Zrule's Council

High Ranking Generals Meeting Following The Council's Creation

The **Zrule's Council** was a military council that took control of a majority of the Kundralli government from 10 BF to 3 BF after a successful coup d'état against Triki Nasis, who was put into a puppet role in government.

## Details

### Context

Kundrall historically had historically held a powerful and influential military establishment that influenced the course of government, acting as the only "check" to the otherwise absolute rule of the Zrule. Following the crushing of Lauser's Revolt through military force, Triki Nasis began a decade long campaign in 19 BF to chip away at the influence of the military on his power.

### Coup

Conspiracies and rumours began to reveal itself at the forefront of court politics in 12 BF, as Nasis ordered the arrests and executions of many who may have been in opposition to him. The move was wildly ineffective and often killed his own supporters, serving to expedite a coup d'état years in the making, coming to fruition in 10 BF.

Triki Nasis' powers as Zrule were severely constrainted, although officially he maintained absolute power. Nasis would have to seek permission from the establishment in order to sign any law or make any public appearance. The establishment, however, was not entirely united on stripping away the power of the Zrule, as dissent rose among their ranks.

### Restoration & Aftermath

Through the aid of the dissenters and seven years of internal power struggles, Triki Nasis was able to engineer the arrests of top government officials and restore his despotic power. Following the restoration, Triki would not immediately continue his anti-military complex policies in the fear another coup could occur. In 1 AF, Triki Nasis would attempt to continue the persecution of political opponents associated with the Zrule's Council, which coincided with vile accusations in the public, when inturn led to his deposition by the populace and military during the January Revolution.

Founded in 20 BF by Dr. Rebecca Bower, the company has established itself as a leader in solutions for a wide range of industries, including pharmaceuticals, materials science, agriculture, and matters regarding mass-industrialization. Following the "Transition to Greater Labour Act" in Oldtown, Bower Chemical moved its facilities to one of less competition, namely Oldtown.

The company is perhaps best known for having funded the research efforts of Stefen Alexopoulos, culminating in the creation of the "Lakkosian Haste Potion", creating Bower Chemical's primary commodity.

## History

### Acquisition

In 6 AF, Bower Chemical announced that upon the recreation of Oldtown, it would be moving its industries there in an effort to face lower competition. By 7 AF, Bower Chemical opened shop and began the mass production of haste potions. By June of the same year, Bower Chemical miraculously managed to spur tensions with its workers, resulting in union analysts expecting a strike later that year.

## Criticism

Port Hounds (gang)

A group of Hounds

## Summary

The **Port Hounds** were a local gang of dockworkers in Lakkos, who ran all the organized criminals enterprises in Oldtown. They operated primarily in Oldtown during the final decades of the Consular era, becoming Oldtown's dominant criminal syndicate. As the power of criminal syndicates dwindled under the rule of Zweglony and Port Hounds became more complacent in their security, the Port Hounds would suffer from disputes with William Cochran leading to the eventual "culling of the hounds" and the rise of the Oldtown Cutters.

The gang was led over the years by Clarence Filmore. The Oldtown Cutters would be viewed as an evolution of the Port Hounds, taking and expanding the mantle of crime more than any could've predicted.
Lakkosian Empire

## Summary

The **Lakkosian Empire** is composed of the dominions, colonies, districts, protectorates, vassals, and other territories ruled or administered by the Republic of Lakkos and its predecessor states. It began with the overseas possessions acquired through the Dual Islands War in 5 AF.

The Lakkosian Empire is a historiographical term to describe Lakkos' imperialist expansion. The Empire is characterized by its conquest of broad and vast minor holdings, with the intention of creating an empire upon which the sun never sets. The government divides territories into multiple subdivisions, including districts, colonies, dominions, etc. Although most colonies are directly administered through appointed bureaucracies, democracy and home-rule is afforded to colonies elevated to dominion status over time, with the end goal being District status and representation in Parliament.

The Lakkosian Empire is characterized by its fierce attempts at cultural hegemony. Lakkosian culture and settlers historically have blended into other cultures, as with Serenusi in Little Serenus. Similar has occurred across the empire, as cultural and religious norms are spread.

Złoty (Currency)

## Overview

1 Złoty, Forged During Zwęglony's Consulship

The Złoty is the official national currency of the Federal Republic of Lakkos. Renowned for its historical significance and distinctive coinage, the Złoty plays a vital role in Lakkosian society and economy.

