The '''Primatorial Civil War''' is an ongoing conflict in the [[Royal Primate]] that began on 7 January 2026. The war was triggered after [[Tijgeron of Pantharyen]] defeated [[Goros]] in a [[Trial of the Strongest]], assuming the title of [[Primator's Strongest]]. Following his defeat, Goros started an armed rebellion, challenging Tijgeron's leadership.

The conflict was initially a power struggle though it later escalated as Tijgeron sought to consolidate power across Sabana to launch an operation against the [[Tigerium]]. Tijgeron sought alliances with the [[Lionarchy]], [[Rayak]] and the [[Gray Triumvirate]], though his approaches were rejected or ignored. The conflict turned into a three-front war when the Tigerium deployed its [[Fangtooth Clan|Fangtooth forces]] into Royal Primate territory to remove Tijgeron from power and end the rebellion led by Goros. The Tigerian intervention was led by [[Tigrish]], though he was later wounded in battle by [[Maegor]]. His wounding led to the entering of negotiations between the Tigerian government and Tijgeron. 

The negotiations later concluded that Tigerian and Pantherian forces would withdraw from the country. [[Aapje Congrove]], Tijgeron's second-in-command, was designated as the new head of state, proclaiming herself as [[Empress of the Royal Primate]]. The Tigerium pressured her to cut ties with Tijgeron, which she eventually accepted. Goros and several other influential rebel-leaders rejected her Apexship and continued the civil war.
