Twinkings War

The Twinkings War was a civil war fought in Unkerlant shortly after the Six Years' War ended. The war began when the King of Unkerlant died, leaving his twin sons, Swemmel and Kyot, to dispute the throne. Recently ravaged by the Six Years' War, Unkerlant was nearly ruined by years of savage fighting as the flower of an Unkerlanter generation was forced to choose between sadistic, tyrannical princes. The chaos of the war allowed the Unkerlanter provinces of Zuwayza and western Forthweg to secede from the kingdom.

The war ended with victory for Swemmel, who proceeded to execute his brother by boiling him alive. Swemmel then proceeded to purge Unkerlant's government, army, and nobility of Kyot supporters.
