The '''Hegyhát Wars''' were a series of three wars fought during the Proto-Imperial Era primarily between the [[Hegyhat Empire]] and a variety of tribes for control over the [[Imperial South]]. Later renditions of the war saw conflict over control of the [[Imperial West]] and the [[Imperial Centra]]. The [[First Hegyhat War|First]] and [[Second Hegyhat War|Second]] Hegyhat Wars constituted the [[Southern Conquest]], which encapsulated the growing expansionism of the Hegyhat Empire. Both wars were fought by the highly organized Empire against a variety of unorganized disparate tribes in an effort to expand their control. The first war was fought over control of the areas of [[Hegyhat]] and [[Kaposvar]]. The second war was fought over the control of the Sivatag region, which now includes the counties of Nagykallo and Kiskallo. The [[Third Hegyhat War]] was the largest of the wars where the Hegyhat Empire fought a coalition of allies led by the [[Jeno Principality]].

The '''Hegyhát Wars''' were a series of three wars fought during the Proto-Imperial between the [[Hegyhát Empire]] and a variety of [[List of Imperial Tribes|tribes]], primarily for control over the region of the [[Imperial South]]. The wars originated in political strife specifically between the Imperial Tribes of the [[Hegyhát people|Hegyhát]] and the [[Kaposvár people|Kaposvár]] from [[Hegyhát-Kaposvár Proto-Imperial conflict|frequent tribal violence]]. The [[First Hegyhát War]] was a local conflict in the Imperial South, between the Hegyhát Empire and five different tribes surrounding it. The [[Second Hegyhát War]] was fought over control of the far-eastern region of the Imperial South. These two wars constituted the [[Southern Conquest]] that encapsulated the formation and subsequent expansionism of the Hegyhát Empire. The [[Third Hegyhát War]] was the largest of the three and was fought on the border of the Imperial South with the [[Imperial West]], the [[Imperial Central]], and the [[Imperial East]]. To date, the Third Hegyhát War is the largest war fought within the Proto Imperial Era and involved a coalition of allies against the Hegyhát Empire.  


The [[First Hegyhát War]] was precipitated by several tribal conflicts instigated by Hegyhát Empire against its neighboring tribes. This escalated until the mythical [[Doryottan Kidnapping]], a series of {{wpl|mass abductions}} and {{wpl|looting|lootings}} that were committed by an organized force by the Hegyhát Empire against [[Kaposvár people|Kaposvárans]], [[Tapolca people|Tapolcans]], and the [[Szada people|Szadans]]. Most of these tribes were weak and fractured compared to the centralized Hegyhát Empire. These lootings were often violent, brutal and methodical where female Hegyhát soldiers would invade villages and murder the females within that village. Subsequently, men and children were abducted and sold off into slavery, or forcibly married to Hegyhát warriors. These men could also be sold into {{wpl|sexual slavery|slavery}}, as abducted men under the societal rules of [[Hegyhát matriarchy]]. The [[League of Independence]] was established between the Kaposvár, Tapolca and Szada, with the [[Csemő people|Csemő]] and [[Vasad people|Vasad]] joining. However, many of these duchies were unorganized and led to their scattering at the [[Battle of Mezőcsát]]. The [[Looting of Csepel]] was the final battle in the war, but by that point the only remaining Duchy that had not capitulated was the Duchy of Vasad.


The first two wars began on orders of the [[Empress of Hegyhat]] that caused the Hegyhat Empire to garner an extremely negative reputation as untrustworthy. The Third Hegyhat War also began on orders of the Empress of Hegyhat to address concerns of ethnic [[Hegyhat people]] and their treatment by the Jeno. The invasion caused a suddern outpour of support from the Felfold Confederation, the Northern Coalition and the Eastern State, three powerful countries that helped the Jeno Coalition against the Hegyhat Empire.  
The [[Second Hegyhát War]] began when the [[Sivatag Confederation]] declared war against the Hegyhát Empire, in an effort of attempting to stop its growing expansion into the far-eastern region of the Imperial South. The Sivatag Confederation consisted of six different tribes: The [[Székely people|Székely]], [[Nagykálló people|Nagykálló]], [[Kiskálló people|Kiskálló]], [[Bagamér people|Bagamér]], [[Vén people|Vén]], and the [[Őr people|Őr]]. The Sivatag Confederation was decisively defeated, however the Hegyhát Empire was never able to fully control the regions the Sivatag possessed.

The [[First Hegyhat War]] and the [[Second Hegyhat War]] were both considered to be total Hegyhat victories against the disorganized tribes and the annexation of tribal territories. The Hegyhat victories solidified the position of the Hegyhat as the most powerful state within the Proto-Imperial Era until their defeat in the [[Third Hegyhat War]]. The loss at the Third Hegyhat War signaled the downfall of the Hegyhat Empire and its inability to truly go against a unified force. After the end of the war, the Hegyhat Empire began to engage in diplomacy.
The [[Third Hegyhát War]] began when the Hegyhát Empire launched an [[Hegyhát Invasion of the Imperial Central|invasion of the Imperial Central]] against the [[Jenő Federation]], where they crossed the [[Csóványos Line]].

