More commonly referred to as "the Last War", the "War of Secession" lasted from 308 IC to 314 IC at which point the Treaty of the Eight Thrones was signed, bringing an end to the hostilities.
Background
A full history lesson of the Merebian Empire is almost impossible to succinctly state here but suffice it to say that power in the Empire is centralised not only in the region of Dominus but also between Humans and Dwarves. The alliances between Dwarves and Humans is central to the strength (economic and military) of the Empire and when that is threatened the full might of the Empire is brought into play.
Geographically though the bulk of the economic and military force is based in Dominus, and more specifically, in the southern half of Dominus. This means that the northern countries of the Empire (Chundria, Thorast, Erganth and Lyrazante) are used to protect and serve the northern half of Dominus.
Hence any force that desires to weaken or destroy the Empire has to either attack/weaken the southern half of Dominus or the counties to the north. In 308 IC the forces of Yuritan attempted to do the latter by forcing Chundria to secede from the Empire and using that as beachhead to invade Thorast and northern Dominus.
