Unrest in the North
August 15, 1011 - September 3, 1011
President-Marshal Kemerskai was mid-thrust in a beautiful, demure white-furred pony when the phone rang. Frustrated, he turned his attention to the phone and answered it. The protests had spread from Bleakspire now to Bredo. What began as scattered protests in Bleakspire has now ignited a firestorm of unrest across the Republic, reaching the northern city of Bredo. Thousands of civiliangriffs have taken to the streets, denouncing the President-Marshal’s leadership and labeling his emergency powers as nothing less than authoritarian rule.
The immediate spark came from the controversial publication of a political pamphlet by republicangriff author Cornelius Vinke. He published an anti-Kemerskai tirade, calling the President-Marshal a fool, womanizer, that Kemerskai had impregnated numerous ponies over the years and then disposed of them in the icebarrens of the north. Critics have fired back that there is no evidence of ponydisposal and that the President-Marshal is a great general who will lead the Republic to greatness, spreading republicanism across the continent.
From Bleakspire, the revolts spread north to Bredo. The protestors seized key parts of each city, from the publication centers to police stations, and soon barred the military from entering. The Republic Army now is entrenching just beyond the land occupied by the thousands of protestorgriffs.
In Cloudbury, the Republican Guard seized control of the city to prevent unrest spreading to the capital. A stricter martial law was imposed, granting the Guard extraordinary measures of suppression. So far, it has worked.
Whether this marks the beginning of civil collapse or merely a passing upheaval depends not only on the next orders from Cloudbury, but on whether the Republic still believes in the one who founded it.
