The Loyalists-in-Exile

The Loyalists-in-Exile were an extremist terrorist group of dispossessed Halcyon monarchists/nobles who came to Sedia. They formed after the Winter revolution of Halcyon in early 252 C which made them lose everything. They were a fellowship of the rich, powerful, bitter, and angry. 
== Overview ==
After the Winter Revolution of 252 caused in the wake of the power vacuum after Volterra I's death, and the 'abdication' (secretly execution) of King Copper I, the king-for-a-day, Halcyon was thrust into a six week civil war. The communists won against the monarchists. Many monarchists and ex-nobles therefore fled to escape with their wealth and lives. Some went to Accipiter or further afield to Datria, some went down to the Horn, but a lot fled to the nearest monarchic state - Sedia. 
There were a lot of them - they had once been landowning nobles and quite rich, but they had lost everything except their lives- and their swords. An extremist movement sprang from this. Its intellectual centre was led by one of the Sedian nobles Crown Prince Nadír, as well as Nara Athalanta, Hussar-Captain Antheä Decimus, Brigadier Constable Radva and Baron Orvin. They believed that Halcyon could, nay, should be liberated again from its communist oppressors. Many of them supported the Halcyian Fascist ideal of discriminating against mages, and a lot of these Loyalists could trace their families back to the days of the Empire, which was a status symbol for them. They plotted to assassinate Tamerlane of Halcyon and his fiancée, Minister Vertika Lantsov, when the pair would come to Sedia to marry in the spring. 
However, one of Eryon Martus's spies, Zira Norok, found out about the plot, but Countess Nara then killed her. The Wildecards, new in town, followed the trail. They tortured and killed the Baron Orvin for information. Nara then led a bombing attack and assault on the St. Esmerelda Train, killing most of the crew but ultimately being bested by the bloody and exhausted Wildecards. Most of the able bodied fighters of the plot were killed in this fight, though many of the train crew were killed too.
