Sheeric Uprising

The Sheeric Uprising was a conflict in which the Sheer tribe rebelled in response to King Nicolau II's attempts to push them from their ancestral homelands in the western reaches of the Kingdom of Litticala. Aided by other Naleedites sympathetic to their cause, the Sheer began a campaign of resistance against the crown that quickly turned violent.
King Nicolau II encouraged a swift, harsh response to the Sheeric rebellion, having witnessed the devastation of the Naleedic-Calan War and the Siege of Coromare under King Melchiorre fifty years prior. He was unsuccessful, however, and died before he could quell the uprising. His daughter, Queen Alazne ascended the throne in 221GE and continued to oppress the Sheer in her efforts to end the rebellion. Alazne died of Long Moon Fever in 224 GE without having made any headway in resolving the conflict. Her brother Gaizka only held the throne for one year before drowning in the River Cando, and was no more successful than his father or sister.
A young King Nicolau III, barely of age to rule, quickly established himself as a very different monarch than the three who had preceded him. He insisted upon a more thoughtful approach to the Sheer tribe's demands. Rather than meet violence with violence, Nicolau invited members of the tribe to discuss their concerns with him. Initially, these appeals were met with hostility and a refusal to engage. Inspired by his childhood conversations with the common people of Coromare, however, Nicolau persisted. In 226 GE, against the advice of his counselors, Nicolau rode under a banner of peace to meet personally with Sheeric leaders in the west.
After a year of debate, the Sheeric Uprising officially ended with the signing of the Treaty of Chirossi on 35 Seed Moon, 227 GE. In an unprecedented move, Nicolau agreed to marry a Sheer tribeswoman under the terms of the treaty, marking the first royal marriage to someone not born to a Calan noble family.
