The First Plenum of the Massicot War School
 |
This is a community maintained wiki. If you spot a mistake then you are welcome to fix it. |
Chairs and tables had been laid out in the grand hall of the Massicot War School, complete with placards listing name and rank at every seat, and by noon the hall was filled with creatures of all races and nationalities. While most seats were filled with experienced bannerkirin and promising officers from the war school, many more were filled with foreign attaches and even veteran mercenary leaders. They had all been gathered in Massicot for one purpose: to finally initiate desperately needed reforms to turn the archaic banner army of Kiria into a modern military and fighting force.
Of course, such a wide scope of creatures meant numerous ideas and plans were proposed in direct opposition to each other, and at times the discussion grew tense as real world politics managed to infiltrate the war school and some foreign attaches nearly came to blows, but the professors of the war school managed to defuse those situations before they could spark an international incident. By the time evening came around, much had been discussed, and while little in the way of firm details had been decided, the gathered advisors had at least hammered out the framework of Kiria's modern army: the 60 Division Plan, a recommendation to reorganize the Realm's army from heterogenous banner armies into sixty homogenous fighting formations..

A Grand Gallop Onward!

This is a community maintained wiki. If you spot a mistake then you are welcome to fix it. |
[This.GetNewspaperHeader]On the steps of the Vermilion Palace with the Matriarch Superior of Kiria by her side, Premier Autumn Blaze proudly proclaimed to the world that the Realm of Kiria had concluded its ambitious Grand Gallop Onward and was ready to rejoin the international community. Many thought that cramming a century's worth of technological and societal advancements into three and a half years of modernisation would be an impossible feat, but the kirin have managed to achieve it nevertheless. With a new major power entering the stage in Eastern Zebrica, many neighbors of the kirin are now left to wonder just what a resurgent Kiria means for them, and how they will tip the global balance of power.

Plebiscite of the Northern Compact
|
|
This is a community maintained wiki. If you spot a mistake then you are welcome to fix it. |
[This.GetNewspaperHeader]Fickle Current, chairkirin of the NAKP, addressed the Realm of Kiria by radio today to propose the idea of a Northern Compact to listeners across the realm. Identifying that the cities of Fragrance, Rhapsody, Radiance, and all the towns in between are in a different watershed from the Great Mellifluve, which serves as the unifying cultural force of southern Kiria, Chairkirin Current proposed that the kirin of the north band together to protect their traditions and autonomy from their brethren in Vermilion and the south. He then announced that in the interest of creating a promoting a strong and wealthy Northern Compact, the NAKP aims to hold a regional Plebiscite in the near future where all kirin of the north can vote on whether or not to join with Fragrance's Compact. Though this action has raised cries of protest and anger in Vermilion, it is unclear if Matriarch Superior Rain Shine has enough political influence to stop the vote.

The Northern Compact is Born

[This.GetNewspaperHeader]The controversial Plebiscite for the creation of the Northern Compact for Self-Determination, a massive political undertaking by the NAKP in Fragrance, drew to a close today as the final votes were tallied across the Greater Providence region. To the shock of Vermilion and the relief of Fragrance, an undeniable majority of kirin in the Greater Providence region voted to secede from the Realm of Kiria and join the Council of North Kiria in the formation of a Northern Compact. As the kirin of the north celebrate in the streets, the Plebiscite has dramatic consequences at home in Vermilion. With Greater Providence splitting from the Realm of Kiria, a large amount of Vermilion's industrial power has changed hooves, depriving it of resources it needs to combat the unrest in its westernmost regions. Time will tell if this will tip the balance in the struggle between The Way of Fire and The Rising Fire.

[This.GetNewspaperHeader]The controversial Plebiscite for the creation of the Northern Compact for Self-Determination, a massive political undertaking by the NAKP in Fragrance, drew to a close today as the final votes were tallied across the Greater Providence region. To the shock of Fragrance and the relief of Vermilion, the NAKP failed to secure a substantial majority of the votes in favor of secession, making any such movements unlikely to happen. Several months of anxiety have come to an end in Vermilion, who will manage to cling onto their northern industry and population centers, and the results of the Plebiscite mark a devastating blow for the Council of North Kiria. With the matter of the Plebiscite now settled, Vermilion is free to focus its attention on dealing with the unrest in its the Realm's west, and the repudiation of the NAKP's efforts may be the death knell of Fragrance's ambitions.

Vermilion Gives In

[This.GetNewspaperHeader]When the Plebiscite for the creation of the Northern Compact for Self-Determination ended with the secessionist NAKP securing a significant yet not overwhelming majority in the unlawful vote to allow the north to secede from the Realm of Kiria, nokirin quite knew what would happen next. The NAKP was swift to champion the results of the contested vote, even though it was declared unlawful by Vermilion, and sent an ultimatum to Matriarch Superior Rain Shine to respect the will of the kirin of the north or suffer the consequences. Rather than risk an all-out war with Fragrance and a massive insurgency throughout the region of Greater Providence, Matriarch Rain Shine has agreed to the ultimatum and allowed Fragrance to annex its northern states without bloodshed. This is a great victory for the NAKP and a disastrous blow against Vermilion's authority, but this is likely not the end of the NAKP's ambitions.

When Vermilion issued no response to the ultimatum, Fickle Current declared from Fragrance that a state of war now exists between the Council of North Kiria and the Vermilion Realm. Fierce fighting has already broken out between pro-independence and pro-Vermilion militias throughout the region of Greater Providence, and troops from Fragrance have been mobilized to the border to liberate the north.

The Matriarch Heads North

[This.GetNewspaperHeader]Matriarch Superior Rain Shine and her entourage departed Vermilion today, their destination the contested provinces of the Greater Providence region in the north. With Fragrance and the NAKP aggressively campaigning to convince the kirin of the north to secede from the Realm of Kiria, the Matriarch evidently felt that such a tour was necessary to to prevent the loss of these valuable industrialized lands. Though there is an undeniable sense of discontent throughout Greater Providence with the state of Vermilion's rule, and many of Rain Shine's closest advisors have warned her about the potential dangers of venturing into the north, the Matriarch is determined to see the tour through. This may be the last time the Matriarch is able to freely set hoof in the north if her gamble fails to rouse enough loyalist support to foil the NAKP's plans.

