Historically the towns [[Fqra–Uuepi Rivalry|had been rivalled]] for several hundred years over a plethora of reasons: from cattle disputes and denominational differences to personal feuds. The activities of houses [[ɴ/House of Thlipara|Thlipara]] and [[ɴ/House of Yetma|Yetma]] served as the primary instigators of conflict, which throughout the 2300s to 2400s resulted in multiple periods of open warfare between the towns. The [[ɴ/Proclamation of the Cralasian Order|re-establishment of Cralas]] in 2431 saw a temporary nulling of the rivalry, as [[Isme-ma Wardescha|Ismem-ma's]] [[Birth of Isme-ma Wardescha|reincarnation]] led a [[ɴ/Great Ismemai Awakening|Hong-wide religious reawakening]], which in [[Wardeschanism|Wardeschan]] areas unified many of the denominations.
The implementation of the [[ɴ/Matqhiqep|Matqhiqep]] saw [[Local Governance in the Cralasian Order|townships]] having to go through [[ɴ/Government of the Cralasian Order|national government]] for almost all changes. Several years following its adoption, people from both towns had began to abuse the overwhelmed bureaucracy with little oversight. In April 2447 a new dispute arose over the same land being granted to both towns, which was realised after people had marched their cattle into the same grazing land. In an attempt to impose their ownership, members of Thlipara stole hundreds of cattle overnight under the guise of requisitioning stolen goods. Yetmans responded by culling over a hundred cattle owned by Uuepi and reacquired their own cattle the following day. A skirmish occurred on the outskirts of Uuepi, killing over
For the next six years, the residents of Fqra, Uuepi and the two families would continue to antagonise one another. Trlera successfully prevented the two towns from being able to abuse the ineffective bureaucracy but would be replaced by another wardsgatra in early 2453. Unaware of the underlying problems in the administration of Cralas, the towns reverted back to abusing the system. The killing of [[ɴ/House of Thlipara#Members|Thlipara Qanqa]], the heir to his house, during a bar brawl on the 24th of September, led to hostilities beginning between the two families rekindling. The Thliparans responded by setting a Yetman [[ɴ/Skyshard|skyshard]] manufactory on fire, who reciprocated starting a fire in the outskirts of Uuepi at night which resulted in several dozen dead and many houses being
On the 2nd of October, [[ɴ/Thlipara Elim|Thlipara Elim]] requested fifty-six tonnes of explosives "for the purpose of expanding Uuepi's mining enterprises to support Cralas' war effort". The likelihood of a bureaucrat to automatically accept a request from the [[ɴ/Qlara|Qlara]] caste was extremely high following the outbreak of the [[ɴ/Great Northern War|Great Northern War]], and so Thlipara's request was fulfilled. Over a hundred people from Uuepi were recruited to transport the several dozen tonnes and over the next week during night-time they rigged the side of a mountain to explode in [[ɴ/Fqra Mine|Fqra Mine]], which was intended to destroy a segment of the town. Before all the explosives were rigged, a Yetman drug running on the 9th discovered the Uuepi operation and called for backup, starting the [[ɴ/Battle of Fqra|Battle of Fqra]]. For several hours the militias of Fqra and Uuepi fought until the latter successfully detonated the explosives at 7:34am on the 10th, about ten minutes before a Cralasian battalion arrived to intervene.
The explosion resulted in the entire mountain side collapsing on itself and destroying almost the entire town of Fqra, which hugged the mountain alongside a lake formed by the Fqra Gorges Dam. The force of the avalanche also damaged the dam severely, and after several hours at 12:30am, it collapsed.
