The Resistance

Just over a decade ago, the land of Karnes was rocked by a bloody coup, wherein formerly loyal Karnian Royal Army officer General Morin overthrew the Karnian Royal Family with the assistance of The Theia Commerce Group. Many court functionaries, staff and loyal soldiers died during the coup, which was expertly orchestrated to disrupt and undermine opposition. The King and Queen gave their lives to ensure the successful flight of Prince Alric and Princess Fidelia to the allied nation of Salissia and the protection of their distant kin in the Salissian Royal Family. This set in motion a vast reorganization of loyalist Karnian forces. Escaping into obscurity, loyal Karnian officers and soldiers reemerged as the Resistance a dedicated guerilla army and opposition force that has harassed Morin forces every since. While the Prince and Princess serve as diplomatic leaders, ruling from an embassy-in-exile in Salissia, domestic and military operations have been recentered around the mobile Village-on-Shorewydd, led by loyal officers like Captain Rhyann and Guildmaster Orin. The Resistance has lost many loyal soldiers in the decade of fighting since, notably General Geer who oversaw the protracted civil war over the agricultural region of the Hinterlands. Recently the Resistance has taken to opposing the Morin and Theia forces on another front, seeking to prevent them from releasing the Deity Tiamat from her prison within Soma. It is unclear how or if they expect to benefit from such a self-destructive course but the Resistance has taken to opposing them both on principle and to avoid the accumulation of any other dangerous unholy artifacts like Sealstone from being released into the world.