Fickle Current On Tour

[This.GetNewspaperHeader]Fickle Current, chairkirin of the NAKP and the mastermind behind its rise to prominence in Fragrance and throughout the north, announced that he will be touring the region of Greater Providence to rally support for the Northern Compact for Self-Determination, a question of secession that would cause the north to split from Vermilion and align itself instead with Fragrance. While Current has not officially been declared a traitor in Vermilion, it is undeniable that he is the de facto head of state of a breakaway nation that has repudiated Vermilion's authority, and there is some risk in setting hoof in lands still administered by the Realm of Kiria. However, the local authorities within Greater Providence have declared that they will not interfere with his tour, and Vermilion will not dare to cause a crisis by ordering his arrest during it. Only time will tell if Current's tour will be successful or merely a distraction.

Vermilion's Brain Drain

[This.GetNewspaperHeader]The last vestiges of the All-Kiria Collegium shuttered its doors today and abandoned its campus in Vermilion. Once a proud institution championed by the NAKP during the Grand Gallop Onward, authorities in the Realm's capital hounded its faculty and students over charges of subversive thought following the secession of Fragrance and the north at the NAKP's behest. Rather than let the foreign intellectuals scatter to the winds, however, the NAKP has promised the former faculty of the Collegium a brand new campus and funding to educate kirin in Fragrance, and many have readily accepted on the promise that the state will not interfere with their work and research. Vermilion, already beset by many different crises, now finds itself facing one of brain drain as well.

[This.GetNewspaperHeader]Fickle Current, chairkirin of the NAKP, announced today that the NAKP officially recognizes the Matriarch Superior in Vermilion as the one and only sovereign over all kirin and Concord's chosen avatar on earth. The announcement was seen as a surprise by many, given the great lengths that the NAKP went through to claim autonomy and independence for Fragrance and Realm's north following the failure of the Grand Gallop Onward. Current, however, has condemned the Fraternal Republic of the Rising Fire as a fundamentalist death cult that aims to destroy kirin civilization, history, and culture, and so has taken a stand alongside Vermilion to end this threat for good. But Current is a shrewd businesskirin, and one can only wonder what he will expect in return for Fragrance's assistance to Vermilion.

The Peony Accord

[This.GetNewspaperHeader]A surprising announcement was made to the world in a joint statement from the kirin leaders in Vermilion and Fragrance. Due to the existential threat to Kirin civilisation posed by the self-proclaimed Fraternal Republic in the Western Territories, ruled by the heretical Rising Fire cult, Chairkirin Fickle Current of the National Association of Kirin Patriots and Acting-Premier Fern Flare of the Vermilion Realm have announced the formation of a United Front against the Rising Fire. Closer scrutiny of the Peony Accord reveals that this defensive pact is primarily directed against the Fraternal Republic as a shared enemy, and is slated for annulment the moment the Western Territories are pacified. Unlikely as it was, this alliance would seem to portend the doom of the Rising Fire revolt.

The Viceroyalty of Greater Providence

[This.GetNewspaperHeader]In a surprising development, Chairkirin Fickle Current of the National Association of Kirin Patriots has agreed to declare the Viceroyalty of Greater Providence in the north of the Vermilion Realm of Kiria, and pledge loyalty to the Matriarch Superior in Vermilion. While this would seem to go against the narrative of independence for the north that the NAKP has championed for so long, Vermilion's influence in the Viceroyalty is limited, and, Fickle Current, now Viceroy of Providence, has only sworn an oath of allegiance to the Matriarch Superior to support the Realm however he sees fit. Greater Providence will retain a large degree of independence, though undoubtedly both sides will soon test the legal boundaries of the new Viceroyalty. Time will tell if it will be successful.

[This.GetNewspaperHeader]Chairkirin Fickle Current of the National Association of Kirin Patriots today formally approved measures to reconcile the differences between the population centers of Fragrance and Vermilion through the creation of the Confederal Union of North Kiria. The measure, which was approved and applauded by political figures both in the Vermilion Realm and in the territories of Greater Providence controlled by Fragrance, formally recognizes North Kiria as a sovereign state under the sole jurisdiction of the NAKP, situated in Fragrance as its capital. While the Union continues to recognize the Matriarch Superior as its spiritual and religious head of state, there is no doubt after the NAKP's landslide victory in elections held throughout the north that the north is now its own nation state free from the influence of Vermilion.

[This.GetNewspaperHeader]Airwaves across the fractured Realm of Kiria sprang to life this morning with news that Chairkirin Fickle Current of the NAKP has mobilized the resources controlled by Fragrance toward the destruction of the threat posed by Rising Sun's Fraternal Republic of Kiria. Citing the danger of revolution and heresy to the long-term stability of the Vermilion Realm of Kiria, Fickle Current expressed his unyielding support for Matriarch Superior Rain Shine in Vermilion and pledged to do everything in his power to fight until the threat posed by the Rising Fire heretics is no more. With the rest of the Realm aligned against them, this may spell the end for the revolt in the western lands of Kiria.

Brokered by Chairkirin Fickle Current of the NAKP, the Peace of Massicot calls for the immediate cessation of hostilities and the peaceful partitioning of the Realm into the east and west. Rising Sun and the Fraternal Republic of Kiria will be awarded land up to the western banks of the Great Mellifluve, and in addition, they will be awarded the city of Verdant. In a statement given after the signing, Matriarch Superior Rain Shine announced that she will happily trade away land to protect the lives of all her precious kirin, and expressed her hope that with time these dreadful scars of war will yet heal.

Before dawn today, military units under the command of NAKP officers marched into key strategic locations and urban centers throughout the Realm and quickly seized control, wresting authority away from the inefficient and mutinous garrisons provided by Vermilion and bringing stability to the Realm once more. Shortly afterwards, Matriarch Superior Rain Shine read a statement in support of the NAKP's actions and urging forces loyal to Vermilion to cooperate with orders from Fragrance, though it remains unclear at this moment whether the Matriarch's statement was made under duress.

