Averbain Civil War

The Averbain Civil War was a large war that saw the Throne and the County Alliance fight many siege battles and some pitch battles from 1197 to 1202 (Years of the New Dawn) in the Kingdom of Averbay. It eventually saw Count Marcius Casril being crowned king after 7 years of conflict.

An overview
The reign of Doran Asanos, first of his name, was that of a tyrant. At his coronation in 1193 records state that many were killed to 'clense the streets of vermin'. By the second year of his reign a select group of counts formed an alliance, led by Oros Taradoc, and rebelled against Doran. Other factions brought themselves into the conflict such as the Esaj (Esaj'Norus) and the Nartelon. The crown was ultimately secured by Marcius Casril after the Battle of Black Moor, where both King Doran and Oros were killed as well as many other lords.

After the civil war, Marcius appointed new counts for every county (aside from the ones on his side of the conflict) and ruled until his death in 1237.

Aftermath
After the civil war, the cities of Ilcarter and Horkan lay in ruin following sieges that lasted a number of weeks. Thousands of Averbain, Esaj and Nartelon lay dead with some historians estimating that over 15,000 soldiers were killed and around 800-1000 civilian casualties in Ilcarter and Horkan.
