The First Aivintian Civil War, also known as the War of Aivintian Succession, was a national civil war that lasted from the assassination of Geoffrey Dale in 1798 to the Treaty of Aslough in 1801. The war was waged between three belligerents - the authoritarian zealots of the Aeternal Ascendancy, the constitutional monarchists of the New Kingdom of Aivintis, and the radical democrats in the Aivintian Republic. Over 600,000 soldiers took part in the various battles of the war, with over 225,000 killed in the fighting. This was the bloodiest war in Aivintian history up to that point, which caused widespread fear of another civil war, fear that was exploited by the resulting government. The war crippled Maven autonomy, stifled any hopes of democracy in the near future, and began a period of religious persecution that was eventually picked up by their successors.