Decrying the weakness of the Vermilion government which resulted in the total and dismal failure of the Grand Gallop Onward and the unconstrained growth of the heretical Rising Fire in the west, he claimed that the NAKP, as the vanguard of Kirian civilisation and progress, has taken on the mantle of saving the nation from the vestigial forces of superstition, pusillanimity, and ineptitude long entrenched by the Silence. He then declared that Greater Providence shall liberate the rest of the Realm, and called on all true patriots of Kiria to join with the NAKP and topple the ineffective mystics who have brought the nation to the brink of ruin. At press time, reports of NAKP-sponsored troops have crossed the borders of Greater Providence and are spilling into the Great Mellifluve watershed.

Artillery eventually joined the fighting, the cannonade rumbling across the countryside as the two factions grew increasingly invested in the melee, and by the time combat reached a lull, dozens of kirin lay dead or wounded on each side.

[This.GetNewspaperHeader]An uprising in the city of Massicot, the hometown of Premier Autumn Blaze, was quickly and effortlessly stomped out this morning after a night of chaos and bloodshed. A self-proclaimed citizens' council of students and workers banded together to proclaim an independent democracy in the city, disavowing Matriarch Superior Rain Shine and the government in Vermilion, and attempted to chase tax collectors and the local recruitment officer out of the town before devolving into a riot. When a detachment of bannerkirin arrived in the morning to reestablish control, the revolutionaries resisted, but were driven from their barricades in frenetic and confused street fighting. The leaders of the uprising are assumed dead or gone into hiding, though it is not clear what started the uprising in the first place. Eyewitnesses claim that they chanted for peace, justice, and bread, not the religious slogans of the Rising Fire. Premier Autumn Blaze was unavailable for comment on this developing story.

[This.GetNewspaperHeader]"It was like a firestorm, but worse. Angry, screaming, and growing closer by the minute." That was how one soldier fighting on behalf of the NAKP described the chaos across the front lines early this week. The Triumvirate in Vermilion has collapsed into anarchy, with the three leaders of Winter Frost, Rising Sun, and Premier Autumn Blaze vying for control over the ruined state. A coup attempt in Vermilion erupted into a second civil war, and the once unified allied factions have devolved into something akin to the pre-Vermilion era nirik warlord states, leaving destruction wherever they fight. Only the NAKP remains standing and sane, and Chairkirin Fickle Current has vowed to stand strong and repulse the regressive tide of warlordism. For the sake of the Realm, one can only hope he will be successful.

It is hard to argue with his proclamation; though the former premier's government still simmers in resistance and a low-intensity guerilla conflict against the Rising Fire continues to burn in the west, the flags of Greater Providence flying throughout all of the Realm's major cities state the Chairkirin's claim as absolute fact. From the ashes of the Grand Gallop Onward, the NAKP has moved to rebuild the Realm with its own vision of the future, one rooted in the unlimited prosperity of the party's deep pockets.

[This.GetNewspaperHeader]In an unexpected development, Matriarch Superior Rain Shine appeared beside NAKP Chairkirin Fickle Current today to assert her support for the NAKP in its custodianship of the Realm of Kiria. Many assumed that the Matriarch would have gone into exile or hiding as the NAKP slowly wrested control of the country away from her supporters, but with the war concluded, she has returned to her throne in Vermilion. How or why is anycreature's guess, but the Matriarch reaffirmed her role as the avatar of Concord on this world and the guardian and protector of the Kirian people, as the Matriarchs Superior always have been, and stated that Fickle Current would serve as the Realm's new Imperial Premier. Finally at the conclusion of her speech, the Matriarch apologized to the people of Kiria for the failure of the Grand Gallop Onward as a consequence of her misguided judgments, but promised that with the NAKP's support, she would not make such mistakes in the future.

 Rain Shine
For the average kirin, not much has changed for Matriarch Superior Rain Shine: she has and will continue to be Concord's avatar in this mortal dimension, and she will maintain her religious duties for The Way of Fire. The NAKP, on the other hoof, has assumed all other duties to run the nation in Her name.

[This.GetNewspaperHeader]Last night, it was announced that the government in exile of the Fraternal Republic had agreed to a cease-fire with the Realm of Kiria. The Realm had not all that long ago secured the heartlands of the Fraternal Republic and sent its leadership scurrying westward into the mountains, where the haggard remnants of the Republic's army invaded and subdued the disorganized resistance of Taungpau in a desperate bid for land and time. While the Rising Fire now governs the kirin, llama, and alpaca natives under a military occupation, the Realm of Kiria appears disinterested in continuing their campaign into the mountains. Peace reigns for now, but time will tell whether the Rising Fire will make a rebound or if their dream of a liberated Kiria dies in Taungpau.

[This.GetNewspaperHeader]In light of the recent establishment of Corporate Tithes, the 12 vassal corporations of Kiria, or VasCorps as they are more commonly known, have published a joint statement across the Realm voicing their concern with the new measures that the NAKP has decided to undertake. While the VasCorps insist that they are willing to pay their fair share in the interest of economic stability in the end, they have unanimously decried the new tithes as an overreach in taxation and a smothering burden that will stifle the growth of the free market. They concluded their statement with a message directly to Chairkirin Current, reminding him that it would be in the nation's best interests to be receptive to the VasCorps opinions, and expressed their wishes that any future business decisions such as this one be first presented to the corporations for their thoughts on the matter. It would, after all, be a troublesome development if the business interests of the NAKP and the VasCorps were to no longer align.

[This.GetNewspaperHeader]The intense fighting devastating the Sunshine Headlands in Kiria has inadvertently revealed an ancient secret — a millennia-old tomb buried beneath tonnes of rock and soil, now uncovered by the bombardment of its environs. It was local kirin seeking shelter from shelling who chanced upon it, and found within a sarcophagus made of an unknown metal alloy. Inside was a skeleton of a tall, slender equinoid, lacking the scales of a kirin. Protruding from its forehead was a long, curved and sharp horn. The possibility of fakery notwithstanding, this is the first time the remains of an eastern unicorn have been found. In mythology predating the Way of Fire, the kirin race was the progeny of interbreeding between the eastern unicorns — reputed to have prodigious magical ability, flowing manes, lithe figures, and elegant horns — and dragons. Though this discovery has spurred some domestic interest, the war in Kiria meant most attention came from foreign observers and archaeologists.

