Bulvirk War of Independence

Revolution

A new nation is born of blood and war.

Bristol and Gråbløff up the taxation on the Trichthaven colonies in early 903 GA, sparking a revolution. What followed was a war of independence that lasted ten years. The Trichthaven Colonies were resolute. When Bristol acquiesced to the war demands nine years into the fight, they asked what the colony wished to call itself. The rebels declared themselves Bulvirk; a fortress of men.   Gråbløff was less inclined to acknowledge their sovereignty. One hundred and seventy long ships landed up shore from Trichthaven. On the slopes of the Widermount the rebels and their former overlords clashed. The battle was fierce and hard fought, the Nordic Berserkers had taken oath not to return unless victorious. But for the rebels this wasn’t about glory or wealth, this was about life. On the Red Slope two thousand men were felled, but in the end, the men of Trichthaven yet remained. An emissary later arrived bearing the Seal of Gråbløff on a notice of abandonment. Since then Bulverk and Gråbløff have been on cool terms.
