The '''Third Suvani War''' (Suvan: ''Suvany Guravdugaar Dain''), formerly referred to as the '''Second Suvan Civil War''' during the short period before the war was escalated by Upper Suvania, is an ongoing multi-sided war in Western Yasteria surrounding the continual conflicts between the successor states of the Suvan Empire. Fighting began following the execution of the Prime Minister of Lower Suvania, Ukhnaagiin Khulan, after he made an attempt on the Suvan Khan's life in the Tugrikhota Palace. Groups such as the Army of Progress and the Suvani Socialist Republic escalated the severity of fighting when both began to work together, gaining footholds within Lower Suvania with the goal of taking advantage of the instability to seize territories for themselves. As the war escalated, foreign powers and volunteer troops began to take interest in the regional conflict, most notably [[South Hills]] and [[Asendavia]], who have pledged support for the Khan, with the former sending a considerable amount of troops to the region. Another notable foreign presence is that of the Pact of Rosaheim, with forces from [[Vistaraland]], [[Norgsveldet]] and the Western Provinces stationing themselves in the Northern and Western regions of Adelisia (Vistarian: ''Edalavia'') in order to discourage spill over and reinforce Vistari-Provincian territorial claims. The war is currently dominated by three main factions.
This includes the '''Elven State of Suvania (ESS)
Their main internal opposition is the '''New Khanate of Suvania (NKS)''', a broad coalition of Royalists, Conservatives, Liberals and Communist-Opposed Socialists brought together under [[Royalistic Populism]], Species Equality and promises from the Khan for a true [[w:Representative_democracy|Representative Democracy]] to be created following the civil war. The Khan has stated his support for using the [[Norgsveldet|Norgsveltian]] system, however this idea has been controversial within the already uneasy Coalition, with the more Leftist and Populist supporters of the NKS forming the Liberty-Labour Coalition under nominal support from [[South Hills]], while the pro-Khan mainstream - known as the Noble Opposition - is progressively rising in animosity towards the splinter group, keeping peace by necessity.
As well as [[Asendavia]], the NKS have been nominally assisted by some members of the Pact of Rosaheim, with Vistari Volunteers assisting in the war effort, as well as alleged non-combat support from the Western Provinces. This has also allowed cooperation between the NKS and the forces sent to assure security on the borders, with an informal agreement that no border forces will fire upon NKS troops so long as the border is respected. The NKS also has ''de jure'' dominion over the Crown Mandate of Khangrad in Arcturia, though due to their inability to assist in governance in the territory the City's Civil Administration has taken over a considerable amount of economic policy, assisted by monetary support from [[Ellesborg]] in order to maintain the status quo in the region. The NKS has retained several private security contractors, most prominently [[The Company of the Quill]].
The third major faction within the war is '''Upper Suvania''' and their allies, who launched an invasion into Lower Suvania on February 5th, 2021. Working alongside the Neo-Progressist Army of Progress ('''AoP'''), they aim to reunite Suvania through force, forming a coalition of Communists, Socialists and Secularists to oppose both the '''ESS''' and '''NKS'''. For their part, the AoP launched military operations in and around the province of Tsaizal. capturing large amounts of territory under the declaration of the '''Progressive State of Tsaizal''', claiming themselves as an Independent Nation allied to Upper Suvania. They have received mixed support from other Communist and Secular states, with [[Katyunon]] and [[Ekvatora]] being the only states currently giving open support to the SSR, a fact which has been extremely controversial amongst the Southern SRs of Ekvatora, who each have a considerable [[Akronism|Akronist]] population. This controversy resulted in the 3/3 protests in the Arlinthian Socialist Republic, when Akronist students and workers clashed with police and Ekvatori Militia over the munition donations made to the SSR.

=== Early Stages of the War (February-May 2021) ===
In April of 2021, the NKS contracted the services of [[The Company of the Quill]], a Packilvania-based private security firm. The Company agreed to an undisclosed sum in exchange for providing security services, military-grade training, logistical ground and air transport, and munitions support. Due to expansive protests of the military elements of the NKS and its allies, contractors have remained second and rear-echelon combatants and have not taken part in active fighting. Despite this, due to a number of incidents, seven contractors have been killed or have died during the war.
=== Summer Offensive (May-August 2021) ===
In early May, Quill contractors withdrew from the conflict citing their lack of directions and limited use. Captain Tomás Lacalandia is quoted as saying, "If you hire us, fucking use us. We've been sitting on our asses for weeks, running ammunition forty miles every few days. Not allowed to do anything without explicit permission either. Little wonder this garbage is going on so long."
==== Defection of the Cascadyjski ====
Following the outbreak of the [[Second Cascadyjski Civil War]], the regiment of troops that had sent to fight alongside the other troops of the [[Douglasa Accords]] were left stranded in Suvania, given no knowledge of the situation back home in an attempt to ensure they remained loyal to the Elven State of Suvania. Continuing to follow the commands of the ESS, they launched an assault into a heavily forested region of Eastern Tsaizal, soon becoming lost behind Tsaizic lines, losing contact with ESS High Command, as well as morale in their isolation. On the 28th of July, the forces were surrounded in their camp by a division of the Tsaizic Self-Defence Forces, who set off a blank and lit lanterns to alert the lookouts. After a short conversation, the Cascadyjski were informed of the situation in their homeland. Angered and discouraged by the sense that [[

==== Calls for Ceasefire ====
[[File:Petar Zoranić Square in Zadar.jpg|thumb|200x200px|People's Square, City of Zastava in Upper Suvania]]
Throughout September, discussions for a truce between the Liberty-Labour Coalition and Upper Suvania were suggested, intended to direct forces towards the ESS and their allies rather than continuing to waste resources in combat with each other. Preliminary talks were held in Zastava, Upper Suvania on September 9th., which were considered a 'mixed success' by both Upper Suvania and the Coalition These talks were nominally opposed by parties aligned with the
==== Ulaanuura Bombing ====
On October 12th, 2021, the detonation of a bomb, that was deemed 'to an almost certain degree' to have been planted by the [[Cryria|Cryrian]] Intelligence Service, in the Tsaizal-controlled village of Ulaanuura destroyed the poorly-built foundations of the local school that the Army of Progress had been using partly as a supply centre, while also - according to both Army of Progress sources as well as the Vistari Government via a report made in association with the General Directorate of International Development and Living Standards - still functioning as an educational institution. The building collapsed, killing around 30-40 civilians, as well as a number of AoP reserve troops, notably some which included AoP members born in [[Cryria]] and [[Ellesborg]]. While the attack gained little strategically, with a majority of the supplies having been retrieved, the bombing was notable as a rallying point for the Neo-Progressist movement in the region, with a majority of sympathy for the NKS in North-Western Tsaizal evaporating, despite the Khanate allegedly not having ordered or condoned the planting. The weeks leading up to the blast saw the release of leaked SÄPO reports through a number of social media outlets. The reports, later picked up by Cryrian News Networks, indicated that the Mandate of Ellesborg was thought to face a "significant risk" of AoP-sponsored attacks in light of recent actions undertaken by the group in the region. According to one of the few statements released by Abel Menstrat, such plans did not exist, further noting:
