Deposition of Caterina
On the 18th of October, 2020, WhiskeyKnight, TequilaKnight, Aurelian of Aurora and RakijaKnight sent a string of messages in the imperian-announcements channel, announcing Caterina's deposition. She was then stripped of her Empress role in the discord. There were protestations from a few citizens, especially montroigians who would end up using the sentence "18/10 never forget" as a reference to this event.

The Uldarashi states of Chevkri, Sanctuary, Dearman, Savernia, Mithusu, Alokhrad, Boulderov and Nullaria backed the declaration later that day.

On the next day, CoColaxxative, lawyer of Caterina, published a declaration in her name in rathnir-national-announcements, publicly asking for the trial of WhiskeyKnight, Aurelian of Aurora and RakijaKnight for treason, and joining a long evidence document. The declaration was made publicly after the High Court refused to take the case, and Caterina said she was not opposed to a trial against her afterwards, as she could prove she was innocent of all the crimes she allegedly commited.

The Uldarashi states of Ethesidus, Montroig, Dearman and Alfheim then expressed their wish to have a trial take place.

Deposition of Nikephoros
On the 2nd of November, Caterina of Uldarash published an Ultimatum, giving 24 hours to Uldarash to hold the trial she was asking for weeks, and her reinstatement as Empress, and reaffirming she was not opposed to a trial against her afterwards. The declaration also contained an updated evidence document, now spanning 20 pages.
