Revolution
The western colonies, hard hit by King Rikard's war demands for soldiers and resources, declare independence. The king responds by diverting many of his troops to "retake and punish the western peasants". The decree only intensifies the anti-noble sentiments of the colonies, and the revolution inspires a coalition of scholars and heroes. Chosen to lead is Derak Addam, an Alkay-born charismatic Yorlish noble who renounces all claims to land or title. The war of revolution goes on for five years. IN the end, the colonies win their independence and unite as the Imperial Republic of Addam.
