Editing Second Xiomeran Civil War (section)

===September 2020===

In a desperate move to regain momentum, Xochiuhue would order ASI to capture Olivia Pierre, the daughter of Kerlian Councillor Pauline Pierre, from a secret location where she was being held in Lauchenoiria. On September 6th, a deepfake video produced by ASI and the Xiomeran corporation ISTC was sent to Councillor Pierre. The video made it appear as if her daughter was being held by [[Libertas Omnium Maximus]]. Kerlile had agreed to join the coalition of nations which was backing Yauhmi, and Xochiuhue was hoping the video would distract Kerlile or even cause another war to pull nations away from the situation in Xiomera.

On September 12th, the government in exile, with support from Eiria, Legionas, Milintica and Kerlile, would launch an invasion at the city of Zapotlán. The invasion was aimed at splitting the Xiomeran Empire in two, and allowing the growing revolt in western Huenya to seize control and provide a base for the government in exile to topple Xochiuhue's regime. The invasion was initially successful, but eventually bogged down in fierce urban fighting.

On September 29th, the Netlcoātl Islands would formally declare independence, the first part of the Xiomeran Empire to do so.
