The Gothic War, MC 2026-30 , was a major military conflict primarily fought between the forces of the Golden Throne and the Scandinvan Empire. Although the war began in Theohuanacu after the instigation of a rebellion by the Scandinvans, the fighting quickly spread to Nicaro and Scandinvan-territory in Gholgoth after both countries suffered largescale armed invasions by the Golden Throne. The war ended in MC April 2030, with the signing of an alliance between the two warring powers in exchange for an end to the Scandinvan slave trade in Greater Dienstad and the complete withdrawal of Macabéan forces from Gholgoth.
Prelude to War
- Theohuanacu had fallen into disunity during the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
- Northeastern area, Zeeland, was rich and strong, closely tied with Guffingford.
- The western coastline was a loose confederation of cities and local tribal polities.
- The southwestern coastline was a confederation of slave-trading city-states, known as the Theohuanacu pirate cities.
- The Golden Throne invaded and occupied Theohuanacu in the aftermath of the War of Golden Succession, as an early move in its cold war with Stevid. This includes the occupation of Tarn(?).
- Initially the western and southeastern cities were left to their own devices in return for contributions to the Imperial Levy (taxes) on Theohuanacu.
- Two rebellions between occupation and Gothic War are crushed, leading to the imperial reorganization of Tlaloc. Paleneque and Tiwanaku left as the center of the slave trade in central Greater Dienstad.
- Palenque and Tiwanaku earn large revenues selling luxury slaves to the Scandinvan Empire.
- Scandinvan Empire lends financial and material aid to a rebellion in southeastern Theohuanacu against the Golden Throne, hoping to corner the luxury slave trade market.
