The Sironian Nationalist Liberation Front

The Sironian Nationalist Liberation Front, or SNLF, is a nationalist and anti-Yimmu-Audal paramilitary which served as the official defense force of Fuscinivir during its existence. The name is derived from the groups ideology (nationalist), purpose (liberation), and nationality (Sironian). The group was headed by infamous Sironian/Fusciniviri terrorist Liraxak until his death during the Fuscinivir War in 116 TE, being headquartered in his Dacha at Iverthirak. It was employed by the Supreme Leader of Fuscinivir Joe Frank Kennedy as the military of Fuscinivir and as a Secret Police force. The group's ideology can be described as Ytharism, a nationalist Sironian ideology that portrays Archon Ythar II as their idol and the rightful ruler of Sironia.

The SNLF is commonly described as a terrorist organization, although during the War its main purpose was to defend the territory and people of Fuscinivir, and only launched attacks within territories it views as Sironian / Fusciniviri (the entirety of the Aldoviri subcontinent).

History, Foundation, and Membership
The SNLF was first formed on the 23rd of October, 2021, by international Sironian terrorist Liraxak, with the intention of making it an infamous terrorist group worldwide. After setting up multiple bases, he staged a terrorist attack on Port d'Ilivian where ethnic Carnians were living in Sironian land. Shortly after, he was condemned by the Empire of Aldovir and lost his citizenship, but nonetheless, he continued to operate the organization. Soon after this, he was exiled from his home-in-exile located in Pasouthak, Yimmu-Audal, and then became a wanderer, marauding throughout Aldovir to spread terror on behalf of the SNLF.

His next major work would be to carve a giant cobblestone sign into the floors of the Farms of Carn reading "SNLF". He joined the Aldoviri Democratic Front as an Allied Forces Commander to help destroy his enemies in the Aldoviri nobility and bring an end to their corrupt rule, but this rebellion was cut short by internal division and weak leadership. Continuing his work, he would build more giant "SNLF" signs and "liberate" Carnian and Aldoviri villages by burning them to the ground and executing the "heretic" inhabitants.

As the Second Sironian Civil War (also known as the Sironian Separatist War) raged, Liraxak began to achieve his first proper military successes. He stormed the Keep of Asour'therak from the sea, a feat previously considered nigh impossible, and from there was able to march on various towns in the region, including Verika, Asalath, Ytharash, and Rowunrua; encircling Azethvir and forcing the Aldoviri government to consider reinstating Ythar to the throne. Just as Liraxak was preparing a March on Azethvir, he received word from the Dawn Palace, from Ythar, who had indeed been made the Archon once more. Liraxak then rallied his forces outside the Sanctum of Azethvir and left for an island called Sirathia in the Ombrian Gulf, with the goal of establishing himself a small Kingdom.

After Joe Frank Kennedy rallied the Old Sironians and declared independence from Yimmu-Audal, a backstage deal was done by him and the Aldoviri elite, detailing that Fuscinivir would join Aldovir as an Imperial Territory on the conditions Aldovir supported them in their War of Independence against Yimmu-Audal and that Liraxak and the SNLF would be allowed to live and operate within Aldovir again, but instead as a paramilitary to defend Fuscinivir. This was readily accepted and thus Liraxak's citizenship was reinstated and Aldoviri military strategists began to plan with the SNLF on how to best win the Fusciniviri War of Independence.

Following the Skirmishes in Noukouthak, capital of Fuscinivir, it was decided that the SNLF should operate out of a more secret and geographically favourable location. Liraxak chose to relocate to the old abandoned town of Iverthirak which he helped to build as a refugee following the Sironian Civil War. The town had many old caves and mines which mostly connected to the Iverthirak Brewery, so he decided to renovate the building and house most of the SNLF in the tunnels below the town. Operations were reestablished quickly, and from Iverthirak, the SNLF spread carnage to all Audaladae or native Fuscinians within “rightful Sironian lands”. However, instead of immediate execution, most of these captured heretics were brought back to Iverthirak to work as labourers expanding the tunnels and as penal workers mining in the lucrative Iverthirak Coal or Diamond mines.

This, along with excellent rates of food production and brewing operations, provided much-needed stimulus to the Fusciniviri economy during the hard times of the war. As Iverthirak was also sheltered geographically, the SNLF was able to turn much of its attention to offensive operations, playing a decisive role in the Siege of Thasir and the capture of large swathes of territory in the east, where Liraxak’s Citadel would be established. This would be the period in which the SNLF was most successful, although it was still more widely known for the attacks during the Sironian Separatist War during Aldovir.
