On the opposite end of the continent, the Tsardom of Novgoria emerged as a formidable power in the Eastern realms. Having successfully reoriented and modernized its heavy industry, the Tsardom leveraged a robust workforce to fuel its ascent. Novgoria's name, meanwhile, transcended mere geographical prominence, evolving into a symbol for those advocating a unified state in the East. However, despite these advancements, societal structures clung to archaic privilege, plagued by inefficient management and avaricious aristocrats monopolizing the nation's resources. Exploiting the populace as mere servants to expedite production, these corrupt practices exacerbated social discontent, particularly among the most oppressed and impoverished classes. In response, a collective of visionary ideologues coalesced into the "Crimson Coalition," a political movement advocating for change. As tensions continued to mount within the Tsardom, the stage was set for a profound and potentially transformative societal upheaval.
In the throes of a continent-spanning conflict, the Suebian Empire strategically intervenes to sow discord within the Tsardom of Novgoria, sparking a perilous civil war. Novgoria, once a formidable power in the East, now grapples with internal strife as the Crimson Coalition, backed by Suebia, champions the cause for societal transformation. Novgoria's military efforts are further strained as they simultaneously engage the Danubrian Confederation, where they find significant success in territorial gains.
As the Tsardom faces challenges on multiple fronts, Novgorian forces shift their focus to the western borders with Fenghua, intensifying the complexity of the conflict. The Crimson Coalition, making notable advances in the Western regions of Novgoria, prompts the emergence of a counterforce as loyalist generals rally in the Cossarian region. This loyalist faction staunchly defends Novgoria against the Coalition, deepening the internal schism within the war-torn nation.
The war's multifaceted nature and the involvement of global powers not only shape the destiny of Novgoria, but also send ripples across the continent. The unfolding events underscore the intricate interplay of politics, ideology, and military strategy, setting the stage for a transformative chapter in the turbulent history of the Eastern realms.
