The Suzuhan (Wadiin: Ṭū Suzūʿan lit. “The Shattering”) was a period of intense political turmoil following the death of the Prophet in 3836 CY. Starting with a civil war between the remaining 11 sons of the Prophet following his death, leading to the eventual death of two sons, and exile of six others. The remaining two sons would pledge their loyalty to the successor of The Prophet, Jizan I.

Prelude

Some stuff happens. Nearly immediately after the death of the Prophet in 3849 CY, the 11 sons of the Prophet would convene to reach an agreement over succession, and how the lands of Wadiin would be governed. This conference ended poorly, as the sons were split over the topic of noble autonomy. The predominant leaders of the two groups were Jizan Wigun and Yigin Wigun, who favored a near-absolute divine king, and an elected religious figurehead respectively. Both sides saw each other as attempting to seize power for themselves. Son of the Prophet Yadya Wigun would storm out in anger, and the conference begins to fall apart, ending with Jizan Wigun drawing his sword and slaying Jinu Wigun, daring any to challenge his claim to the throne before storming out. Jizan would return to his domain, and would begin to raise an army, signaling the beginning of the brief civil war. X

Civil War

Yigin Wigun would immediately seize control of Dizundyi, proclaiming his brother, Ah Wigun, to be the new Dyaway. He and his brother would raise a force of around 4,500 soldiers to quell Jizan’s rebellion. They would march to meet Jizan’s forces outside his fief at X, where in the Battle of X, Jizan’s forces would sew a route throughout the forces of Yigin. Yigin and Ah would then retreat to Dizundyi, which Jizan would lay siege to in the Siege of Dizundyi. Feeling that all hope was lost, Yigin would take a much of his troops and sack Dizundyi, before leaving and abandoning Ah to his fate. Yigin would then flee from Wadiin, making landfall in mainland Huo along with his other brothers in the Holy Warpath. Ah would face Jizan’s forces in a last stand during the Battle of Dizundyi, where Ah would die alongside his remaining 1,100 troops.

Aftermath

Jizan would retake a burned-out Dizundyi and would proclaim himself as Dyaway, operating as a near-absolute monarch with a council of religious experts. The sacking of Dizundyi would leave much of the original city in tatters, and Jizan would focus much of his reign on rebuilding it. Jizan would not attempt to fight his brothers who fled to mainland Huo, figuring they had little chance of succeeding in an invasion of Wadiin, and so the Holy Warpath was able to continue. Yigin and the rest of those who fled would establish a series of kingdoms in the former disparate lands of X, forming six Dyajiyadoms along the northwestern coast of Huo, and spreading the Kunwidya religion along with them.