The Złoty has a rich history, dating back to the early days of Lakkosian civilization. It was introduced as a means of trade and exchange among the island's various communities. At this time, it was known as the *Złotik*. Upon the UCR-led colonization of the island, the currency would merge with the UCR's "*Złot*" to create the "*Złoty*" we know today, a representative example of cultural blending among the UCR's citizenry and the native Lakkosians. Over time, the Złoty evolved into a symbol of Lakkosian unity and sovereignty. The coins would manage to persevere through multiple regimes and eras.

Złoty coins are celebrated for their artistic and detailed designs. They often feature iconic Lakkosian landscapes, native wildlife, and significant historical figures. Each coin denomination is uniquely crafted, adding to the currency's charm and cultural value. Złoty coins are widely accepted throughout Lakkos, serving as the primary medium of exchange for goods and services. The currency is not valuable outside of the island Republic, including Karkaros.

Upon his election, Zwęglony immediately set about reforming the coinage of Lakkos, which was by this time severely debased and borderline useless. The new currency would have five levels, with coins made of Aluminum, Gold, Silver, a copper-silver alloy, and Copper. All metals used for the coins are solely from Lakkosian mines, with the exception of the Zwęglon, due to the extreme rarity of aluminum. The reforms were introduced in 1 AF and fully implemented by 3 AF.

## Conversion Table

* Miedź: The Miedź is the copper coin and thus the one used the least. (Equivalent to $0.29 effectively.) It is made of 99.99% pure copper.
* Środek: The Środek is the silver-copper alloy coin made of a 9%/91% split of silver to copper the coin is easily identified due to its slightly larger size in comparison to the rest of the types of coins. (Equivalent to $3.50 effectively.)
* Srebro: The Srebro is the silver coin and is commonly used for larger common transactions such as clothing. (Equivalent to $31.00 effectively.) The coin is made from 99.99% pure silver.
* Złoty: The Złoty is the aluminum coin and generally not commonly used by the layman unless buying something like a house or ship. (Equivalent to $1,000.00 effectively.) The coin is made of 99.99% pure aluminum.
* Zwęglon: The Zwęglon is the gold coin, and the most valuable coin made by the Lakkos mint, used in similar circumstances as the Złoty. The coin is unique in shape as the center of it has a circular cutout to reduce the amount of gold in the coin without making its radius smaller or deceiving the common man. Major economic measurements are made in Zwęglon such as GDP or construction costs. (Equivalent to $3,500.00 effectively.) The coin is made from 99.99% pure gold.
Lausers' Revolt

Fierce fighting in Kundrall during the revolt

**Lausers' Revolt** was an armed uprising in the Kundrall Zrulenate in 25 BF, responding to the Zrule Triki Nasis' institutions of state repression. The fighting took place in the areas around Foxindale and Kundrall in the spring and summers, dying down around fall. Historically, scholars have argued that the three thousand rebels, called *Lausites*, who protested against economic and civil rights injustices by the Kundralli Government were led by Will Lauser. It has remains in question as to how exaggerated his role in the revolt was.

The revolt demanded an expansion of civil liberties and the establishment of a constitutional monarchy, along with the deposing of Triki Nasis. The revolt was the biggest challenge to Nasis' reign until the Lausite-inspired January Revolution decades later, and was swiftly crushed by Nasis and military administrators.
Little Serenus

Triki Nasis

Triki Nasis' portrait by a Kundralli artist

**Triki Nasis** (6 January 50 BF – c. 14 February 1 AF), also known as **Nasis the Trickster**, was Zrule of Kundrall from 40 BF until he was deposed in 1 AF during the January Revolution. He was the first-born son of Zrule Domini (known as the Light Prince), leaving him the heir-apparent to the Kundralli throne. Triki would be the second Zrule of the Nasis dynasty.

During Triki's first years as Zrule, government was in the hands of a series of regency councils, often influenced by the military establishment bolstered in the years following the Laurentian Invasion. A major challenge of the reign was the Lauser's Revolt in 25 BF, and the young Zrule played a central part in the successful suppression of this crisis. Less warlike than either his father or grandfather, he sought to control the state in a cold, calculated, and underhanded manner. He often took advantage of court politics and rumour to dispose of opposition in court.

