Zloran War for Independence

In 120 AW, the duchy of Zlora rose up to fight for its independence from Galavnaya. Its strategic location on the Southern Sea made it desirable for several other neighboring nations and Zlora made a treaty for military aid with Chereladi and Kargasa, then a sovereign nation.

The Conflict

Prelude

Before 120, Galavnaya's king appointed an overseer to the Zloran peninsula. The appointed leader frequently had only the crown's interests in mind while making decisions which impacted the citizens of Zlora. Unrest grew until several small groups began harassing Galavnayan official trade routes and travelers coming to and from the port city of Rix Ahme. When the Duke Apparent of Eventide, Amir Morgan was killed in a conflict with Galavnayan agents on the Belhage River, Zloran citizens cried out and called it assassination. Chereladi responded politically by denouncing Galavnaya and pledging their military support to Zloran freedom fighters. Kargasa followed suit several months later and Galavnaya finally declared open war with Zlora and its supporters in 120.

Outcome

While the war raged, the majority of Galanaya's sea trade was cut off, as the ports of Piredave on the Crystalgar River, Rix Ahme on the Belhage River and Snowden on the Kepess River all lie within Zloran territory. With Zlora's stranglehold on the primary port cities, they were in an excellent position economically to negotiate with Galavnaya. Supported by Kargasa's navy and Chereladi's financial contributions, Zlora withstood attack from Galavnaya and pushed back until they won their independence in 125.

Aftermath

Zlora remained allied closely with Chereladi, most recently by political marriage between Crown Prince Geruff Hadleigh II and Duchess Aurora Morgan.
