The Aurian Civil War was a conflict in Auria in Eastern Caxcana which took place between 2021 and 2024. The conflict included over four factions, and also involved a number of foreign nations including Eiria, Lauchenoiria and Milintica on the side of the Aurian Government-In-Exile. Coytōchte Security Services Corporation (CSSC), a mercenary company from Xiomera was also involved on the side of Sarah Berenstein, with many believing the Xiomeran government was behind their intervention.

Timeline[edit | edit source]
Beginning[edit | edit source]
The conflict began on June 21, 2021 when groups of dark-clothed individuals attacked a number of buildings in the Aurian capital of Lumiere. Some of the groups wore badges with the slogans of the NewNation movement, a prominent group associated with conspiracy theories known for causing unrest. The group attacked the treasury, parliament building, and the residence of the Prime Minister. Prime Minister Jacques Lapointe and his wife Eve Lapointe were both captured and executed. The execution was filmed and uploaded to social media.
Queen Regent Sophie Laurent fled Auria to Eiria alongside her family, a number of members of parliament, and a detachment of the Aurian Navy on the day of the coup. The governments of Eiria, Lauchenoiria and Huenya quickly announced their support of the remnants of the Lapointe government. Meanwhile in Lumiere, Representative Sarah Berenstein announced that Andrew Laurent-Ćordonnier would be crowned King.
Lapointe Agreement and Blockade[edit | edit source]
On July 24, the Eirian Senate voted to form an official alliance with the Aurian government-in-exile. The agreement was termed the Lapointe Agreement after the late Aurian Prime Minister and authorised Eirian forces to operate within Aurian jurisdiction when accompanied by an Aurian force. Two days later, Lauchenoiria signed a modified version of the Agreement, joining the alliance.
On August 1, Andrew was crowned King; and the Aurian, Eirian, Lauchenoirian and Huenyan navies began a blockade of Auria in an attempt to prevent further shipments of weapons from Xiomera to those behind the coup.
On August 8, a Huenyan naval vessel fired a warning shot over a convoy of Xiomeran merchant ships attempting to reach Auria. Two days later, on August 10, shots were fired at First Minister Sarah Berenstein outside the Aurian Parliament Complex, however she was uninjured.
On November 17, a car bomb went off inside Desmarais Royal Logistical Base in Western Auria. In response, the Cordonnier government placed the country under martial law, and announced an 8pm curfew. CSSC also began openly moving forces into the cities to “assist in maintaining order”.
Eirian-Lauchenoirian invervention[edit | edit source]
On March 5, 2022, Lauchenoiria announced they were withdrawing from the blockade. However, it later transpired that this was a falsehood designed to allow covert weapons shipments to rebels in Auria fighting against the Cordonnier government. On March 19, 2022, a group of rebels managed to take control of Queen Marija Naval Base near Côte-Verte in the south of Auria.
The following day, Xiomeran forces part of CSSC began a counter-attack on the naval base from the air.

On May 11, King Andrew was allegedly killed by explosions in downtown Lumiere. The explosions were blamed on General Jean-Claude Michelin by Acting Prime Minister Jonathan Gerand several hours after the event. Gerand, shortly after making the accusation, was shot dead by an unknown assailant suspected to be a Cordonnier loyalist due to chanting at the event.
