Valleskaran Succession Crisis

The Valleskaran Succession Crisis is an ongoing internal conflict in Valleskar brought on by the death of the last King of Valleskar, Daenstyrus X Dynvalyn. There are numerous factions in the conflict, however as of yet, active violence has not yet broken out. It is uncertain whether civil war will in fact break out, however negotiations were eventually initiated by the Loyalist leadership in mid-March, 2017, to decide the succession and thereby end the crisis, and while not all the factions have agreed to participate, most have done so and it has been agreed upon by those that have participated that the succession will be decided in a traditional manner; trial by combat and athletics. Currently, the most popular faction is that of the Loyalists, albeit only by a slim margin. These three Houses support the designated heir of the previous king, lady Valetha VII Dynvalyn, whom is well-liked by many Valleskarans, if not supported by all of them for the throne.
