[center][b][u]The Great Civil War of Formaroth[/u][/b] The Remonnet-Mandarass Civil War (also known as the Formaroth Civil War, or the Great Civil War of Formaroth to scholars) was a bloody, and brutal war that occurred on the year 492 A.R. Though House Mandarass declared war upon the Remmonet’s, many believe the Remonnet’s to be the reason for the true cause of the war. King Helyot Remonnet (brother to King John, also known as [i]The Mad King[/i] ruled during the time of the war. Heylot is considered to be the absolute worst, monarch that Formaroth ever had to rule its vast, and expansive lands. Heylot was a tyrannical ruler; violent and cruel, as most members of the court, and many citizens believed the King to be insane. With the help Evelyn Tuania, at the time, his Head Advisor, he caused the debt of the crown (resulting in higher taxes for citizens all across Formaroth), and wrongfully sentenced to death for suspecting them of treasonous crimes, even so much as lying, and sentenced many mages in Nyhem to be burned at the stake for suspicion of use of dark magic, which was heavily scrutinized under his rule. Eventually, Uwais Mandarass, part of House Mandarass, spoke out against the tyrant king, claiming that his madness would be the undoing of all of Formaroth. Seething with rage, Heylot vowed to punish Uwais for speaking out against him, and for making him look like a fool, and claimed him to be a traitor against the throne. Upon the capture of Uwais in the Sypius Plains, Heylot had the newly proclaimed conspirator hung in the center of the Bazaar, and then drawn-and-quartered. The remains of the Uwais Manshrew were left in the square, for all to see, and for the birds to peck out his eyes. When Andris Mandarass learned of the brutal execution of his beloved brother, he openly declared war upon Heylot, vowing to overthrow him, and remove him from the throne of Formaroth. The many kingdoms of Formaroth were divided between Remonnet, for there were those that feared Heylot, and Mandarass, as there were people who desired change. The civil war lasted for two years before Heylot travelled to Uzgob, to single-handely overthrow Mandarass. However, on the desert sands of Uzgob, the armies of Mandarass, and Remonnet met face-to-face. There, Andris personally drove the blade of his sword into the Mad King’s beating heart, finishing him off once and for all. The remaining supporters of Heylot were tracked down by Patrick De Reimer, part of House De Reimer, and slaughtered; House De Reimer switched allegiance in support of Mandarass. Instead of pursuing those in Uzgob, Patrick targeted the unprotected city of Nyhem. Evelyn Tuania is rumored to have been assassinated by Alasdair De Reimer himself with a poisoned dagger, which further solidified his nickname as [i]‘The Snake’[/i]. However, these rumours have little evidence to support this theory, as there are many that do not know what happened. Upon the end of the Formaroth Civil War, Andris Mandarass proclaimed his support for the new king, John Remonnet, as he promised to right the wrongs of his brother. [u][b]Houses that supported Remonnet[/b][/u]: House Tunia of Telmarion House Du Paraquette of Sypius Plains House Greensworth of Orog House Neptuna of Akki House Blackwell of Alenius House De Reimer of Cawanor (Formally) House Sutharlan of Raeldar House Staghain of Thralreth [u][b]Houses that supported House Mandarass[/b][/u]: House Mazeltof of Ralda House Humber of Coruneon House Lanistark of Glarmion House Wulfrick of Nash House Willow of Alenius (destroyed during the war) House De Reimer of Cawanor (Turncoat) [b][u]AR 490[/u][/b] Uwais Mandarass was executed in Nyhem. [hider=King Heylot's High Council Members] [b][i]Evelyn Tuania[/i][/b] - Head Advisor - A corrupt and brutal Woman, Evelyn is considered to be just as responsible for the chaos caused in Formaroth as Helyot was. As Helyot preferred to spend his time torturing his citizens to ruling his kingdom, Evelyn spent most of her time ruling the country in his stead. Instead of using her power and influence to help Formaroth however, she used it to consolidate her own power and removed anyone who stood in her way with extreme ruthlessness. [i][b]Borin Montagu[/b][/i] - Advisor of War - Originally a lord of Uzgob, Borin was exiled by Uwais Manshrew for his poor treatment of the peasants that lived on his land (many rumor that he hunted them for sport). He was brought onto the high council due to his battle experience with fighting the mountain tribes that bordered Uzgob. In return for his loyalty Borin had free reign to do what he wanted to the underclass and working class of Nyhem, including assault, theft, rape and killing them for fun. He is a dark skinned man who has a very neat and gentlemanly persona and appearance, which hides his true personality of a sociopathic sadist. He would be in his mid forties [i][b]Gregory Du Paraquette[/b][/i] - Advisor of Economics - A distant cousin of Edward Du Paraquette, Gregory was just as corrupt and twice as repulsive. A slimy, fat, lazy man who along with Evelyn were responsible for the bankrupting the crown. He has no respect for anyone he believed are bellow him and would treat them little better than animals. He would be in his early sixties.