[This.GetNewspaperHeader]In a long-awaited announcement, Chairmare Silver Silks of the Sycee Trading House announced today that the House had agreed to an armistice with the All-Kiria Artificers' Guild and both VasCorps had agreed to a private settlement to square away any lingering disputes. Though details of the settlement remain scarce, it is believed that the Guild is expected to pay large reparations to Sycee in light of the damages suffered during the KirCorWar, as it has come to be known. With the demobilization of the VasCorp security forces, the NAKP has returned to assert its central authority throughout the Realm, once more unifying it behind the party. Sycee's stocks rose greatly in value following the news, while the Guild's conversely plummeted. Though the Guild is in little danger of declaring bankruptcy, it will take years to recover from their defeat, while their rival only grows stronger. In light of her success and prestige in navigating the conflict, Silver Silks was offered a position in the government, which she has accepted.

Though details of the settlement are sparse, it is believed that Sycee will have to pay the Guild extensive reparations and cease business operations in areas under the Guild's influence. The Guild's stock prices rose sharply at the news, and Guildmaster Fulgent Focus made a surprise announcement that he will be joining the NAKP government as a senior advisor. Sycee's stocks, on the other hoof, fell dramatically, almost reaching penny-stock status.

[This.GetNewspaperHeader]Ferocious riots have erupted in Fragrance, forcing the withdrawal of the local Rising Fire garrison. The unrest began with First Priestess Rising Sun's decree ordering the dismantlement and relocation of all heavy industry in Fragrance westwards. Incarnadine Soldiery dispatched to strip the Fragrance Mirin Plant of its valuable machinery were confronted by the night shift, who beat the Soldiery back from the factory gates. The reason for the unrest is unclear; one version of events state that the plant workers had challenged the provenance of the First Priestess's decree, and accused the Soldiery of planning to sell the seized machinery on the black market. The plant workers were quickly joined by workers from nearby factories and arriving morning shift workers. Soon, all of Fragrance was up in arms against the Rising Fire.

The unrest began with First Priestess Rising Sun's decree ordering the disarmament and disbandment of all extant irregular forces not under the Rising Fire's control. Incarnadine Soldiery dispatched to Fragrance to confiscate two dozen cannon at the Poplar Heights Battery—paid for by public subscription while the city was under NAKP rule—were fired upon by Fragrancese militiakirin under unclear circumstances. The most popular account states that the Incarnadine Soldiery refused to procure a copy of the First Priestess's decree when challenged on the lawfulness of their raid, and instead attempted to overpower and disarm the militiakirin. Soon, all of Fragrance was up in arms against the Rising Fire.

[This.GetNewspaperHeader]Ferocious riots have erupted in Fragrance, forcing the withdrawal of the local Rising Fire garrison. The unrest began with First Priestess Rising Sun's decree ordering the dissolution of all extant independent political factions and their assimilation into the All-Communion Path of the Rising Fire. Some activists of the Marksist-Stallionist Workers' Party of Kiria, acting—according to our informants—outside of party discipline, gave a speech about maintaining democratic pluralism in the nascent Fraternal Republic and declared their intention to disobey the First Priestess's decree, in the presence of hundreds in Chrysanthemum Plaza. An attempt by Incarnadine Soldiery to arrest the dissenters was thwarted by the infuriated crowd, on whose swelling numbers the Soldiery ultimately opened fire. Soon, all of Fragrance was up in arms against the Rising Fire.

Forces loyal to the [KIC.GetName] have withdrawn from Fragrance and have regrouped outside the city to prepare a counterattack. Fragrance's city gates have been shut, and fighters on both sides oil their rifles and sharpen their bayonets for the upcoming battle. Barricades have been erected all around Fragrance, patching up breaches in the city walls accumulated during the city's first siege—and capitulation to the Rising Fire—and forming secondary and tertiary defence lines. The Fragrancese kirin have formed neighborhood and district councils, which begin to carry out the social revolution while the first shells from Vermilian siege artillery fall on the city. Whether the Fragrancese revolution survives will depend on the tenacity of its defenders.

[This.GetNewspaperHeader]As the Fragrance riots blossom into revolution, North Kiria and Greater Providence convulse in sympathy riots, strikes and protests. Old and new enemies of the Rising Fire, including remnants of the NAKP, ex-Sycee mercenaries-turned-bandits, surviving local landlords, disgruntled urban artisans and guildsmares, enraged peasantry, Way of Fire ultratraditionalist guerillas, harmonist-liberal militias and MSWPK cells, have seized the opportunity to resolve their own grievances against the Rising Fire and each other. Rapid prophylactic crackdowns by local Rising Fire garrisons have prevented the myriad insurrectionaries from seizing power and proclaiming revolutionary governments in the other cities and settlements of the north, but the continuing unrest and insurgency will be another thorn in Vermilion's side as they hasten to suppress the Fragrancese revolt.

In a petition delivered to the Premier, the RaHP rebels condemn the unconstitutionality and potential illegality of the fait accompli of the unsanctioned expansion of KIRFORS's mandate as an 'ultra vires' escalation of the Far South Intervention. The rebels threaten to block national and provincial budgets and approval for military funding and appointments until KIRFORS troop numbers in the Far South are reduced. Though no cabinet or ministerial-level RaHP delegates have joined the revolt, the party's upper echelons have not condemned it either. Premier Autumn Blaze has refused RA demands to enforce party discipline and has opened negotiations with the rebelling backbenchers.

