Sein Civil War
Political eventIn fighting and bickering left Sein weak after its attempted invasion of Nedesdia, and so the church began to step in to try and prop up the collapsing government. Eventually, the people turned on the aristocracy, who continued to fight each other, and the church, leading the country into even worse a place, so they began working to dismantle the power they held. Fearing a similar situation to that which was seen in the Nagnan Civil War, only thirty two years prior, many of the aristocrats fled south, seeking safe harbor in the fledgling nation they just tried to destroy. With the influx of money, however, the Nedesdians had no means to reject their former invaders. In Sein, there was a relatively peaceful transfer of power from the aristocrats who remained to the church lead counter party. There were a few minor battles in the west, thus granting the event its title of civil war, but frankly, it is little more than an exaggeration.
