Northern Rebellion

## Causes and Pre-war Events

M1-06 21 BSB the Empire of Shale began the First Shale Invasion of the Soil Texture Continent. On M12-20 18 BSB the Empire of Shale declared their invasion over and placed a part of the compass under the control of native vassals and another part called the Eastern Regions was placed under the control of king Pied I of the Kingdom of Ryevornia as the region's Shale administrator.

On M8-28 12 BSB one of Pied I's vassals Duke Ebony Basil of Iron Lake began training and guerilla fighters and sending them off to hassle Pied I and the Empire of Shale.

## Course of War

On M12-24 12 BSB Pied I began refering to the fighters of Ebony Basil as the Northern Rebelion.

By early 7 BSB the Northern Rebellion had insurgents operating throughout every duchy in Clayistan though they had yet to capture any major government facilities due to Ebony Basil's plan. On M2-05 7 BSB all of the Shale forces on the Soil Texture Continent began to depart from the continent and return to the Shale Continent leaving only Pied I and his own soldiers in charge of the Eastern Regions. On M2-18 7 BSB Ebony Basil traveled to the city of Fjorson to meet with Duke Wayne Henderson of Frothfryke. During their meeting Ebony Basil had his insergents take the town of Osilicat to show Henderson that they had a chance to overthrow their Shale overlords and managed to recruite Henderson into the Northern Rebbelion. On M2-30 7 BSB the Duchy of Frothfryke invaded the Duchy of Vooncharia in the name of the Northern Rebellion. On M5-05 7 BSB a deal was struck between Duke Wayne Henderson of Frothfryke and Duke Gregory Benson of Vooncharia, the fighting would cease between the two and Benson would cede a plot of land to Henderson and agree to join the Northern Rebellion, the day following Benson launched an invasion of the Duchy of Pinevile in the name of the Northern Rebelion. On M5-14 7 BSB Ebony Basil met with Duke Aiden Yoder of Sabbodo, during their conversation Basil brought up the Duchy of Sabbodo's border with the Northern Rebellion supporting Duchy of Vooncharia and asked Yoder about his plans if they invaded and was informed that Yoder intended to align himself with the Northern Rebellion if that were to happen, Basil left later that day. On M5-15 7 BSB Basil's fighters took the port town of Burnia in the north of the Duchy of Sabbodo and as stated Aiden Yoder aligned his duchy with the Northern Rebellion via launching an invasion of the Duchy of Pinevile.

On M5-23 7 BSB the Duchy of North Vetchinia invaded the Duchy of Iron Lakes in an attempt to capitalise off of the chaos caused by the Northern Rebellion. Ebony Basil sent his forces to hold off the invaders, on M5-24 7 BSB Basil declared his support of the Northern Rebellion and called upon his guerilla fighters in his duchy to aid him, the day after the Northern Rebellion forces operating out of Elmhurst declared their allegiance to the Duchy of Iron Lake. On M7-10 7 BSB the Duchy of Terracotta declared their allegiance to the Northern Rebellion and invaded the Duchy of North Vetchinia.

On M2-20 5 BSB the Duchy of Pinevile was completely overrun by the Duchy of Vooncharia who promptly launched an invasion of the Duchy of North Vetchinia to support his allies in the Northern Rebellion. On M7-15 5 BSB the Emperor of Shale were captured by the Emperor's vassals, four days later the Duchy of North Vetchinia surrendered and joined the Northern Rebellion albeit with much less of its initial territory. Ebony Basil attended the conference in Osilicat which lasted from M8-12 4 BSB to M9-10 where the situation of Clayistan following the Northern Rebellion was decided. The last forces who supported Pied I were defeated in eastern Clayistan on M8-11 3 BSB, a day later the independent duchies now numbering twelve recognized each other's independence and the end of the Northern Rebellion.
