The Steampunk Riots

Revolution

With the wide spread of Elilaurance de Treva's innovations regarding steam technology, the Steampunk begin to formalise their organisation. Creating The Guild of Steam and Piston Enthusiasts (The GSPE), they begin a series of protest marches throughout Hanzig, Leiden, and Varsica.   The Cognite Church responded brutally however, quashing the protests and arresting their leaders without charge. The Palantine Court reacts furiously, eventually leading to their release, but the damage is already done. The Steampunks begin strike action and civil disobedience through the Empire.
