War of Luthori Succession

The Luthori Crisis of Succession in 2560-2561
The Luthori Crisis of Succession in 2560-2561 is by many considered to be a major international crisis, and has quickly developed from an internal vote in the privy council of the Holy Luthori Empire to a conflict involving Luthori, Alduria and Hulstria, as well as loyalists and republicans within the Holy Luthori Empire.

Origins and background
Like other monarchies of Terra, Luthori have had a latent conflict between monarchist forces, known as loyalists, and republican forces. During the course of much of the 26th century, the Luthori imperial family had developed strong family ties and strong bonds to the young monachy of Alduria, a newly emerged great power in Seleya. The Emperor of Alduria, Philippe Villayn II is married to the daughter of William III of Luthori, and according to a wide array of treaties, the both nations should protect the mutual existence of monarchy. During the turbulent reign of Philippe Villayn I of Alduria, Luthori offered the imperial family protection during several years in the 10;s and 20;s of the century.

Thus, when the government of Luthori illegally started to change the constitution, utilising the absence of the orangist faction, Alduria quickly reacted against the crisis, and started to send veiled threats of intervention into Luthori.
