IC: Adwest wants to continue her imperial restoration
OoC: I want to flesh out Queen Sophia some more, and maybe do some war RP
Campaign Plot
It's been twenty plus years since the failed attempt to subjugate Westenne and only four years since Adwest managed to subdue that state into her rule, and momentum for imperial restoration is slowly disappearing among the powerbrokers in Adwestene society. Conflicts between nobles on the extent of their borders and powers and everything in between attempt to spiral out of control and unhinge the progress of the National Rejuvenation.
With these in mind, and motivated by her own personal ambitions and thoughts, Queen Sophia of Adwest takes matters into her own hands. Her sight is fixed on the west, and with her vassals squabbling, no better time exists for her to take the hilt of the sword and and finish what was begun three decades ago. Adwest is ready for war, and her monarch is more than willing to sit on a throne of skulls to restore old glory.
But war is dangerous business, and to appear so eager for it would spell almost immediate failure. Sophia would therefore turn to her own devices and her brother-in-law, the Grand Duke of Sindar-Astrasia, to bring about her vision. A notoriously pro-Adwestene royalist, the Grand Duke of SA attempts to abolish the SA parliament and rule by decree in order to merge with Adwest. But a country with such strong democratic institutions would not fold so easily, and the Grand Duke is met with armed opposition from his own government. Civil war erupts and Adwest intervenes on "humanitarian grounds", freely entering eastern SA where the Grand Duke holds power. Attempts by Adwestenes to enter territory held by the democratic government is met with force, which formally makes Adwest intervene on the side of the Grand Duke.
Potential for Other Player Involvement
Lots of potential for both direct and indirect involvement. SA is part of that mutual defense treaty with others in the region, which could pull them. Outside powers could also possibly be involved, especially when treaties are called up and vested interests are brought to the fore.
How your country may evolve from success
The Queen becomes more powerful, and Adwestene imperial restoration will be considered complete for the most part when Adwest reaches the western coastline of the continent. This will mean Adwest will be less trouble for anyone in the region since it has been sated, and RP focus will shift to domestic matters somewhat.
How your country may evolve from defeat
The Queen and the aristocracy may possibly be deposed by anarchist forces, replaced by a constitutional monarchy headed by the Queen's exiled brother, or simply disintegrate into warring groups of nobles.
<how might other Players get involved in your campaign?>
They can oppose or support Adwestene's attempt at expansion with whatever means they deem fit for the situation.
