Scarlithian Nationalist Front

Crest of the Scarlithian Nationalist Front

Led by the beloved Scarlithian nationalist community leader Ureik, the Scarlithian National Front (SNF) is a Scarlithian nationalist guerilla terrorist group operating in the city of Fraternia and nearby mountain regions of the Republic of Rosava (RoR). Though mostly dominated by hardline Scarlithian nationalists, some elements of the SNF are more politically moderate, though just as violent. The SNF's primary goal is to fight against humans, who are considered to have stolen their homeland of Rosava. More concrete goals or objectives are unknown.

## **Inciting Incident - The Fraternian Downtown Slum Shootouts**

On October 8, 2022, a young Scarlithian nationalist opened fire on Fraternian Police operatives in downtown Fraternia and was shot dead. This event sparked outrage within the Scarlithian community, which for a long time has considered humans as enemies and oppressors. This caused many dissolutioned Scarlithians, led by the beloved local nationalist community leader Ureik, to move out of the Scarlithian slum settlement in downtown Fraternia and begin a resistance movement in a nearby mountain range, establishing the Scarlithian Nationalist Front.

As the RoR became less politically stable and the SNF proved its ability to fight against humans in guerilla warfare, many cosmopolitan Scarlithians in Fraternia began illegally discharging firearms in the direction of the RoR Parliament as a protest against the RoR government on October 9; standing against local legislation banning illegal firearm discharges as well. On October 11, another shooting towards the RoR Parliament occurred which marked the expansion of the SNF into two branches.

## **Command Structure and Forces**

The SNF is currently made up of two branches; the Nationalist Brigade (NB) and Revolutionary Brigade (RB). The two branches collaborate together but hold independent operations in order to make interrogation impossible if a member of either, no matter how high in rank, is caught.

### Purpose

Gureilla Operations throughout the Republic of Rosava

### Type

Armed Faction within the Scarlithian Nationalist Front

### Deployment Area

Rural outskirts of Fraternia, especially within mountains and caves

### Date Founded

October 8, 2022 (as SNF); October 10, 2022 (as NF upon RB's creation)

### **Nationalist Brigade**

The Nationalist Brigade (NB) is the larger of the two groups. Commanded by Ureik, their operations were mostly conducted during a guerilla campaign in the mountains in the Fraternia region from October 8-10, 2022. By October 10, the NB's operations calmed down as human communities fled the region and RoR forces were redirected to Crestmont once the Second Crestmont Crisis began.

The NB is largely made up of centrist and right wing groups heralding from the Scarlithian slums in downtown Fraternia and rural regions of the RoR. They partake in anti-human violence, believing that the world of Rosava was stolen from them by oppressive humans and that their oppressors should be eliminated. Some believe in independence from the RoR, though others side with the RB's goals of more legal autonomy.

### Purpose

Gureilla Operations throughout the Republic of Rosava

### Type

Armed Faction within the Scarlithian Nationalist Front

### Deployment Area

Fraternia, especially the downtown region

### Amount of Personnel

Unknown; rumored to be less than that of the Nationalist Brigade

### **Revolutionary Brigade**

The Revolutionary Brigade (RB) is the smaller branch of the SNF which operates directly within Fraternia, especially in its city center and near the Scarlithian slum settlement. Its existence was only discovered when a series of gunshots were fired in the early morning of October 11 and RoR agents managed to decipher rumours from the residents of the Scarlithian slum. So far, the RB is only known through this one incident, with its leader unknown and numbers rumored to be small yet rather skilled in urban domestic terrorism and political assassinations. The RB formed due to the excitement caused by the NB's guerilla campaign in the Fraternian mountains and is partially a response to anti-illegal firearm discharge laws within the city of Fraternia.

The RB, unlike the NB, has a left wing character to its ideological makeup. Its ranks are rumored to be made up of cosmopolitan Scarlithians heralding from the downtown Fraternian slum who subscribe to anti-human sentiment yet do not believe in a Scarlithian ethno-state being formed. The RB's rejection of a Scarlithian state stems from the belief that humans would consolidate themselves during peacetime, then strike and destroy the less populated Scarlithian nation after cutting trade. They see the Scarlithian situation to be more advantageous as residents within the RoR since urban guerilla campaigns against tyranny are a more feasible form of resistance against humanity than conventional war due to anatomical differences. Thus, their operations seem mostly motivated by general discontent and a desire for special legal privileges, such as the right to openly carry and discharge weapons of any caliber at any time.
