2395 revolution of Empherias

The 2395 Revolution of Empherias, sometimes referred to as Rhommel's Revolution was a period of political and social revolution that took place in Empherias between 2395 and the early 2400s. The revolution was significant for shifting the political landscape by expanding the voting rights of people and making socialist ideas more acceptable and prevalent. The People's Populist Party, the party that ruled the country following the revolution until 2411, enacted many socialist policies compared to the conservative or liberal policies of the past.

The first major rebellion of the revolution was at Brekenreidkegt city, in the town hall. Violence escalated here due to the publication and virality of the novel released the previous year, and because of the notorious corrupt local government ran by the Lord Anerheim, the Duke of Eystaveil. This rebellion in particular was small but was made up of activists and protesters from not just the city, but around the nation, and of people of all political persuasions, classes, gender, etc. The Town Hall building for the town was seized in the early morning on 25 January 2395 by around five hundred protesters with weapons of lit torches, swords, knives, bats, etc. The pure swarm of people managed to break through the front gates. They smashed windows, injured royal guards, and caused utter chaos with the Duke fled to Esthullen and immediately sent a message to Rijkse James VII of the civil unrest of the nation.

Local populists partaking in the protest was Edgard Morrison, a popular left-wing activist, who was trying to advocate for the adoption of more socialist ideas into government to benefit the people. Another notable one was Felix D'laminet, who was chosen by the local masses to replace the absent Duke in running the local area. He had previously worked as a civil servant in the area and was familiar with his surroundings and wanted to also promote new and radical reforms. Although local government was hardly any sort of power to implement these, he believed that from this seat of power he could convince the rest of the nation to rise up. Felix D'laminet founded the People's Populist Party (PPP) soon after and hired friend Edgard Morrison to help run it. Another popular revolutionary, Henry Alark, was very well-known for his more violent and militarist tendencies. His extremist branch, known as Alarkists, believed that the revolution should stop any diplomacy with the upper class and remove the entire government by force. Nevertheless, D'laminet began campaigning across the country with the help of underground media teams.

Henry Alark moved him and his forces to a small country town to regroup forces and rally his troops. He prepared a militia of well-trained ex-troops and fit volunteers armed with stolen military grade equipment and they planned to storm the government.
