Mivhan Civil War

The Mivhan Civil War (Mivhan: Urathara; Suwinan: Ratawra) was an armed conflict that lasted from 2039 to 2060. It was the deadliest conflict that ever took place in the Mivhan region, as well as one of the most complicated wars that ever took place in Cominore. It featured multiple sides and several independent militias and armed groups that took advantage of the chaos in the country.

Background
During the Mivhan Civil War, Mivha was still an independent country, not part of Kadaitska. For centuries, the central government in Coursil, consisting of the Mivhan Emperor and the nobility, had had a firm grip on the country by means of a feodal system that consisted of a complicated array of agreements with local tribes and warlords. Large chunks of the country were ruled by Mivhan princes, governors and other government officials that had secured control of their own part of the country. They paid taxes to the emperor and issued soldiers for the Mivhan army, but had almost complete control of their own region. Many tribes were also part of the Mivhan Empire while still holding a certain degree of self-determination.

This fragile system that depended on trust begun to fell apart when Emperor Logesjiavha died in 2038. His heir, prince Tamaly-Huronavha was assasinated in Tauseilla, immediately after the burial of his father. His assasination was arranged by the lord of Semeljabogara, a theocratic lordship west of Coursil. Semeljabogara, one of the most ancient parts of the Mivhan Empire, was inhabited by a caste of monks and thoujal ("enlightened men", people who assisted the monastery of Maracloia in northern Semeljabogara). Tamaly-Huronavha's sister, Asitavha, ordered the siege of Maracloia after the perpetrators of the assasination of her borther were caught and admitted that they were from Semeljabogara.
