mull River]] underneath a royal train, killing Ruaridh and Rethysear Suthar-Màrtainn. This made one of Rethysear's nephews, Glen Wynnys-Màrtainn, next in line to the throne, but he refused the crown and joined the Reformists in support of temporarily putting off a coronation. Considering this a power play by the republicans, the Senate majority ejected the Reformists, who proceeded to meet with Callac Cananach's Republican Front, creating the National Republican Party. | On February 15th, 1906, members of a republican group bombed a railway bridge over the [[Mull River]] underneath a royal train, killing Ruaridh and Rethysear Suthar-Màrtainn.

After the formation of the NRP, the Throneswatch put out bounties on its leadership, with MacRenyth being killed in a march on the Royal Palace in Oirthidún on February 27th. By this point, army defections and uprisings were becoming a serious issue, as Cananach's faction of the NRP was still agitating for a revolution. MacRenyth's death heralded the end of any possible peaceful resolution, and on February 28th, another royal cadet branch member, [[Donnal Wynnys-Màrtainn]], was crowned by General Donaghue Wyddin, his uncle and a close associate of the Throneswatch itself. | After the formation of the NRP, the Throneswatch put out bounties on its leadership, with MacRenyth being killed in a march on the Royal Palace in Oirthidún on February 27th.

====Senate Coup==== | |||
The Vicars of [[Vrael]], [[Dunlann]], and [[Connsmonann]] refused to recognize Donnal, siding with Glen Wynnys-Màrtainn and de facto joining the Republican umbrella. Within the month, a large number of Royal Army units defected, breaking apart or joining the uprisings en mass. In response, the Royalists disbanded the Senate, declaring a state of national emergency and ordering outright attacks on Republican-held cities and defectors. | The Vicars of [[Vrael]], [[Dunlann]], and [[Connsmonann]] refused to recognize Donnal, siding with Glen Wynnys-Màrtainn and de facto joining the Republican umbrella.

With violence escalating, the NRP held its own Senate without the Royalists, declaring the monarchy to be over and making Faneria a republican state. This lead to the siege of the capital quarter of [[Oirthidún]] by elements of the Royal Army before defecting units and protesters expelled them from the city. | With violence escalating, the NRP held its own Senate without the Royalists, declaring the monarchy to be over and making Faneria a republican state. This lead to the siege of the capital quarter of [[Oirthidún]] by elements of the Royal Army before defecting units and protesters expelled them from the city. Rih Donnal attempted to personally broker a peace with the rebels, but his relative, General [[Jonah Lohr-Màrtainn]], chose to defect, delivering Donnal into Republican custody and defecting to the Republicans along with tens of thousands of men. This largely lead to the collapse of Royalist support in the lower Ninerivers. | ||

==== | ====Faneria Proper==== | ||
====Vrael==== | With the core regions of Faneria effectively lost before an effective resistance could be mounted, the Royalist generals in the Ninerivers instead fled west, fighting in [[Fhainnholdt]] and [[Mhartainnvail]] through the end of 1906 and early 1907. Much of the remaining Royalist army's organized forces were destroyed in the Western campaign, eventually failing to hold a defensive line along the [[Geography of Faneria|Caedrian Foothills]] and fleeing to Gleathan at the temporary capital of [[Rihsport]]. By the time Republican troops began to [[Siege of Rihsport|besiege the city]], most of the forces fighting for the Royalists were formed from volunteer units under the umbrella of the Volunteer Army for the Restoration of the Throne, which failed to hold the city after several months of siege and fragmented into several smaller forces in Vrael, the northern provinces, and Srathlann. The Srathlann-Itheachan VAR units would surrender after crippling losses to defection and rebel action in March of 1907, with hardliners fleeing to [[Fiannria]]. This marked the end of realistic prospects of the monarchy winning the civil war, along with the initiation of a purge of socialist elements within the NRP by [[Callac Cananach]]. | ||
====Vrael-Sleiban Campaign==== | |||
====Lyukquar and Culriochan Independence Movements==== | ====Lyukquar and Culriochan Independence Movements==== | ||
During the initial uprisings in 1906, separatists in both [[Culriocha]] and [[Lyukquar]] had risen up, attempting to declare independent states. This met with mixed success, namely with the crushing of Protestant militias in Lyukquar by the Ninth Royal Army stationed there in anticipation of conflict with [[Caergwynn]]. Culriochan sepearatists met with more success, declaring a provisional state in mid-2006 and fighting parts of the growing VAR forces until the Siege of Rihsport. After Rihsport, Culriochan forces were able to hold the Prevalian Isthmus for several months until Republican forces circumvented them with uncontested amphibious landings along the Vandarch coast, routing the militias and forcing the provisional government to accept a status as a semi-independent region within the new government system. | |||