The Hegyhat Wars created huge shifts in culture and demographs within the Imperial South. The annexation of the areas around Kaposvar, Nagykallo and Kiskallo had extremely detrimental effects on the demographics of those regions. [[Hegyhat matriarchy]] on a social scale saw the decreasing female population of certain tribes alongside a rising female Hegyhat population. The most affected by these tribes were the [[Székely people]] and the [[Hajmáskér people]], the Székely females being the primary target of the [[Orsolyan Genocide]] and the Hajmáskér people suffering from the [[Kaposvar Exodus]].
The [[Third Hegyhát War]] began with a Hegyhát invasion of the [[Imperial Central]], crossing the [[Csóványos Line]] and beginning the [[Storming of Kossuth]]. The invasion was precipitated over increasingly bitter negoigations between the Hegyhát and the Jenő over refugees and migrants coming from the Imperial South towards the cities of [[Kossuth]] and [[Ásotthalom]].

The Hegyhát Wars were a series of three wars fought during the Proto-Imperial between the Hegyhát Empire and a variety of tribes, primarily for control over the region of the Imperial South. The wars originated in political strife specifically between the Imperial Tribes of the Hegyhát and the Kaposvár from frequent tribal violence. The First Hegyhát War was a local conflict in the Imperial South, between the Hegyhát Empire and five different tribes surrounding it. The Second Hegyhát War was fought over control of the far-eastern region of the Imperial South. These two wars constituted the Southern Conquest that encapsulated the formation and subsequent expansionism of the Hegyhát Empire. The Third Hegyhát War was the largest of the three and was fought on the border of the Imperial South with the Imperial West, the Imperial Central, and the Imperial East. To date, the Third Hegyhát War is the largest war fought within the Proto Imperial Era and involved a coalition of allies against the Hegyhát Empire.

The First Hegyhát War was precipitated by several tribal conflicts instigated by Hegyhát Empire against its neighboring tribes. This escalated until the mythical Doryottan Kidnapping, a series of mass abductions and lootings that were committed by an organized force by the Hegyhát Empire against Kaposvárans, Tapolcans, and the Szadans. Most of these tribes were weak and fractured compared to the centralized Hegyhát Empire. These lootings were often violent, brutal and methodical where female Hegyhát soldiers would invade villages and murder the females within that village. Subsequently, men and children were abducted and sold off into slavery, or forcibly married to Hegyhát warriors. These men could also be sold into slavery, as abducted men under the societal rules of Hegyhát matriarchy. The League of Independence was established between the Kaposvár, Tapolca and Szada, with the Csemő and Vasad joining. However, many of these duchies were unorganized and led to their scattering at the Battle of Mezőcsát. The Looting of Csepel was the final battle in the war, but by that point the only remaining Duchy that had not capitulated was the Duchy of Vasad.

The Second Hegyhát War began when the Sivatag Confederation declared war against the Hegyhát Empire, in an effort of attempting to stop its growing expansion into the far-eastern region of the Imperial South. The Sivatag Confederation consisted of six different tribes: The Székely, Nagykálló, Kiskálló, Bagamér, Vén, and the Őr. The Sivatag Confederation was decisively defeated, however the Hegyhát Empire was never able to fully control the regions the Sivatag possessed. Many of these areas were unhospitable by the Hegyhát.

The Third Hegyhát War began when the Hegyhát Empire launched an invasion of the Imperial Central against the Jenő Federation, where they crossed the Csóványos Line. The Hegyhát quickly captured the Jenő cities of Kossuth and Asotthalom, but were then vastly outmatched by the Salgó Union. As the Salgó pushed back against the Hegyhát, the Hegyhát sought to then

The Third Hegyhát War began with a Hegyhát invasion of the Imperial Central, crossing the Csóványos Line and beginning the Storming of Kossuth. The invasion was precipitated over increasingly bitter negoigations between the Hegyhát and the Jenő over refugees and migrants coming from the Imperial South towards the cities of Kossuth and Ásotthalom. Word of the invasion spread quickly and the Eastern Kingdom sought to provide military aid. Furhter support was given by the Northern Coalition.

The Hegyhát Wars had significant effects for the Proto-Imperial Era, which caused the spread of the need of unificationism. It saw the radical decline of power of tribes within the Imperial South and the breakup of the Hegyhát Empire, the largest state that was ruled by a single tribe within the Proto Imperial Era. Despite their devastating loss in the Third Hegyhát War, the Hegyhát Empire was still considered a formidable state in its weakened state. Two tribes, the Székely and the Hajmáskér saw total extinction of their female population due to the Orsolyan Genocide, as their tribes were targeted by Orsolya I, the Empress of Hegyhát.
