Transcendental Kinslaying

The Transcendental Kinslaying, also known as the Sinyettan Civil War, the Transcendental Civil War, the Transcendentalist War and the Kinslaying of Nostéma 1008, was an internal military conflict fought between two distinct factions, the Traditionalists and the Transcendentalists. It lasted for 17 years, and ended with the Transcendentalists ascending to power and the Alignment shifting to an authoritarian regime, which proved consequential in the Alignment's Reckoning.

Background
Transcendentalism's beginnings began as numerous discoveries of psychics were made. During and after the Unbidden Crusade, the movement proliferated alongside the increasing appearances of psychics among the population.

However, not all Sinyettans were not keen on the movement's intentions, and perceived it as a dangerous path. A faction in Sinyettan society named the Traditionalists were determined to uphold their initiative of disregarding Transcendentalist practices. Both factions deepened this divide to the point where violent incidents occurred. A significant point in this tension occurred when the next Steward elected named Tecilder Cúnener implemented a ban on Transcendentalist teachings, and authorized any dissemination of Transcendentalist documents to be suppressed. Many arrests were made, and this era of history oversaw purges of Transcendentalist members in the Sinyettan government. Finally, a prominent Transcendentalist leader named Tindómië Sanwëlatyanis proclaimed herself Holy and Divine Empress and called upon her kin to defend themselves militarily against their persecutors. Upon the terrorist attacks against Traditionalist institutions, Cúnener implemented martial law upon the Alignment to eliminate the Transcendentalist vestiges. Afterwards, the Transcendentalists escalated their attacks, and the Alignment was plunged into civil war.