The Zrule's dependence on a small number of courtiers caused discontent among the influential, and in 10 BF, control of government was taken over by a group of military officials known as the "*Zrule's Council"*. By 3 BF, Triki had regained control, and for the next few years governed in relative harmony with his former opponents. In 1 AF, he took his revenge on the *Zrule's Council*, many of whom were executed or exiled. As a result of the percievably tyrannical actions and unpopularity among the populace, he would be deposed as a result of a coup d'etat by military officials during the January Revolution in 1 AF.

Following a show trial, Triki Nasis was executed in June of 1 AF and replaced with his 4 year old son, Greele Nasis. A dictatorship led by the regent and general Publiann would then follow, leading into the Dual Islands War and the end of the Kundrall Zrulenate. Triki Nasis' reign is regarded by historians as having been a major indirect cause for Kundrall's fate.

Mugsy Cacchione

Mugsy Cacchione in 3AF

Mugsy Cacchione is a member of the Lakkosian-Serenusi Civil Rights League and is believed to be an associate of the Serenusi Mafia working in Lakkos. After working as a teenager in the Undercity District excavation, he found himself out of work following the founding of the Lakkosian Republic. Like many Serenusi youth in these dire economic times, he has joined the LSCRL in search of better opportunities.

## Early Life

Mugsy Cacchione was born in the slums of Lakkos to a working class family. His father had been a miner his entire life, and was employed at the Undercity District worksite. This excavation was notoriously dangerous, and may miners lost their lives digging in the perpetual darkness. Mugsy's father was one such casualty as he fell 40 feet from a scaffolding and would have died had he not hit another scaffold before landing on a patch of tuff. His serious injuries, which would eventually lead to his death less than a year later, put him out of work indefinitely.

With no other recourse available to him, Mugsy took his father's place in his work detail and started the backbreaking work of digging out deepslate. Mugsy was claustrophobic and hated working in the hot, dark depths of the Undercity. He decided then and there that when he turned eighteen he would find work doing anything other than slave away in the mines.

## Unemployment and Joining the LSCRL

In 6BF, when Mugsy was 17, the Undercity District project was inexplicably shut down by the Lakkosian authorities. The now unemployed Mugsy was ecstatic that he may now be able to seek gainful employment above ground. Despite his enthusiasm, Mugsy could only get odd jobs cleaning parts of the city and picking up trash. Mugsy saw the frivolous, opulent lives of Lakkos' richest citizens and began to despise their arrogance.

Mugsy began to think he would forever be a beggar whose golden dreams would not come true, though he desperately wanted to go from rags to riches, until he realized that his fate was up to him. He decided to join the Lakkosian-Serenusi Civil Rights League in order to meet like-minded individuals and finally get a piece of the pie.
United Chunks of Rathnir (UCR)

Ancient UCR Flag

The United Chunks of Rathnir (UCR) was an ancient colony from which the Lakkosian people are directly descended from. The nation was communal in nature, living in an underground city below the seas of Yimmu-Audal. The colony had different highly organized sectors for farming, excavation, housing, etc. The ancient state was ruled by a Consul & Senate before the state was eventually invaded and destroyed by Yimmu-Audal forces.

The UCR's history was extremely influential on the modern day Lakkosian Republic. The UCR notably saw the first religious conflict in Lakkosian history, between those worshipping the Llama god and those worshipping the teachings of Doug Pit. The teachings of the Pit would come to prominence, and becoming the guiding moral beacon for the proto-Lakkosian people.

The Ancient Pit can be found at the ancient city's wreckage, a massive hole stretching from surface to core of the world. Descent is perilous, although has become a place of pilgrimage for loyal worshipers to prove their fervor and zealotry. It is said that some of the first stone to ever grace Rathnir was formed there. Such material is on display at the Lakkosian National Museum in Little Serenus.
January Revolution (Kundrall)

January Revolution, 1 AF

## Summary

The **January Revolution** is the term, first used in 2 AF, to summarize events leading to the deposition of Zrule Triki Nasis in the Kundrall Zrulenate and his replacement by his only son Greele Nasis. The revolution was fermented by multiple events in the past, such as "Lauser's Revolt" and the "Zrule's Council", each event serving to undermine the despotic and absolute authority of the Zrule.

The Revolution was intitially a peasant revolt that was expected to be crushed similar to the Lausites previously, but was later co-opted by the military establishment led under Publiann. Triki Nasis would be executed by military tribunal and Publiann would take the title of regent until Greele Nasis would come of age.

