The War of Estranged Siblings was a conflict that started in late 1733 and lasted until early 1737. The basis of the conflict was sown in 1723, when Jules Sebastian de la Rochelle took side against his younger sister Emilia Antoinette, when she tried to make their hometown Stadt Taktwinkel, independent from the failing Republic of Sankt Ludwigshafen. Following his sister's victory and subsequent ascension to the throne as the first princess of Taktwinkel, and soon afterwards the Confoederatio Aemilia, Jules fled to Neurossheim in Etzeland where he lay low for a moment. In III.1733 he published a book containing libel and slander towards the princess, which irritated the princess and called for a meeting of the Aemilian chapter of the Order of the Holy Lakes in VI.1733. Meetings of the chapter were mandatory for all who qualified for membership and Jules Sebastian de la Rochelle was expected to attend. As he refused to return from his place of exile and attend the meeting, a request of extradition was sent to Mondo Etzeterra. Mondo sent a representative to Jules Sebastian, inviting him to discuss the matter at the court, but after receiving this invitation he fled the Mondosphere towards Rossmarkt. Rossmarkt at the time was located in the Green and Jules Sebastian de la Rochelle established his own republic there, calling himself a Stadtholder of the Lanzerwald.
Princess Emilia Antoinette sent her confidante, Hedy von Rossmarkt, long-time captain of the palace guard in Taktwinkel, to Rossmarkt to negotiate the return of Jules Sebastian with the promise of a lenient trial. As Captain von Rossmarkt approached the city with her troops, they were met with warning shots and the captain retreated to a location out of the range of the city's small arms and asked Princess Emilia Antoinette for further instructions. Princess Emilia Antoinette promised to send reinforcements, a full legion including several Panzergefechtswagen I. She however did not authorise an assault on the city, believing that the possible bloodshed would not be proportionate to the offences committed by Jules Sebastian. The hope of the Confoederatio Aemilia remained that Jules Sebastian would cease his hostile behaviour and surrender to the superior Aemilian forces.
