The War of the Ionite Succession was an early 20th century conflict that took place in Ionland. Due to increasing distrust in Krol Krzysztof Niemec, groups within the Imperial Army began splitting off and would later declare themselves as the Ionite Republican Army. Early on during the Republican Revolts the IRA had successful campaigns against the Imperial Army in the South however victories in the north were limited. However most saw the IRA as a nuisance and a terrorist organization but most of the populace despised the Krol. In December 1915 in Dmow various Orthodox Churches began declaring allegiance to the Rominski Family as the new rightful rulers of Ionland, a popular family that was well known for their philanthropist work in the region. With the endorsement of the Orthodox Church, the Rominski Family began building up forces that was able to match both the Imperial Forces and the Republican Armies. During early 1916 the Rominski Loyalists eliminated the IRA from contention and by August of 1916 reached the Imperial Seat of Sobieski. With the control of the Capital, Tadeusz Rominski declared himself as the new Krol. The ousted Krol, Krzysztof fled to Blokdalf to lead the colony which broke away during the coronation of Tadeusz.
