Despite Kyot initially holding the capital, Cottbus, and granting Zuwayza its independence to free up more of his troops, the war ended in victory for Swemmel, who proceeded to execute his brother by boiling him alive. Swemmel then proceeded to purge Unkerlant's government, army, and nobility of Kyot's supporters, real or imagined. One of the few survivors of the purge was General Chlodvald, Unkerlant's greatest commander during the Six Years' War, who was allowed to retire to an estate outside Sommerda.

| - Despite Kyot initially holding the capital, Cottbus, and granting Zuwayza its independence to free up more of his troops, the war ended in victory for Swemmel, who proceeded to execute his brother by boiling him alive. Swemmel then proceeded to purge Unkerlant's government, army, and nobility of Kyot's supporters, real or imagined. One of the few survivors of the purge was General Chlodvald, Unkerlant's greatest commander during the Six Years' War, who was allowed to retire to an estate outside Sommerda. The war left large stretches of Unkerlant ruined and its peasants starving; the Duchy of Grelz alone saw a third of its villages destroyed. Close to a full generation passed before the country recovered, only to be invaded and devastated once more by Algarve during the Derlavaian War. But the massive purge of the nobility also allowed able commoners such as Marshal Rathar to rise to positions of power, which may have aided Unkerlant's eventual triumph over Algarve.
