Abzalia

Abzalia is a country on Arvald that started the main trilogy (consisting of Arvald 2, 3, and 4 [Arvald 1 is non-canon]) by kicking it off with the Abzalian civil war of 1 VY. The Verner year calendar had just been switched, but sadly the king of Abzalia just died, leaving three of his sons to claim the throne. King Zyral should have been succeeded by his eldest son, Prince Zirius, but the other two sons (Optem and Caster), decided to make a fight over it. After a tumultuous week in the Royal palace in Abzal, Caster moved to Firnostiri and began raising support for his ascent to kingship, prompting Optem to do the same. Within a month, complete civil war broke out and it lasted well into 2 VY with a victory on the behalf of Zirius, and peace talks mediated by the brother's mother Astara. Optem attended, but Caster had already fled the country sometime in early 2VY to Hollica, leaving his supporters to continue the fight without him in Abzalia. In Hollica, he had had an affair with a wealthy aristocrat and eventually got married, and they had spawned two children (Them being Freosi and Marckel). Having been summoned to Abzalia to attend the peace talks but not wanting to leave his new wife, he and her went off the grid, but he was apprehended by Hollican officials who were willing to comply with Abzalian demands in order to re-establish peace across the water. It was decided in Abzalian court that Caster would face sixteen years in prison due to war-crimes his troops were reported to have committed during the conflict. This essentially ended the Abzalian civil war, and instated Zirius as the de-facto king of Abzalia.
