The '''Charter War''', sometimes known as the '''Four Years' War''', was a major Novaran conflict
Over the course of the war, Tretrid was able to obtain the tactical and operational upper hand but was ultimately unable to capitalize upon it as the war brought it to the brink of bankruptcy. It instead settled for a white peace in the Treaty of Nervino in 1809 but was able to extract reparations from Lapinumbia and Celanora to lessen its own debt burden. As a result, the Charter War has often been described as a partial Tretridian victory, as it was able to achieve all its war goals, limited as they were by strategic constraints.
The war has been credited with mobilizing nationalism as a significant political force in West Novaris. The Charter War also ensured that liberalism stayed firmly rooted in Novaris through Tretrid's and Seccera's constitutions. Both nationalism and liberalism would play a factor in Novaran history throughout the rest of the century.

Both constitutions successfully quieted down republican opposition to the Tretridian and Secceran monarchies and served as a beacon to liberals throughout West Novaris. However, the case of Tretrid in particular proved quite worrying to much of the rest of West Novaris, as it was feared that in adopting a constitution, Tretrid was encouraging revolution and was therefore threatening the aristocratic privilege of most of those in power outside Tretrid and Seccera.
In response, Lapinumbia and Celanora agreed to form an alliance against Tretridian agitation, which soon grew into a coalition. What resulted was a breakdown in diplomatic relations between Tretrid and its neighbors in the coalition, until continued disputes over the status of Cerilezzo led Celanora to declare war on Tretrid in
