Posovari revolutions

The Posovari revolutions happened mainly as a result of the great bandit attacks from troy. Dissatisfied by the defensive capability of Posovaria, and with the other laws passed. For example, one which stated that a citizen could not fight for another country without payment (something that was quite common, especially with soldiers in service with Akratia), the people decided to protest, and all this lead too was tightening of these restrictions.

 The First Posovari Revolution 

The northern towns of Askalon, New-Kalingrad, Snoengrad and later Nordsholm and New Flagstaff started to formulated a plan where they would be able to exit Posovaria and join Akratia. at first, it was as simple as fleeing from their home towns to the United Empire. However, some of the leaders of Askalon (which also happened to be the town leading the plot) did not want to abandon their home, and so there was at first much in fighting about what should be done. after a few days, an agreement was reached that the northern city's in on the plot (at this point all were in on the conspiracy except Nordsholm and new New Flagstaff). the plan was for the towns to declair independence and allegiance to the Kelmar Union, a new union of the 3 cities that would then declare elegance to Akratia, so as to make it look as though Akratia hadn't played a part in the events (they had offered military support as well as food and weapons). The statement declaiming independence was meant to be issued on the 10th March at 6 30 pm GMT, and on the 8th (2 days before the plan was meant to go into action) one of the leaders of the operation, namely SkyBro, approached the Baron of another northern city called Nordsholm, NaturalKind. when told about the plot, and when offered a part in it, NatrualKind immediately informed a citizen called BatChatap, and asked him for help in quelling this plot for northern independence. NaturalKind didn't know at the time thathe was talking to one of the other ringleaders of the plot, and once Natural found out about the people who would be participating in it, he decided to join the movement, bringing Nordsholm with him.

The date of independence was later moved forward to the 9th of March, and, sure enough, at exactly 7pm GMT the leaders of Askalon, New-Kalingrad, Snoengrad and Nordsholm announced their declaration. this is the message sent by the main leader (known as yoyo or Enderzenn) of this movement, which announced the formation of Kelmar and the separation of the towns from Posovaria

"KALMARIAN MEN AND WOMEN: In the name of God and of the dead generations from which she receives her old tradition of nationhood, The republic, through us, summons her children to her flag and strikes for her freedom.

Having organised and trained her manhood through her secret revolutionary organization, having patiently perfected her discipline, having resolutely waited for the right moment to reveal itself, she now seizes that moment, and, supported by her exiled children in Rathnir and gallant allies in Akratia, but relying in the first on her own strength, she strikes in full confidence of victory.

''We declare the right of the people of Kalmar to the ownership of Kalmar, and to the unfettered control of Kalmarian destinies, to be sovereign and indefeasible. The long usurpation of that right by a foreign people and government has not extinguished the right, nor can it ever be extinguished except by the destruction of the Kalmarian people. In every generation the Kalmarian people have asserted their right to national freedom and standing on that fundamental right and again asserting it in arms in the face of the world, we hereby proclaim the Kalmar Republic as a Sovereign Independent State, and we pledge our lives and the lives of our comrades-in-arms to the cause of its freedom, of its welfare, and of its exaltation among the nations. "''

Posovaria did not accept this, however, and a large and fiery debate broke out. the Kelmar people had information that Posovaria was possibly planning an attack, and stood too along the walls of Askalon for nearly and hour, with many Akratians showing up to help. however, the attack never came, and the day ended with Kelmar becoming an autonomous region of Posovaria, built upon the old abandoned town of Arbalon. the Kelmarians were at first happy with this. But hatred soon grew over Posovarias perceived mishandling of the issue. a plan soon grew that would lead to the second Posovari revolution.

 The Second Posovari Revolution 

Leading straight on from the creation of the Kelmar union, the city of New Flagstaff joined the movement (for reasons still unclear) and it was then decided that on the 15th March, the Kelmar Army would march into the home towns they came from and annex them to the newly independent Kelmar Union. The hard part would be keeping hold of the towns, as the residents of them, if they had not already moved to Kelmar, were massively in support of the movement. it was still unclear to the rebels weather or not they would then fully become part of Akratia or become independent, although support was there in both options. it was then that one of the leading rebels approached the leader of Viodoxa, to ask them to stay out of the likely ensuing conflict. Loic (the archon and leader of Viodoxa) took pity on the rebels and offered them a status as a protectorate state of Viodoxa. The rebels now had a splitting dilemma, they could either take Viodoxa's offer or Akratias's. Either way they went, it was sure that they would unintentionally cut relations with the other side. The date of announcement was moved forward, despite the developments, to the 13th March at 10 30am GMT. however, espionage was rampant in both the Kelmarian discord and Posovaria's, with spies sending information to both sides. This greatly reduced the rebels chances of sucess, and the knew it, for posovaria was already sending out calls for help and that other nations should not recognise Kelmar.

talks between the leaders regarding Viodoxa's and Akratia's deal continued through the night, and it was finally decided, though not to the satisfaction of all, to move the rebels to Viodoxa and flee the situation entirely. This was eventually announced to Posovaria, who were more than happy to see the back of these citizens. but this greatly angered Akratia's leader, MW_Neoz, who later placed bounty's on the heads of several of the rebels.

The leaders of New Flagstaff then announced, not with the Kelmars permission or blessing, that they were to invade Loregal (a town in east Regonia), as none had fled with their comrades to Viodoxa. it is yet still unclear what lead them to do this. This could possibly be seen as the last direct fallout of the revolutions, at least for now.
