===The Nāʔahilūmi Years (4E 17 - 4E 2Ɛ)===

[TBW]

====The Tol Voszanak Uprising====

The apparently incoming victory of the Chlouvānem forces in the East-West Global War was almost immediately halted starting from 4E 2Ɛ (3510), 13 brausāsena, when Great Inquisitor Kælahīmāvi Nāʔahilūma ''Martayinām'' signed an act authorizing local commanders in the occupied areas of Greater Skyrdagor to dismantle "heretic" buildings and monuments in order to obtain raw materials to be used for military uses. Five days later, on 18 brausāsena, the commander of the governatorate of Tol Raszkut, in southern Karynaktja, authorized the dismantling of the Iron Temple to Ryz in the city of Tol Voszanak (locally [ˈtilʲ ˈfosɑnɑk], ''Talvasanaka'' in Chlouvānem), one of the most notable Keduvian religious temples in Karynaktja. The news of the incoming dismantling spread through the city and as the demolishing troops approached the temple on the following morning, 19 brausāsena, they found street barricades and armed resistance by the Skyrdegan citizens; that day a large uprising began and it rapidly turned into a battle between the Skyrdegan majority and the leading Chlouvānem minority. On 1ᘔ brausāsena, military forces from the neighboring areas came to Tol Voszanak in order to crush the rebellion but, as many militars from that area were Skyrdegans themselves, they mutined and the general of that brigade, Mailhommāvi Mahāmiai ''Hāliehaika'', was executed by her soldiers even before entering the uprising city.

Despite the Chlouvānem authorities' attempts to conceal the news of the attempted demolition and of the following uprising, in the following ten days it quickly spread across many areas of Greater Skyrdagor, where many people joined the partisan resistance movements that had been living apart from society since the Chlouvānem invasion, refusing to be converted to the Yunyalīlta. As information on the happenings in Tol Voszanak reached Līlasuṃghāṇa, the uprising had already spread to most of Greater Skyrdagor, and as the largest parts of the army were fighting in Evandor, Great Inquisitor Nāʔahilūma was forced to directly send lots of Chlouvānem peasants to Greater Skyrdagor and fight, starting from the closest areas (the Northeast and the East). In a so deeply agricultural society as the Chlouvānem one, this proved to be an extremely impopular decision right before planting time, and with many women refusing to send their younger sons or their husbands to war, ultimately also peasants from the Plain and the Jade Coast were called to arms, generating even more anger towards the central government. As the situation in Greater Skyrdagor kept deteriorating, after a bit more than two months from the Tol Voszanak uprising, on 4 bhaivyāvammi, Great Inquisitor Nāʔahilūma personally flew to the battlefields of Ceria meeting the de facto president of Ceria, Sédónen Éoben, signing on 6 bhaivyāvammi a truce (the Mérosión Truce) and paving the way for a peace conference with all occupied Evandorian countries. After that, the bulk of the Inquisitorial Army was transferred from Evandor to Greater Skyrdagor.

The situation in Greater Skyrdagor was however almost completely in favour of the rebels; Askand had already declared independence on 26 ñariāyāmyah, followed by both Aksalbor and Skyrdagor on 5 bhaivyāvammi and then Karynaktja on Ɛ bhaivyāvammi. On that day, the Chlouvānem forces only had control on most of Gorjan (which had been annexed to the Inquisition and had a large number of Yunyalīlti even among native Skyrdegan people) and the southern half of Eszubat, the southernmost island of Skyrdagor. Brono and Fathan, while not Skyrdegan, had also revolted, as had most of the occupied countries between Evandor and the Inquisition.

In an attempt to calm down the people in the Chlouvānem lands, on 11 bhaivyāvammi, during the Bhaivyāvāṣara, the most important Chlouvānem festivity, which was held in a relatively low-key manner, Great Inquisitor Nāʔahilūma declared that the war was over. In fact, the war in Evandor was indeed over, but a large civil war had broken out in Greater Skyrdagor.

====Peace of Keštron and the fall of G.I. Nāʔahīluma====

On 22 bhaivyāvammi, Baptist Līṭhaljāyimāvi Daulidėmā ''Kanūmbiboma'' signed on behalf of Great Inquisitor Nāʔahilūma the Peace of Keštron, the final peace treaty between the Chlouvānem Inquisition (and Chlouvānem-aligned Holenagika) and the Evandorian countries, represented by delegations from each one of the 14 "unorganized governatorates" occupied by the Inquisition plus the presidents of the still independent (but war-torn) countries, including Sédónen Éoben of Ceria, Bešo Perčukwek of Nordúlik and Peonontuo Auto of Helinetia. The Chlouvānem granted full independence to all invaded countries - as Baptist Daulidėmā would explain twenty years later, the priority was settling peace and avoiding other potential Tol Voszanak-s at all costs - but literally sacked the national treasuries, as well as many art operas, of Evandorian countries. Together with the war, this caused a major economic decadence across Evandor that would take more than two decades to balance, but had the side effect of greatly strengthening friendly relations between Evandorian countries.

The situation in Greater Skyrdagor, however, remained critical and, coupled with the revolts of people in the native Chlouvānem lands, ultimately led to the Inquisitorial Conclave putting into accuse Great Inquisitor Nāʔahilūma on 2 īlāmyasena, and, contrary to all expectations, Baptist Daulidėmā voted the same two days later. In the early morning hours of 4E 2Ɛ, 5 īlāmyasena, Great Inquisitor Kælahīmāvi Nāʔahilūma ''Martayinām'' was arrested and deposed from her role, effectively putting an end to her reign after 21 years. This was ultimately a landmark decision, as Great Inquisitor Nāʔahilūma's reign proved to be the last truly despotic one in Chlouvānem history, granting almost no individual freedoms and emphasizing a cult of personality where the Great Inquisitor was hailed as the newest coming of the Chlamiṣvatrā. Great Inquisitor Nāʔahilūma's abuses of power were also strongly condemned since then, and there has been to date no other so explicit call for holy war.

After the fall of the Great Inquisitor, on 1Ɛ īlāmyasena Amabuyāvi Maʔikembītā ''Læhimausa'' was elected as her successor; Kælahīmāvi Nāʔahilūma ''Martayinām'' was later, after the end of all war situations, condemned by a tribunal with new Great Inquisitor Maʔikembītā as the highest judge; to extreme surprise, she was spared of capital punishment and, after two years of prison, ended up living in her native Līlta as a nanny until her death in 4E 41. To the surprise of many, she didn't get a state funeral, becoming the first (and so far only) non-executed former Great Inquisitor to be refused one.

==Law and politics==

The Inquisition’s political and legal systems are both based exclusively on religious law: the laws of the country are based on the interpretations given by the Inquisition to the holy books that collect the speeches the Chlamiṣvatrā gave, as well as on a few more later writings. Particularly important in the legal system are the Books of Law, which are the non-dogmatic book periodically revised to collect landmark sentences.