Junks choked the Yellowood River in a nautical gridlock, the latest feature of the urgently unfolding chaos in Massicot—the new headquarters of the mutinous New Standard Army.
Inside a commandeered riverside warehouse, Bright Burn agonised over a morass of orders and plans, an effort hindered by the fact that most of his hoofpicked staff were elsewhere in the city coordinating the mobilisation. He'd thrown the Hierocracy off balance with the element of surprise, but that advantage would wither away when the false Premier, Winter Frost, recovered her bearings, and mobilised the Realm's vast armies against him.
"How're things going?" Fern Flare, the kirin leading what was left of the true RaHP—the party of Autumn—approached Bright. "It's... bad, isn't it?"
"We'll soldier on," he replied, pushing papers away with his telekinesis. "So many young volunteers signed up to defend Harmony in the war, but found themselves being ground to dust by the Hierocracy's machine afterwards. Now, we're what's left, the only voice of the denied and deprived. If only Autumn..."
"She's done all she can, the poor mare." Having realised she never took a seat, she levitated the chair to Bright's side. She'd met him at least once before, standing side by side with a bushy-tailed Autumn, when the Grand Gallop Onward had just begun and a bright future for Kiria seemed just within reach. Yet today, here they were, with the burden of being Harmony's last defenders against Winter Frost and her new Silence having fallen on their withers. As leader of the mutiny, his hooves would soon be stained the loyal blood of tens of thousands of Kiria's finest on both sides of the new civil war.
Their eyes turned to a framed image of Autumn, the face of one many-times betrayed: by Winter Frost, by the RaHP, and ultimately, by the Matriarch herself. They knew what was at stake, and what they must do.

The aroma of grease, gunpowder, and innumerable kirin wafted through the temple, having replaced the fragrance of incense since Bright Burn and a hundred other young soldiers had stormed the compound. The temple had been commandeered as a recruiting and training post, now overflowing with armaments, supplies, and fresh recruits. Above the entrance, a portrait of Autumn Blaze hung. This temple had been the fateful place where she had been educated—prepared for her historic endeavour to deliver kirinity from the Silence. Now, Autumn's followers prepared to fight to save what their leader had accomplished, from the reactionaries and mystics of Winter Frost's Hierocracy.
A line of fresh, eager faces had shown up earlier this morning to enlist. Lunch came and went; the line had only grown longer. "There's just too many to process!" a clerk said to Bright Burn. "We might have to start turning kirin away."
"Let them come," Bright Burn answered. They'd come after his proclamation on the radio, which he had found the time to make only after weeks of cobbling up a functioning government that wasn't just soldiers commandeering and requisitioning what they needed. Spotting a kirin beyond the line of recruiters, half-paralysed on a cot carried by her friends, he hastened to her. "Young mare, what's your name?"
"She's called Gossamer, sir," cut in one of her carriers. "We told her she couldn't join because of her, er, 'condition', but—"
"Ma'am, can you speak?" Bright spoke to Gossamer directly, ignoring her compatriots. "Can you learn military lingo and comms etiquette in a week?" After getting a nod and a simple yes from her, "Tell your friends to skip the line. We have radio equipment and wheelchairs inside."
Those friends went slackjawed, but quickly recovered when a sergeant ordered them to bring Gossamer into the temple to get her forehooves on manuals and receivers.

At Massicot's central radio station, a board of flickering indicators stabilised under Gossamer's command. They shifted from red to green at the turn of a knob. Crackling out of the receiver, then, was, "North Kiria Naval Command, reporting from Sycee. Massicot, you've made a brave stand. We northerners have hosted the world's ships in our harbours, even through the Silence. Let not the tyrants in Vermilion return us to those dark days!"
Before she could properly respond, another light turned on, the static modulating into the clear, crisp voice of a mare. "Coming at ya', live from Sorghum! They're gonna shove us back into the dirt, or into the furnaces, aren't they? Living to work and working to live and nothing more, right? We won't be pushed back into the past!"
Still another light signalled yet another broadcaster, their first words choppy, then: "...lo? Hello! If you're listening to this, we're the Young Kiria Party. Massicot calls, and Chrysanthemum answers! Winter Frost, the tyrant Noctilucent Charm reincarnate, conspires to shackle all kirinity to the corpse of the Hierocracy! She stifles our mouths and censors our minds so that the priests and mystics can grow fat and rich off the backs of the kirin! No more! Let the masses lead themselves! Do not let us down, Kiria, for we are your sons and daughters... we'd rather die in truth than live a lie!"
A melange of strings, percussion, and windpipes blasted out of those speakers, the strained backing to the broadcasts from many smaller radio stations represented by the constellation of blinking green indicators.

"Glad you can see reason," Bright Burn said, huddled in a hut in no mare's land. Guns and larger emplacements were stationed several klicks away, but today, they were silent.
Seated across, Winter Frost nodded. "Likewise. Churning out corpses in a perverted display of 'sacrifice' is a bitter ritual for the both of us. It is as if we have not learned our lesson from the last war."
"Like leaving things be," he said. "If we just let Rising Sun and Fickle Current hold their own governments, they would've fallen under their heavy-hoofed regimes. Long before their authoritarian ways fell, their poor and trampled would've come back to us. It was a test of time we could've won."
Winter raised a brow. "With this deal, the kirin will migrate to your lands, away from the 'overbearing' Matriarch Superior and Concord, expecting us to flounder in her trials. Thusly, you hope." After sizing up the general, "What else has stood the test of time than the Way of Fire? Concord's Way and the Matriarchs' intercessions have sustained us for as long as we've been united. By that test, should we not be wary of republics and revolutions? Turn to Griffonia to see their offspring succumb either to corruption or death. Shall you put your stake in those who fall short of Concord?"
"They might've failed," he began, quelling his own anger, "but haven't you, too? The Hierocracy could not find adequate answers to the woes of the kirin, so what did they do? Sabotage the RaHP, slander Autumn and Fern, stuff the government with priestess and mystics... with such under-hoofed tactics, I'd say you cheated."
Frost could only raise a brow before standing up. "If you shall be that way, may Concord give the both of us the strength to pass. Honourably."