The January Revolution is remembered as a catalyst for the Publiann Piracy and subsequent Dual Islands War that followed.
High Minister (Lakkos)

## Summary

The **High Minister of Lakkos** (**HMOL**) is the second-highest authority in the executive branch of the Lakkosian federal government, after the president, and ranks first in the presidential line of succession. The High Minister is also an authority in the legislative branch, as the deliberator of Parliament. In this capacity, the High Minister is empowered to preside over Parliament deliberations at any time, but may not vote except to cast a tie-breaking vote. The High Minister is indirectly elected together with the president to a four-year term of office by the people of Lakkos during the general election. The High Minister can also be appointed by Parliament or presidency only if there is a vacancy.

The High Minister is a position of significant power and is widely seen as an integral part of a president's administration. While the exact nature of the role varies in each administration, most High Ministers serve as a key presidential advisor, governing partner, and representative of the president. The High Minister is also a statutory member of the Administrative and thus plays a significant role in executive government and national security matters.

The Magma Carta does not expressly assign the High Minister to a branch of the government, causing a dispute among Lakkosian scholars about which branch the office belongs to (the executive, the legislative, both, or neither). Nevertheless, many High Ministers have often previously served in Parliament, and are often tasked with helping to advance an administration's legislative priorities.

Louis S. Goldwater is the first and current High Minister of the Federal Republic of Lakkos. He assumed office at noon (LST) on August 25th, 5 AF.
Shrubian Economics

>  *"What? You'll have us be like the USSE! To our system, there is simply no alternative!" - Harold Shrub*
>
>

## Overview

**Shrubianomics** (/sruhbiaˈnɒmɪks/; a portmanteau of *Shrub* and *economics* attributed to GrossNews), or **Shrubianism**, were the neoliberal economic policies promoted by Lakkosian President Harold L. Shrub during the early years of the Republic.

These policies are characterized as supply-side economics, trickle-down economics, or "voodoo economics" by opponents, while Shrub and his advocates preferred to call it free-market economics.

The pillars of Shrub's economic policy included increasing defense spending, balancing the federal budget and slowing the growth of government spending, reducing the federal income tax and capital gains tax, reducing government regulation, and tightening the money supply in order to reduce inflation.
The results of Shrubianomic are and still are being debated. Supporters point to the end of stagflation, stronger GDP growth, and an entrepreneurial revolution. Critics point to the widening income gap, what they described as an atmosphere of greed, reduced economic mobility, and an ever-rising national debt.

The Great Silence

Protestors Outside Zwęglony's Manor

The Great Silence was a period of inaction on behalf of the government and social unrest in the lead-up to the elections of 5 AF.

The second consular election was meant to be another simple exercise of democracy, however it turned into a major catastrophy that rocked Lakkosian political society to it's core. Following the tumultuous and disasterous war against the aggressive Mayynophobian agents, Tortuga ended up losing their capitol at Tortuga Isle. This event shocked the world and led to much more hardline and militaristic beliefs becoming commonplace in Lakkos. Many citizens believed that Lakkos lacked the necessary precautions to prevent such a horrible war from befalling the fledgling nation.

Support for democracy was at an all time low and most all of the voters of Lakkos chose to stay home rather than perform their democratic duties at the voting booths. This resulted in a voter turnout of roughly 20%, far too few to be able to oversee a fair transfer of power. After this election imbroglio, Consul Zwęglony declared himself temporary Consul in order to restructure the Lakkos government. Unfortunately for democracy, Consul Zwęglony was attacked by an unknown assailant and was seriously wounded.

The attempted assassination had led to the Consul withdrawing from public life for a time with many uncertain of whether he even survived or not. Sensing a weakening of democratic sentiments, hardliners and militarists are taking advantage of the tenuous situation to protest and foment unrest with how Lakkosian politics are set up. This would eventually lead into the rise of Harold Shrub, and the formation of the first Lakkosian Republic.

## Riots

The Oldtown Riots began as peaceful protests and demonstrations in regards to The Great Silence. However, as tensions escalated, clashes between protesters, property developers, and law enforcement became increasingly violent. The unrest culminated in several days of intense street battles, looting, and property damage.

Doug Pitman would call for an end to the riots, a quelling influence that would eventually succeed. The riots serve as a reminder of the delicate balance between progress and heritage, highlighting the importance of government engagement in maintaining the character of a city

Rezerwat Miodu de Mortis

A Bottle of Rezerwat w/ Some Goat Cheese

*Rezerwat Miodu de Mortis*, commonly called *Miodu* or *Mortis wine*, is an exceedingly unique wine only found in bottles produced from the de Mortis vineyard by Consul Zwęglony himself. The first batch was produced in 1 AF in celebration of his election, and was produced in somewhat limited numbers later as the work of Consul took up almost all spare time.

