![]() Like.Coulter turning on Trump, in a way? That sort of thing? So you've got these individual cells (because cell-based groups make sense anyways), but the only thing they all agree on is "something's gotta change." And some of those cells want social justice for non-elves, some of those cells want income/economic reform (elven and otherwise), some of those cells want more open borders and increased trade, some of those cells want full-on democracy and an end to this pseudo-medieval system of governance.and then other cells are like "lol fuck those orks man, all the Tir's problems come from too many orks!" or "you know what we need, what we need is MORE rabidly xenophobic border protections, because the Tir is only stumbling right now because we're letting outsiders influence us."Īnd, in some ways, it still is. Hell, some of the rebels were pro-Prince, and were only wanting to rattle their cages a little bit because they felt the Princes weren't being xenophobic ENOUGH. ![]() They didn't all want the same things, they weren't all coming from the same angles, they didn't - at all - agree on what was actually wrong with the Tir. ![]() Among the Rinelle ke'Tesrae ("Rebels of the Spire," the homegrown terrorists/freedom fighters/whatever) were all KINDS of factions, only very uneasily and unsteadily working together. It was a multi-way affair, that had been brewing for a long time. So you've got this chaotic coup situation, where society is falling apart and these badass elven (and a few non-elven) Princes are all grabbing what they can and leaving the country, and then this nation-state renowned for super badass specops murder-ninja combat-mages, these super badass specops murder-ninja combat-mages are all being pointed at each other, or at least in wildly different directions.īecause remember, the Coup wasn't really even as neat and tidy and socially justified as the word 'Coup' implies. ![]() Maybe sworn to the good of the Tir? Sworn to the safety of the Tir's citizens? Sworn to obey the orders of the Star Chamber? Depending on how those oaths (or Oaths, in the case of initiate magicians!) were worded, lots of Paladins might have been sent by non-Princely forces to go after the Princes. THEN you had some Paladins who would've been sworn to.something else. Other Paladins, sworn to a single Prince, were likely sent on nigh-suicide jobs after rival Princes during the chaos (because the old batch of Princes were dickbags that way, immortal and otherwise), so there would've been shit like "everything is falling apart, now is my chance to strike at Wakshaani," and then sending a squad of top-tier (HAHAH TOP-TIR) killers after a rival. Some Paladins were sworn to a single Prince, in which case they were kind of Kingsguard-special-forces, and were the personal retinues and bodyguards, so they were likely the ones hustling their charges away to safety. Many of the most hardcore Tir Paladins (Ghosts and otherwise) either left with their Princes around the time of the coup, or went chasing after Princes who were leaving around the time of the coup. She's napping, I'm available, so have some elf-stuff. Was just.feeling frazzled and had a self-imposed pressure to explain any time I'm not ready to drop elven lore. Crit's napping waiting on some tests later today, I appreciate the vibes, but I'm sorry I mentioned it here. Not SCADS more, but the new High Prince, one of the Telestrian family, has been seen talking about signing the Business Rights Accords to get stimulus money injected into the nation. The whole process did open the country up some ,tho, so now there's a tourism industry and more trade. (Crit should be along soon once his Elf Senses start tingling to lay out more detail about the whole thing.) The Elves are happy and that's what matters! So, there's still a simmering resentment and would-be rebellion, but that's just the dirty non-Elves yammering and who really cares about them? I mean *honestly*. Hey look! We know where the gathering places are and who the ringleaders are (since we were all part of it last week), so let's round 'em up!" Put it back like it was but we have the Rite again."Īnd the underclass went, "Wait, what? But … our fraggin' revolution!"Īnd the people went, "Oh right. So, big ol' messy revolution, Princes scattered to the winds (and one chased down in the street and pulled apart, yikes), after which the people went. Click to expand.Well, the way the revolution happened was that the marginalized underclass (non-Elves) were rebelling, then the Princes cancelled the Rite of Ascension, so suddenly everybody went, "Wait, I don't have a shot at making it big? Frag that!" *tableflip*
