1997 spice riots

A wave of civil unrest known as the "Spice riots" occurred in Auritadia and Brightland between 12 April and 8 November of 1997, in reaction to both a poor crop season and the death of spice farmer Gionata Magrassi by armed bandits, coupled with poor government reaction and the approaching of an election. The riots caused Auritadia's economy to plummet for it's full duration, and eventually led to closed-off borders and heavier police usage. During the riots, 2,541 people were killed.
