The Chroma Council Conflict

Revolution

Generations after the Second Founding, the Draconic Electorate grew increasingly divided, with its factions becoming more politically entrenched. The Chroma Council, a group of noble and military leaders who still revered the old empire, sought to expand its power, arguing that the Electorate should hold greater control over the monarchy.

Generations after the Second Founding, the Draconic Electorate grew increasingly divided, with its factions becoming more politically entrenched. The Chroma Council, a group of noble and military leaders who still revered the old empire, sought to expand its power, arguing that the Electorate should hold greater control over the monarchy.

When a weak Sovereign took the throne, a ruler elected largely due to political maneuvering rather than strength, the Chroma Council seized the opportunity to push for reforms that would strip the monarchy of its military authority. This move was met with outrage from the noble houses that still backed the Wyrmthrone.

The conflict quickly escalated beyond politics. The Argent Guard, still loyal to the Sovereign, clashed with military legions controlled by Electorate factions, leading to a period of assassinations, skirmishes, and open battles in the streets of Scaelor’s major cities.

Though the monarchy survived, the conflict weakened its grip on the realm. Scaelor’s provinces, once tightly controlled, began to drift toward semi-autonomy, and many military legions started acting as independent power blocs, answering more to their generals than the crown. This led directly to The Third Founding, a desperate attempt to rebuild order.
