       The War of Bishuétz was a long conflict that occurred during the
       years 183 A.C to 187 A.C, and was fought between Apondis and the
       once existing nation of Elonia, its southern neighbor. At the
       time, Apondis comprised of its current territory, along with a
       few sparse villages in other areas, and was considering a small
       Kingdom. Apondis was ruled by King Denamda II, while its
       neighboring kingdom, Elonia, was ruled by King Devanne III.
       Apondis was defended by the Order of the Spears, led by Sir
       Tepestal Beoulf.
       Strife erupted at Boreas, a once independent province near to
       Ivalice's border and now under Elonia rule. Many centuries ago,
       Elonia invaded and assimilated Zelmonia. Apondis had secretly
       provided means to weaken Elonia; however, the Boresian
       aristocracy decided to petition for King Denamda's direct
       intervention. King Devanne III died without naming a successor.
       His cousin Varoi VI was named as successor, but King Denamda II
       proclaimed himself as rightful heir, being Devanne's uncle, and
       declared war against Elonia.
       The Viura Campaign
       King Denamda II led the Apondian army towards the Elonian
       capital of Viura. On their way, knights of the Order of the
       Spears fought valiantly, winning battle after battle. As they
       were reaching the Elonian border, King Denamda II fell ill and
       died soon after, never able to return to his kingdom. The
       Apondian army became lost and confused due to their leader's
       death and this was used as an opportunity for Elonia to
       strengthen their army and defend the Elonian borders. The war
       was fought fiercely, reaching a stalemate. A successor to
       Denamda II, Denamda IV, was pulled to the throne to replace his
       father.
       Romanda's invasion
       During the stalemate, Onyx armies crossed the barrier from the
       underworld in an invasion upon Apondis. The Onyx was a military
       nation ruled by a blood relative to its undead leader. King
       Denamda IV and his Apondian army held off the invasion through
       the aid of Baladds ruler at the time, Grand Duke Otto Saxony,
       and his assassination squad Kama.
       After three years of fighting, the Onyx ended up retreating.
       King Denamda IV was a fearless warrior who personally led his
       armies in battles against the combined forces of Onyx and
       Elonia. The outbreak of the Dancing Plague within Elonia also
       led to their retreat.
       Denamda IV's death
       With the Onyxs retreat, Apondis continued on with the war
       against Elonia. Denamda IV died suddenly, believed to be
       assassinated. He was succeeded by King Ondoria Atkascha III,
       although the king was a weak-willed man and unfit to rule, and
       all his decisions being made by his Queen Adele.
       Elonia's ruler Varoi VI also died, and was replaced by Prince
       Leonard. Due to Ondoria's weakness, Elonia forced Apondis to
       cease fighting.
       Apondis's surrender
       The last battle between Apondis and Elonia took place in
       Zeltennia, and though the Knights of the Spear fought bravely,
       Elonia invaded Boreas. Apondis and Elonia agreed to a mutual
       peace treaty though whispers persist that in reality, Apondis
       had surrendered.
       Aftermath
       After the Bishuetz War, Apondis suffered a great loss as the
       people harbored ill feelings and dissatisfaction to the nobles
       and the royal family who placed them in the meaningless war.
       Farmers staged riots and revolted, and many turned banners to
       join the Corpse Brigade. Apondis's economy suffered as payments
       could not be made to the knights who had fought in the war due
       to the spending on weapons and defenses. Many were discharged
       from the army, and with less food and little money, there was
       high unemployment and disloyalty to the ruling factions grew.
       These factors altogether caused the end of Apondis's golden age.
       King Ondoria's two sons died, and the king adopted his younger
       sister, Princess Jeanne, as his daughter. Soon after, Queen
       Adele gave birth to Prince Luise, causing a conflict over who to
       become King Ondoria's successor.
       Rumors spread of King Ondoria's failing health. Since his
       collapse during Prince Orinus's birthday celebration, it was
       obvious he was on the brink of death. His advisers, the Board of
       Chamberlains, delivered news the king was getting better, but
       the people knew the truth. Soon rumors surfaced that Queen Adele
       and other nobles had argued over his successor.
