The Pandyan Civil War, starting in 1169 and continuing through 1177, marked a struggle between prominent Pandyan leaders as they attempted to seize the Pandyan throne. As the conflict spread, nearby powers became increasingly interested in the conflict and further sought control of the territory. Delegates on this side of the joint crisis – representing Parakrama I’s Advisors – will be tasked with ensuring Parakrama remains in power amid the Chola dynasty’s increasing involvement in the conflict.
