Griffonian Empire Begins to Break Apart
April 7, 1008

Since the death of Emperor Grover V, the once-unshakable Griffonian Empire has begun to splinter. Word has reached the Republic that the Griffonian Empire is facing internal strife as factions compete for the throne. Various provinces have used the moment to break apart from the Empire, either seeking independence or to settle some other ambition

The Yale Rectorate, Greifenmarschen, Angriver, Katerin Principality, and now Bronzehill have broken from the Empire. Approximately half of the Empire has severed ties with the throne.

Republicangriffs watch with anticipation. This might be the moment of reckoning for the Republic. With the Griffonian Empire distracted, the Republic can either invade in an attempt to seize the throne and tear it down in the name of republicanism, or turn to its neighbors and conquer them to consolidate its position and prepare for a greater war with the Empire in the future.

For the first time in thirty years, the Republic holds the initiative. What it chooses next may define the fate of the Republic.
