Thalassian Civil War

The Thalassian Civil War is an ongoing conflict between the forces loyal to Thalassian King, Revalor Suntorry against various resistance groups led by Hadvar Suntorry. Its primary goals were the right to self-governance by the Thalassian realms, the end of the reckless use of the Sunwell's powers, and the end to Revalor Suntorry's reign and expansionism.

Background
About 6 years prior to the start of the war, Revalor instigated a coup against his father's reign and assassinated him, claiming the Thalassian throne for himself and appointing his councilors to purge anyone who was against his rule. He exiled his own younger brother Hadvar to the Thalassian realm of Lofuel'Athash-Nethor to destroy or end any form of threat to his rule. He turned into a more aggressive stance in politics, hence he was eager to expand beyond Onth'Thalas's borders. He ordered the assassination of the Arracourtish King, Victor Emmanuel III to allow his son, Albert John I to rule as king. Revalor and Albert were close friends and had been longing for the expansion of their two kingdoms. Revalor eventually began a war with the Kingdom of Veldrun which was dubbed as Revalor's War of Expansion.

Revalor's reckless use of the Sunwell became another factor for the war. He had infused various magics towards the fount that granted his people more strength. The more that he tainted it, the more that his own people also grew to become addicted. The High Elves of Onth'Thalas not only began to show psychological changes, but they also had minor changes, such that their blue glowing eyes began to turn green as a result of their meddling with the Sunwell. This also began to affect the Elves of Fifalr'Shash and Lofuel'Athash-Nethor. During that time, Hadvar Suntorry knew that Revalor was meddling with the Sunwell, tainting and corrupting it. Hadvar's best friend, Solerron Lightpoem, a high priest and mage of the Holy Septian Church resolved that the only way that the Nethor Elves could prevent the further corruption is by establishing a new fount of power similar to the Sunwell. Knowing the consequences of creating a new fount of power, Hadvar accepted. With the enlistment of the Holy Septian Church, Orus Dei, and his close friend, Maya Lionheart; They created the Southern Well, which became a fount of power infused with arcane and the light. The Southern Well's creation began to reverse the effects of the corruption of the Sunwell.

Following this event, the Orus Dei, an organisation of Human Mages, Elven Sorcerers, and Orcish Shamans joined Hadvar's quest in overthrowing his brother's rule.
