The Laird's Revolt, also known as Queen Natalie's War, was a civil war within the Kingdom of Glytter that took place from 1233 to 1235. It was the result of the usurping of Morcan VII by her brother, Prince Sionann, while she was abroad in Embria visiting her first cousin, Caroline I. She remained in exile at Caroline's court with her mother, Natalie of Embria, and her sister, Princess Fionna, until her death in 1233. It was at this point that her mother, with the help of her cousin, led a revolt triggering the conflict. Natalie, along with many rebelling nobles, formed the Army of the Lord and Justice. Invertwinc and Snarksburgh quickly became the bases for Natalie and her army. Throughout the war her forces would slowly pursue her son from both corners of the island until he was forced to retreat to Toragh Castle. On 21 May 1235 the Army of the Lord and Justice laid siege to the fortress and utterly destroyed it. Sionann was killed during the siege and the war came to a close, with Natalie as the Queen of Glytter.

The Siblings War was a civil war within the Kingdom of Glytter from 15 March 1396 to 23 March 1397. The conflict was fought between two powerful factions: the Queen's Men (also known as the Whites) who were supporters of then Queen Morcan IX and the King's Men (also known as the Purples) who were supporters of Séamus, Prince of Gayls. The civil war was a result of the tyrannic reforms of Morcan IX (popularly known as the Reign of Horror), whose totalitarian religious policies lead to a rift between her and her brother, who was a homosexual. Conflict started on 15 March after Morcan IX ordered the arrest of the Prince of Gayls. The Prince was warned of his sister's plans and fled Spálgleann for Invertwinc. While in Invertwinc, the Prince, along his most prominent supporters, began to raise an army to fight his sister. The King's Men then marched south and lead nearly a year long campaign to take the capital city and installed Séamus as King of Glytter.

The War of MacIconic Restoration was a civil war within within the Kingdom of Glytter from February 1626 until 30 January 1630. The war was started by King John I in an attempt to claim the Glytteronian throne for himself. Following the death of Queen Devyn III, John claimed that she had named him as her successor moments before her death and that their only child Aleanbh, Princess of Gayls was unfit to rule. John then ordered the assassination of his own daughter in order to remove her claim from the throne. This caused outrage throughout the Kingdom, and Devyn III's nephew the Earl of Coragh was declared the monarch by the Archbishop of Spálgleann, as John I was a Solarian Catholic and therefore was unable to act as the Supreme Governor of the Church of Glytter. Upon Rory I's rise as a pretender, John I issued a call to all Solarian Catholics loyal to his cause to rise up in his favor. As a result many of the Highland Clans rose up in support of the monarch, forming the faction known as the Iohnibites. John I also looked to Gaullica, his native country, for aid. In order to expand Gaullican influence, King Francois II of Gaullica sent military aid to John I to ensure he would remain on the Glytteronian throne. Eventually, the war came to a close with Rory I emerging victorious. John I was executed on 30 January 1630, however all of the Iohnibites were pardoned in an attempt to reunify the nation. While the House of MacIconic defeated the Gaullicans, it came at a heavy cost. The Glytteronian Fleet was completely destroyed following the wars end and the Glytteronians were forced to cede Nova Gayldonia to Gaullica.

Iohnibites (Gaylic: Eoiníteachas) were members of a political movement in Glytter that aimed to keep the Solarian Catholic and Gaullican King John I on the Glytteronian throne. The movement took its name from the Solarian Iohn, the original Solarian form of John. Iohnibites fought during the War of MacIconic Restoration between 1626 and 1630.
