Editing Acreage (section)

==About that War==

Yeah, so that medieval shoutout started by the death of Gordanus, the High King of Ascandia and Planetary Governor of Acreage. He had had a long and prosperous reign, and, like all good kings, he died in circumstances [[Blam|unexamined by most citizens]]. This left his twin daughters Rhozena and Rhozeia in direct succession to the throne. Unfortunately, Gordanus [[Fail|failed to name either one as his successor before his death]]. His daughters turned to their ultimate lord and master, the [[Emprah]], to determine which of them was to take both the throne and title of Planetary Governor and rule over all of Acreage.

Unfortunately, due to even [[FAIL|''MORE FAIL'']], an [[Administratum]] clerical error had 'tragically' [[EPIC FAIL|omitted the last two letters of the successor’s name from the reply]], stating only that [[Derp|Rhoze was now officially recognised as the ruler of Acreage.]] Initially the claimants were cordial with each other and sent a series of requests for clarification. However, these seemed to fall on deaf ears and no further responses were forthcoming. The Administratum scrivener responsible for the initial mistaken missive, had in fact concealed the matter to avoid being chastised.

Suffice to say, patience wore thin and the mother of all sisterly rivalry erupted. In a matter of weeks each had amassed the support of dozens of lesser <s>nobles</s> SIMPS, each willing to simp their way through their chosen queen’s claim to the throne and prove it with the blood of their citizens. The resulting conflict dragged on for at least five years with neither of the Rhozes gaining much in the way of an advantage, due in equal parts to the primitive nature for their mostly blackpowder and steel weaponry and the nearly [[Tzeentch|Tzeentchian-levels of political hijinks]] from their nobles, [[Just As Planned|many of whom would change allegiance several times a day, often in the midst of a battle.]]

The civil conflict has actually increased the Imperial tithe, as both claimants frantically try and outdo each other in their service to the Imperium, in the hopes of receiving the external support necessary to oust their rival. This has also led to the Administratum department responsible for the initial error [[Herp|admitting to their involvement]] while [[Bullshit|bullshitting]] the dubious claim that the error was in fact a [[Just As Planned|carefully crafted ploy to increase tithe rates]]. However, given that the war poses no threat or disruption to the planet’s role within the Imperium, it has mostly been ignored by the Adeptus. The stalemate and apparent lack of any external intervention has contributed to the likelihood of a protracted conflict with no end in sight.
