The Wivamovian rebellion was an insurrection of Wivamovian nationalists against the Commonwealth of Blackthorn. It started as a result of Arkstadt withdrawing from the Commonwealth, declaring its intention to depose the current leadership and to establish its elite as the new ruling government.
First assault
On March 2, 13 AC, in cooperation with their allies, Wivamovian troops pushed out of Arkstadt. An attempt was made for a rushed victory when the main army group marched to set siege to Zethortal, the Commonwealth's capital. Following heavy resistance from the Commonwealth troops, Wivamovia sent out separate siege parties to take control over the northern regions of the nation and establish in process a buffer zone between Arkstadt and the rest of the Commonwealth.
Guldhir was captured first, followed by a siege on Anishavokia, after the party left to defend Arkstadt decided that no real counter-siege was to be expected on their city. While Wivamovian forces were moving past Fort Khirom to reinforce Zethortal, the town suddenly surrended and was taken under occupation as well.
The long pushes through enemy territory meant that the Wivamovians were risking a larger front, which would stretch out their supply lines and reinforcement deployment times. Zethortal was still offering tough resistance and was slowly starting to win back ground outside the city. This prompted Wivamovians to turn back to a position where they could stabilize the front line.
