The Battle of Eia

The Battle of Eia was a worldwide flash-conflict as a result of a well organised uprising by the Peoples' Republic of Eia, comprised of House Amberfern Loyalists, the Tokahni Republic and the Satese Armed Forces against the military might of The Ignasdiate in 1794. Planned over a decade during the oppressive reign of Ohstwin I Staigus, son of usurper Riven I, the Peoples' Republic sprung out of their curfews and fought against the Primonarch's forces in what would be the most major conflict since The Third Emergence.

The varying leaders of what be collectively termed the People's Republic spent years plotting the downfall of Ohstwin's reign, working slowly and cautiously to bring more followers into the movement. It was planned so that the uprising would occur on the day before a major event was set to take place, ultimately being the Primonarch's belated 3rd wedding, as both an element of surprise and humiliation.

New Ehvylus was the site of the main battle, in which both The Tokahni Republic and The Satese Armed Forces invaded the city from the South-West while the rioting was underway. A small fleet belonging to the House Amberfern Loyalists lead by Irridwen Lonemount, a former Ignasdiate high-ranking officer, supplied air support to the rebellion in the city. The aim was to destabilise the military as quickly as possible and force the Primonarch to surrender before reinforcements could arrive. A similar uprising began in Starhalm, where factories and military sites were assaulted, ships were stolen and Ignasdiate forces were captured.

Meanwhile, the convenient distraction allowed Tias I Amberfern to infiltrate the ruins of Old Erwood and complete his mission to destroy the last of the Rinstone hidden beneath the old Palace.
