Merchant Lords Supply Boycott of 686
Financial Event
686PL
The implementation of the Economic Rebalance Act of 685 caused an economic standoff between the Merchant Lords Coalition and the Steward’s office. The Dawnrest Merchants’ Consortium pushed back with a boycott, halting the supply of key goods and attempting to cripple Torrin’s reforms. Response: Torrin sought assistance from the Grahamites and Thalantir Loyalists, who helped mobilize grassroots support and provided essential services. The crisis exposed deep rifts within Dawnrest’s elite and demonstrated the growing influence of reformist factions.