"Be grateful that you have been given the courtesy of a free and fair trial before a jury of your equals," Bright Burn proclaimed as Winter Frost and the rest of the Hierocracy left the Vermilion Palace in chains, having been stripped of their ceremonial robes and hats. Onlookers from the crowd outside the Palace pelted their deposed rulers with bottles and rocks, though the guards' magic ricocheted the projectiles away.
As he turned to face the crowd, fireworks bloomed over Bright's head, a rapturous echo of the gunfire and explosions from the capture of the Vermilion Palace. From the balconies and eaves of the Palace, the Five Stripes were unfurled. The courtyards were awash with celebrating kirin from all walks of life—soldiers, workers, peasants, intellectuals, ordinary kirin enjoying their first day as citizens of the new Republic. Judging from radio reports, the scene was repeating itself in Fragrance, Massicot, Chrysanthemum...
"It's done" Fern Flare murmured, wrapping her foreleg around Bright Burn's withers. Bright Burn made to respond, but suddenly, Fern Flare turned away. "Autumn?"
Looking over his shoulder, Autumn trotted onto the balcony, her dark-rimmed eyes a window to the beaten soul within. "Hey, Autumn! We did it! Come here!"
Bright Burn let go of Fern, who wrapped Autumn into a tight embrace. He then turned to the rest of Kiria: free, independent, sovereign.

An underground bunker had been built under Winter Frost's orders to combat the ever-present threat of the city's sacking. When Frost had shown Rain Shine the finished product, all the tapestries and banners and incense clashed with canned food, she felt only small, misguided comfort. If she'd fully acquiesced, she'd be in that prison. Cosy, yet suffocating, silencing.
A knock came at the door of her private lodging. Rain Shine deigned to open it for President Fern Flare and the rest of her delegation: Bright Burn and Firethorn who half-bowed as they entered, and former Premier Autumn Blaze... Rain Shine locked eyes with hers, only to find an ocean of agonising what-if's rumbling within. The hours of deliberation, of what to say to her, must've ground her idealism to dust. Still, she and harmony had won, if only in a roundabout way.
"Dear Matriarch Superior," Fern Flare began, having memorised a prepared statement, "we love you most dearly. We've striven to love you to the same level with which you love us. Concord would not have chosen you, would not have let you thrive, had She not found you worthy. Yet, Winter Frost's master-class of a deception had tricked even you. We have failed in our duty to serve you, that we could not have stopped her from poisoning your heart...
"But as much as we repent, we also realise that Winter Frost's designs could have only come about by the gross abuse of your position and influence over all Kiria. As long as you hold a spiritual-governmental role, another Winter Frost may deceive in your name, for such a role possesses too much power to not covet for. So, for the safety and sake of both you and your children, we ask that you step down as ruler... and that the Matriarch Superior shall hold sway only for the matters of The Way."

Far from the cavalcade of toasting speeches and tea-filled feasts with different-limbed delegates, Fern Flare found serenity in in the wee hours of a little farming village huddled in the far west. Rice fields and paddies were lurked everywhere, where eyes and horns through bamboo hats watched her, waved at her.
A house had been most hospitable to her during her first visit, so she'd gone here again, munching on day-old spring rolls. Two foals had scampered outside, having heard the whirrs of trucks and other machines. "This is the first time they've seen these things?"
"Yes," their mother replied, eating as well. "We've been waiting for help from above, from kirin like you." Her muzzle scrunched, worry staining its features. "What if it's not enough? What if we get displaced by the big groups?"
"We'll help you, no matter what," Fern Flare said, "but if that fails, we've got other options open. Your kids can move into the city, worse comes to worst." After fielding a few more questions, "Don't worry. We'll be on your side. In fact... you can be a part of us."
"A part of you? That's the voting, the election... I don't remember voting for you."
"I get that a lot." She allowed laughter to flow from her tongue. "Millions of us can vote, but it's clear we have much to do. I... don't want to leave you unheard, ma'am. When everything's done, you'll be listened to. Not just the president... who leads this area, who leads this state, who leads this village... we're your servants, because without you, there'd be no Kiria to live free for."

DO WE LIVE IN CONCORD'S HARMONY? We do not. The lowly kirin are stripped of a voice, consigned to stagnancy and oppression.
WHY ARE WE STRIPPED OF A VOICE? The Matriarch Superior Herself, Rain Shine, has been led astray from the tenets passed down to her from Concord.
HOW HAS RAIN SHINE GONE ASTRAY?
1. By letting the Hierocracy call the shots over her better judgement, she has warred with herself.
2. By allowing the Hierocracy to perpetuate the hierarchies that, by themselves, perpetuated the Silence, she has warred with her neighbour.
3. By not correcting Winter Frost and her Hierocracy for every kirin-killing plan they propose, she has warred with Concord.
4. By choosing not to master her own fire but to silence it for the sake of a lesser light that seeks to cajole and enslave, she has embraced the inferno's impulses.
5. By debasing herself to legitimise Winter Frost's decrees, she has accepted the corruption of her unique gifts.
WHAT MUST BE DONE? WHO ALONE IS WITH US? To arise, with balanced yet armed heart, for the emancipation of an entire nation. We are many as well: surrounding this paper are enough signatures to form their own armies against the Imperial Premier's unjust sanctions. These are patriots who have seen the sufferings of their fellow kirin and have chosen to raise their voice, to rightfully take up arms against the new Silence looming above us, in an unquenchable cry of resistance and glory!
IN THE NAME OF THE KIRIN, FOR THE SAKE OF OUR FOALS AND GRANDFOALS, UNDER THE COMMAND OF GENERAL FIRETHORN, WE DECLARE THE REVOLT OF REASON. FOR THOSE WHO HAVE BETRAYED THE KIRIN AND THE REALM, WE CAN ONLY HOPE THAT FUTURE GENERATIONS WILL JUDGE YOU LIGHTLY.

