==The Second & Third Civil Wars [310 - 314 XY]==
The Second Civil war began on 310 XY after a major event in Ceironias history - the first attempted conquest of Kashini. Thousands of warriors strutted across the great interior Steppe on their way to conquer what was known as the Kashini Horde at the time, and integrate them into Ceironia. However, at the beginning of the voyage, the Imperium Ceironium was met with internal strife as the highly influential Lord Adius raised a sufficiently large army several hundred thousand in strength. The Imperium Ceironium was forced to recall its forces after repelling the Kashini horde away from the inland of Ceironia, its men made the long march back. Thousands perished in the march back home. From starvation, to dehydration, to Kashini raids.

The homeland raised thousands more to fend off the Southern Imperium lead by Lord Adius. These men were tired of war but were simply left no choice. They were trained as quickly as possible and sent to an army group in the south, about 380,000 vs 250,000. This outnumber advantage meant Adius had to be very strategic in his actions as the Ceironians held much more in terms of manpower and in reserves in the primary army. Adius would begin marching north, crossing a river just north of modern day Brordgrad. Adius began to use his cavalry to scout the Ceironian position and used his smaller army to hook north and away from the Ceironians. However, as more reserves showed up Adius found himself cornered and unable to advance.
Few returned back home to Ceironia ready to fight against Adius's forces. Thousands more were conscripted from the imperium's countryside. This lead to major resentment to the government in Latango, however, to them it was seen as a worthy sacrifice it meant the imperium would continue. The now grown forces were on a level playing field with the Adius legions. Their first battle was only a few hundred km away from modern day Zirthu, on a river crossing. Adius excellently used his cavalry to pose a massive distraction, making it seem like his force was heading towards the coast. This managed to elude the inexperienced ceironian generals - who sent most of their forces south. Adius used this window to cross the river at night, with the cavalry in the south baiting additional ceironians across the rivers then picking them off in skirmishes.
 
 
Lord Adius lead the primary force against the weakened Ceironian side guard. They were expertly smashed through with minimal losses and heavy casualties inflicted on the Ceironians. Adius's forces pushed south and with the assistance of some loyal townsfolk in the region being used as recon, as well as the cavalry in the south further distracting the now only remaining force in the area, Adius's legion smashed straight through the Ceironian formation, ending the battle in but a few hours. Adius began his march to Latango before eventually arriving and forcing a surrender.
 
Adius made the decision to attack an isolated segment of the Ceironian army - quickly crossing a river at the crack of night and attacking in morning when the Ceironians were just awakening. Their morale was low and the Ceironians were quickly pushed back by Adius's morally superior and more mobile task force. Due to this the Ceironians began to rapidly consolidate and prepare a counteroffensive. While this is happening, a separate small ceironian force crossed the river south of Adius and moved to rapidly flank him. The larger task force moved to engage, in a bid to distract Adius. The attack began and was quickly devastating for both sides. The fortified Adius troops against numerically superior Ceironians resulted in nearly ~50,000 deaths in 2 hours. Adius moved to disengage but found himself cornered. He moved north but his army was exhausted. He made the choice to surrender about 3 days after the initial crossing into Ceironia, with nearly 150,000 losses taken and about 180,000 inflicted. However, this was not the end.
