The Upheaval Wars was a series of conflicts that lasted from 513 AO to 517 AO in which each major power of the Dormian Continent took part, and which saw the capitulation of previous states and the political transformation into the modern countries of Dormia. The Upheaval Wars began with a concerted invasion of the Auroran Republic from the Kingdom of Vesper which then incited civil wars among both the kingdom and the republic.


Vesperan Conquest

The Vesperan Conquest began in early 513 AO with the mass mobilization of Vesperan forces for a surprise attack on Aurora. Simon Rex IV led over half of the forces of Vesper, about 13,000 troops, across the Sea of Horses along with his trusted advisor Mitlargo Thistlehouse, as well as the Sorcerer King, Enil Nile. Simon believed his forces were largely invulnerable to magic, the presumed weapon of Auroran choice, due to widespread use of black armor. The Vesperan army also supplemented its forces with summoned celestials and elementals. Fearing the loss of the element of surprise in his campaign, Simon decided to attempt a decapitation strike on the de facto head of the Auroran government, the Trifecta, before the rest of his army could amass on the republic's lands. On March 11, 513 AO, the Vesperan army amassed in the fields outside the city of Trabem, preparing to strike.


Hours before the attack was to begin, the Risen enacted the Unsealing, completely invalidating the anti-magical properties of the Vesperan black armor, as well as the arcane bridges utilized by both sides throwing the armies and cities into chaos. Unbeknownst to king Simon, the sorcerer king Enil had secretly plotted a revolt on the crown in retribution for the subjugation of the Sultan peoples, and had garnered loyalty from half the Vesperan forces. Taking advantage of the situation, Enil directed a surprise attack on the commanders of the Vesperan army known to be loyal to the crown, beginning the Battle of the Trifecta.
