Koniran Rebellion

The was a civil war on Konira in .
== History ==
Prince Ymres came to power on Konira in , and his rule was described somewhat favorably, though he had a reputation for petulance and a notorious tendency to find insults in the smallest matters. The Koniran Rebellion appeared largely to have been triggered by disputes over his right to impose various laws, including very strict libel laws against him and his court but perhaps more saliently the right to farm tax services out to non-governmental entities, especially the Bank of Valdos. Simmering discontentment with these laws may have provided the necessary fuel for the explosion of public remonstration of Ymres's government when the Prince signed an act requiring landholders in the hill country of Konira to legally establish the history of their claims to the land they occupied; believing that these claims would be judged in Konira's anemic courts, which relied heavily on Valdosian contractors, many small freeholders were convinced that the act was a thinly veiled land-grab by a partial and corrupt Valdosian authority. A Fialta named Settram soon emerged to give voice and legal justification to discontented peasants seeking a change in leadership; Settram claimed a right to Ymres's throne, and while many intellectual leaders of the hill country rebellion insisted that their claims were limited to land issues, the rebellion swiftly took on a fully revolutionary character, with Settram embodying a broad platform of promised reforms.
Settram's claim to Konira rested on two premises: 1. Ymres was a weak ruler 2. When every child of the former prince died, Settram became the heir, and he did not give his consent for his inheritance to be transferred to the newborn Ymres.
Settram was captured in the Labor Day Weekend Special Operation, a joint operation by the Confederate Inquisition and Confederate special forces, and taken into Ymres' custody. With its leader captured, the rebellion was quickly put down. After the war, Ymres remained a weak ruler, with his actions largely dictated by his massive debts to the Bank of Valdos and his government maintained mostly by his chamberlain Astor.
