In {{ICYear|1262}}, the [[Crimson Plague]] finally reached Koramia, killing off more than a third of the population over the next two years. The eight-year old child-king proved weak and ineffectual in the face of such a tragedy. His advisors fell to bickering and little was done to alleviate the pain of his subjects. In {{ICYear|1263}}, the gates of Paeldain itself were closed (a symbolic gesture at best, due to the dilapidated nature of its defenses) and military rule was established to prevent the spread of plague in the city.

As the plague passed, several rebellions sprung up against William III’s rule. To the north, [[Norlund]], which now included the former Kingdom of Illyria, asserted its independence and [[Dunkirk]] followed suit in in the south in 1265. Meanwhile, in [[Icenia]], the First King, [[Aelric the Mad]], was reborn as an undead lord and over the next decade reestablished his rule over the region. Koramia was whittled down to barely a fifth of its former size, mainly centered near Paeldain.

Though there had been periodic peasant rebellions even near Paeldain, in {{ICYear|1275}} they finally found their voice. [[Chadric Greysword]], son of [[Ayric Greysword|Ayric]], claimed that his father and grandmother had been victims of a conspiracy and claimed William III was a pretender to the throne. Disaffected Koramians flocked to Chadric’s banner. Most significantly, elements within the Koramian Church of [[Vortumnus]] also flocked to his banner, despite protestations of the Prelate of Paeldain. In {{ICYear|1277}}, Chadric was crowned King of Koramia by one of his Archbishops and the nation quickly polarized around the the kings.

Despite now being in the broils of a formal civil war, Koramia saw few battles between the two King’s forces. Both Kings simply did not have the resources to field a large army and most conflicts were restricted to small skirmishes. But the Civil War ensured that Koramia would not be able to even consider retaking her former territories. If it weren’t for the troubles her neighbors were facing, it is likely Koramia would have long since fallen.<noinclude>{{Duria_Guide|chapter= History}}{{Fey_Source|chapter= History}}[[Category:Koramia]]</noinclude>
