Three Cities War (concept)
Occurring in Eastern Aironoi during the final years of Aautokratir Anesimasios' reign, the Three Cities War was a revolt by the eponymous Three Cities League, who felt that Anesimasios' attempts to bridge the east and west would result in Aironoi losing much of its power. The League, led by self-proclaimed 'Sub-Aautokratia' Delendea Bhatajarrax, demanded a six-fold decrease in tariffs, exemption from several mercantile laws, as well as granting Delendea control over the East-River Magistariate. Delendea was even heard to loudly proclaim that she would kill Anesimasios herself should their demands be left unsatisfied.
In response, Anesimasios ordered the embargo of goods coming from the three cities, in an attempt to resolve the issue without bloodshed. An incensed Delendea unexpectedly ordered the League's forces, along with a contingent of Kashiryan mercenaries, to attack Imperial forces stationed in the area, causing the destruction of several Aironoian noble legions caught unawares.
The death of Aautokratir Anesimasios and the ensuing Imperial Civil War resulted in the rebellion being left unchecked for two years, leading an increasingly insane Delendea to declare the region's independence from Aversaria. In 1188 IS however, Axiaothea—seeking to solidify her power base—arrived at Eastern Aironoi and easily crushed the rebellion with her legions. Axiaothea executed Delendea herself and put to death her entire dynasty, along with all of the League's major leaders.
