No, when the Blackwaters returned home there was still another 3 or 4 years left in the war. I don't remember the exact number, but there was still a while.

That is what Brand said to me while I was making my Blackwater. I went off of there being three years left in the war when I wrote Lucien's bio. The Briar's coup happened approximately fifteen to sixteen years before the current RP time.