"Signal's lost!" announced a radiokirin tangled in a web of wires and connectors as Winter Frost galloped into the transceiver station. "Sorghum, Chrysanthemum, near everything north of Fragrance..."
While the technicians fiddled with their buttons and dials, Winter took in the filth blaring through the receivers. Pledges of misguided loyalty to the traitors in Massicot, vitriolic denunciations of her Matriarch-ordained regime, songs and speeches filled with the vilest blasphemy imaginable...
"The rot runs deep," she later told the Matriarch Superior in her quarters, illuminated by the dim glow of candles and slow-burning incense. "I had imagined that the untold scale of suffering we've borne witness to—suffering by our own hooves, no less—would've been enough divine retribution for the faithlessness of the Realm. Yet Concord has seen fit to test us once more."
She found herself pacing across the chamber, aware of the furious nirik bristling under her coat. It would be useless to try to reason with the revolting rabble, to attempt to appeal to their piety; Concord has already damned them to the immoral torture of their own seared natures. "Matriarch, there is no negotiating with a flood, no bargaining with a wildfire. You must denounce these wayward foals, paint them as traitors to Concord, the Matriarchate, and the Way. Everykirin must be made to decide who they stand with: Concord, or heresy."
Winter could detect the turmoil in the Matriarch's eyes. She considered what she would have to do if it turned out that too much of Autumn's heretical sympathies, her weak-willed compassion and naivety, had rubbed off on Rain Shine. But with a hefty inhale, the Matriarch only nodded.

"No, I won't! Not when I know you're there!" heard Cayenne Pique through the transceiver.
His stare had been fixed on his kill, [KIR.GetKillHCHname], head of a Banner that directly served the Hierocracy. The plan was to kill her before a plane made from scraps and stolen plans firebombed the Banner's nerve centre — to be done in secret, to be then revealed to every kirin as a powerful blow against Winter Frost. The rattle of gun shots from his Massicot comrades signalled a back-up plan: stall for time then leave before the heavenly inferno fell.
"Fly to position and drop, Capsaicin, and land far from here," Cayenne ordered. He crunched the device under his hooves. Any plea Capsaicin Spray, the fire plane's pilot, could've delivered... wouldn't be. Cayenne feared any chance for second thoughts.
Smoke had fogged the ground floor; the flash of bullets lit the way forward. Every sordid face that worked here had done so without backing out: by brush or baton, they erased the existence of entire villages and organisations, where rumours yielded the truths of torture. Up to now, they refused to yield: the dozen bodies of Cayenne's squad lay sprawled in the foyer. A stillborn invasion.
Everything grabbed him—pinned to the metal floor. Teeth grit; they bled. Calm eyes and a muzzle and a blade greeted him over the whine of rotors, of engines, of death from above.
Cayenne's own eyes widened. "To kill" was hastily replaced by "don't be killed". All he needed was the gift of flight to escape.
The telltale whoosh of a rocket launcher sank his heart long before the plane's descending, exploding, burning wreckage sank him dozens of metres under the ruins.

Autumn Blaze skimmed through the last report attached to the Imperial Census of the southern coastline before setting it aside. So far, she had read fifteen reports from Imperial administrators who had visited the coastal towns to take stock of the situation along Kiria's coastline, and each of them had been largely the same. Punctuating all the droll figures on population numbers, tax determination, and analysis of the local economy were reports of pirate attacks and raids. Autumn knew that there was a strong pirate presence in Auburn Isles, where an entire armada of pirates operated out of the port of Nacre, and she had been aware that they somewhat regularly raided the coastline for goods and bodies to press into service. But the caveat that bothered her in each of these reports was that they were apparently getting more frequent and destructive. What had once become an irregular occurrence for these towns was beginning to happen with a concerning amount of regularity. Pirate attacks were surely increasing and growing more organized, and the red sails of the pirate junks had even been spotted prowling off the coast of the Great Mellifluve river, searching for ships to prey on carrying goods out of the kirin heartlands. It was a bold move given the number of ships that ventured across those waters, and Autumn didn't like that one bit.
For now, the pirates were still only raiding small fishing villages and coastal towns, and staying clear of more populated and patrolled locales. But it couldn't be denied that the increasing occurrence of attacks and the wider range the pirates seemed to be patrolling was a bad omen for things to come. If the pirates were growing bolder, then it would only be a matter of time before they started attacking more lucrative targets. And with the realm still struggling to pull itself out of the stagnation and decay of The Silence, the last thing it needed right now was a series of pirate attacks destabilizing the coastal economy. Something would have to be done to stop the pirates before this problem spiraled out of control, or the consequences would be severe.

Piracy in the South Kirin Sea
|

This is a community maintained wiki. If you spot a mistake then you are welcome to fix it. |
[This.GetNewspaperHeader]For years, ships sailing around the eastern coast of Zebrica have skirted around the isolated coast of the Realm of Kiria, avoiding the pirate den of the Auburn Isle by taking their ships out into deeper waters. But now, pirate activity in the kirin seas has increased dramatically, and so have the attacks on foreign vessels. As the Realm of Kiria undergoes its breakneck modernisation following the ending of The Silence, the pirates of Auburn Isle have lashed out with a desperate frenzy of raids and attacks, seeming as if they seek to delay the inevitable by seizing as much loot as they possibly can. As the problem spirals out of control, it is becoming increasingly clear that the waters around the Realm of Kiria are dangerous, and any ships sailing around Eastern Zebrica should be well-prepared to fend off attacks until the situation is brought under control.

Pirates Seize Feathesian Submarine

[This.GetNewspaperHeader]The situation in the South Kirin Sea has reached a new level of danger, as it has been reported and confirmed by Feathesian and Kirin authorities that the pirates of Auburn Isle have managed to seize a Feathesian submarine off the coast of the pirate safe haven. The submarine reportedly suffered engine problems two weeks ago, forcing it to surface near Nacre. It was swiftly set upon by the pirates, and the captain of the submarine surrendered the vessel, where it was towed back to Nacre with the crew in chains. After pressuring the crew into repairing their submarine, the pirates have begun to employ it in surprise attacks on merchant ships and convoys that wander too close to Auburn Isle with terrifying effectiveness. With a modern submarine on their side, who knows just how much worse things will get before they get better?

