Varrock Civil War

The Varrock Civil War was a war that was held in the years 201 and 202 of the Fifth Age between the UVR and the Misthalin Loyalists.

Description
Although Varrock had become a super war during the 2nd century of the 5th age, not everyone was happy with the social, economical, and political changes that occurred during this time. A group of these individuals set up the UVR, or the United Varrockian Rebels. Because The Varrock Secret Service (VSS) and the Varrock Royal Guard (VRG) were generally unaware of the rebellion, the UVR was able to expand for over a year both through false hope and religious influence.

On the 29th of Moevyng, 201, a small group of UVR spies infiltrated Varrock Palace unnoticed. The next morning a UVR assassin murdered King Roald III and Queen Ellamaria in their sleep. Shortly after the rest of the spies killed the remaining guards, warriors, and knights in the castle and took control. A group of wise UVR members set up a Senate, which would rule Varrock fairly from that point on. The leader of the UVR, a 30 year old veteran of war called Freir Stratskof became the Great Senator.

To the dismay of the Senate, the people of Varrock were enraged with the UVR and armies were gathered from all over Misthalin. On the 12th of Novtumber that year an army of 30,000 soldiers had gathered in front of the castle gates. However, the UVR had more supporters than was originally thought, and counted around 20,000 men. That same day the war started and it went on for 4 months. During these months around 20,000 soldiers of both sides died and the UVR was forced to surrender. On the 17th of Bennath, 202, Prince Roald, the son of the deceased monarchs, was made King Roald IV of Misthalin.
