The Great Gintem War was a military and religious conflict that engulfed the modern day Gintem Confederation from 4327 CY (300 BP) to 4375 CY (252 BP). The conflict was mainly centered around Kunwidya religious uprisings and reforms brought to the Gintem Confederation, and TSC efforts to control them.

Background

Kunwidya missionaries had been arriving on the shores of North Yazland since the Xth century, however their doctrine only began to grow in popularity near the Xth century. In particular, one state within the Gintem Confederation that emerged as the leading stronghold of Kunwidya thought was the Kingdom of Skiischüüschi. Having converted in the Xth century CY, King x of Skiischüüschi used Kunwidya doctrines to justify his strengthening hold over the traditional nobility of his kingdom, and used his newfound internal strength to posture himself as a new threat to the two rising powers of Tschintiessteiss and Küüztschüüsches. The success of x caused numerous other Gintem rulers to convert for the newfound political independence gained from the opposition to the old order, such as the Kingdom of Üü, the Kingdom of Hinzgööss, and the Grand Principality of Wütschööss.