Jade Lotus was the first from her village to spot the red sails of the pirate junks on the horizon.
She had sailed out of Teak's harbor with the rest of the fishing ships that morning, but had separated from them to check her crab pots further to the east from where they had decided to cast their nets for the day. It was just her in her little boat today; her father was ill at home, recovering from a bout of the flu, so she had had to venture out alone that morning. Now, with the red sails of the pirate junks baring down on her, she wished she at least had the protection of the rest of the fishing fleet with her. Even if she unfurled her square sail and rowed as hard as she could, she knew there was no way she'd be able to outrun the pirates. Instead, she could only brace herself for the inevitable.
As the fleet approached, one ship broke off from the others to intercept her dinghy while the rest continued on in the direction of Teak. Jade could only gulp and look up at the hulking ship soon looming over her, its rails lined with hardened kirin grinning down at her. The pirates tossed a rope ladder over the side, and one wolf-whistled down at her. "Why don't you make this easy for us, little lady?" one of the pirates shouted down to her. "Save us the effort so we can catch up with the rest of the fleet."
Frightened beyond belief, yet still harboring a spark of defiance, Jade grabbed her wooden harpoon in her magic and pointed it up at the pirates. "Leave me alone!" she shouted back. "P-Please! I-I don't have anything to give you!"
"Is that so?" Before Jade could react, two pirates jumped down onto her boat, rocking it back and forth and nearly tossing her overboard. She jabbed at one with her harpoon, but the pirate deflected it with her sword while the other one clubbed Jade on the back of her head. The mare groaned and fell to the floor, her vision swimming as the two pirates loomed over her.
"She's a pretty one, isn't she?" the stallion remarked to his companion. "I think I'll take her back to Nacre and make her my wife." Then he knelt down in front of Jade and lifted her chin with his hoof, blowing a little kiss at her when she managed to focus on his face. "Don't worry, you poor thing. I'll take good care of you back home. I'll shower you with treasures and we'll make sweet love under the moonlight. You won't want for anything ever again. How does that sound?"
Jade had no response. With a final terrified sigh, her eyes rolled back into her skull, and darkness overcame her.

Candlelight struggled to make out anything around his ship as it plowed through the heavy fog sitting on the water. The fog was so thick that the electric lantern burning at the bow of the ship was little more than a yellow halo somewhere ahead of him. The mood of the crew on the ship was tense as the engines hummed and thrummed, churning the unsettled water and pushing the ship onwards through the haze.
He turned to his navigator, who scratched at the fringes of his lower mane as he pored over the maps in the bridge. "Are we past Auburn Isle yet?" he asked, trying to trace the progress his navigator had plotted on the map. "There's rocky shoals and some coral around it that I'd rather we not crash into. Not to mention the pirates. If that storm hadn't turned us closer inland, I would have preferred giving that island a wide berth. Sycee doesn't pay us well enough to tangle with pirates."
"We have marines to protect us, and they have modern guns," the navigator retorted. "At any rate, we should be almost around Auburn, if our instruments are correct. From there it should be smooth sailing to Verdant."
Candlelight opened his mouth to reply, but the ship shook as something slammed into it from the side with a metallic clang. Shouts rang out through the fog, and Candlelight ran to the bridge windows to see kirin in salt-stained and mismatched garb jumping off of wooden vessels onto the deck from either side of his ship. Black powder weapons let out sharp reports with a flash of sparks, and as the first of the marines on deck fell in the ambush, the pirates snatched up their modern weapons and began firing on the rest. And every second, more and more jumped onto his ship...
Candlelight's face paled. He knew the battle was over before it even began. The pirates must have followed his lantern through the fog, and with the wind on their side, they had glided in without making a sound. The ship and all of its goods were theirs, and he wasn't about to die to protect the Sycee Trading House's product.
He wasted no time in formally surrendering when the pirates stormed the bridge.

Maritime Chaos in the Kirin Seas

[This.GetNewspaperHeader]Due to the uncontrolled nature of the pirates rampaging through the Kirin Seas, foreign shipping traffic has been dramatically reduced as no nations are willing to risk placing more of their sailors' lives in danger to sail around Eastern Zebrica. The Realm of Kiria has so far been unable to muster any kind of meaningful response to the raids, and no other nations with sizable navies are willing or able to commit their navies to eradicating the problem for the kirin, citing more pressing naval concerns elsewhere. In the face of the mounting economic and political toll of the pirates' uncontested control of the East Kirin Sea, the newly-reorganised Kirin government at Vermilion risks domestic instability and foreign scrutiny for their continued inaction in addressing the pirate menace, having effectively surrendered control of their coastal waters and shipping lanes to the pirates of Auburn Isle.

The Blockade of the Great Mellifluve

Pond Frog looked up from the flooded rows of the rice paddie as the hulking junks sailed into the mouth of the Great Mellifluve, using the southerly winds to force themselves about two hundred meters upstream before lowering their red sails and dropping anchor. The ships arrived in three ranks, with the first and third lines turning their bows toward the shore and arranging their broadsides up and down the river, and the second rank oriented north and south with their guns trained on the shore. There they sat and there they waited, their red hulls practically glowing like fire in the morning sun as the blockade settled in.
It did not take them long to ensnare their first victim. A merchant ship sailing down the river was forced to turn to port and drop its anchor to pivot before reaching the blockade, but before it could open its sails and catch the wind to sail upriver again, longships launched from the junks rowed out to it and swarmed the ship. Within minutes, the crew was subdued and the captured ship was sailed into the protective embrace of the pirate blockade, where it was anchored until a treasure fleet could be amassed and sailed away to safety. As the hours rolled on, ship after ship fell into the same trap, with even ships sailing up the river from the South Kirin Sea to Verdant falling victim. By the end of the day, and by the time Pond Frog finally was ready to go home, the pirates had amassed seventeen ships in their protective bubble.
The farmer simply shook his head as he packed up his tools and waded out of the flooded fields. At least the pirates had more valuable prizes to keep them entertained than rice. To the merchants and their ships, the appearance of a blockade in the Great Mellifluve had likely been a horrific surprise. But to Pond Frog, it was nothing new. Kiria had been a broken and defunct country when his father was a foal, and his father's father before him. Nothing had changed, despite all that talk coming out of the capital. The Realm was still broken, and Pond Frog didn't see it getting fixed any time soon.