With Lakkos' coma, new bottles were no longer able to be produced and thus the price (and prestige of serving or even having at all) of a bottle of Rezerwat Miodu de Mortis had increased exponentially, with only a couple dozen bottles known to currently exist.

With Zweglony's recovery after the Day of the Phoenix production has resumed. The new modern batches still have the same taste as the old, though are sealed with a purple wax rather than the original white to distinguish the new bottles from bottles made before Lakkos' coma. The new bottles are still work a very high amount, but due to having ongoing, if limited, production, they don't fetch the same price as old bottles.

The bottle's label reads:

> *"The wine itself is the only purple wine in the world. It has a fairly low alcohol content and a smooth, slightly sweet taste with pronounced notes of citrus and chorus fruit. Rezerwat Miodu de Mortis is best paired with goat cheese with a little bit of honey..."*

Nicknamed "the Demon", Qaderi is known for his cruelty and brutality, often referred to as a psychopath and sociopath with little to know emotion by his fellow comrades. Despite the attributes, the dread he emits serves to keep KLA members in line, and his presence strengthens the organization's cohesiveness.

Transition to Greater Labour Act

## Summary

A mural in Oldtown depicting the Transition to Greater Labour Act

**The Transition to Greater Labour Act** is a legislative initiative introduced and enacted by the national parliament of the Republic of Lakkos in 5 AF. This landmark piece of legislation serves as a catalyst for urban renewal and social transformation in Oldtown.

The Act empowers the government to employ imminent domain to dismantle the squalid slums of Oldtown. By invoking this legal mechanism, the government gains control of the land in Oldtown, allowing for its comprehensive redevelopment. Some citizens were not compensate fairly in the act of imminent domain, leading to speculation over a possible legal case made by Pietro Flu and others whom had their property revoked.

The primary objective of the *Transition to Greater Labour Ac*t is to replace the squalid conditions of Oldtown with a thriving and prosperous labour community. The act mandates the construction of modern, sustainable housing, improved infrastructure, and enhanced public amenities. Additionally, it includes provisions for job training and employment opportunities, with a focus on empowering the displaced residents to actively participate in the revitalization process.

The ambitious legislation represents a commitment to social progress and a belief in the potential for positive change. While the Transition to Greater Labour Act is not without controversy, it stands as a symbol of the government's supposed dedication to improving the living conditions and prospects of its citizens.

The move was seen as unorthodox given the conservative domination of Parliament, although many believe that Lakkos First voted in favour of the resolution for the purposes of securing the United Worker's Assembly's support for the ongoing Dual Islands War. The Act was voted upon with an overwhelming majority as a result, despite opposition from politicians like David Smith. Francis Martello would speak about the Act and the undertaking on an episode of the Millnight Show, stating:

> "Fighting the good fight isn't easy, but my work with the UWA is keeping our workers safe and enriching Lakkosian communities, such as our work on the Slums redevelopment."

Ray Almanzar

**Ray Almanzar** (born 18 BF) is a Lakkosian-Serenusi musician and alleged DiFornaio Crime Family associate. His work is characterized by nonconformity, free-form improvisation, sound experimentation, musical virtuosity and satire of Lakkosian culture.

## Biography

Born in Leviathan, Ray Almanzar was raised to a life of crime. He was in his own words, "born into a family that didn't want him". His early days consisted of stealing from local shops to feed himself and occasionally sold some of it for double the price, claiming that it was his "special family recipe". At the age of twelve, Ray picked up a guitar and began practicing like his life depended on it.

He wrote music and sold it to local bands as their own, and eventually he became a local star known for his psychedelic and sometimes quote, "strange" shows, performing at some of the biggest venues in Leviathan. He moved to Lakkos as the age of 19, continuing his musical career. However, his criminal mind was still very much present, and he supposedly became involved with the DiFornaio Crime Family and the Thieves Guild without the knowing of his fans.

He has allegedly helped the crime families of Lakkos by planning robberies and many other lucrative endeavors with his genius level IQ, all the while keeping it under the rug with his musical presence.

### **Musical Career**

Since his explosion into the music history at the age of 16, Almanzar has released a total of three albums and a larger number of singles and collaborations with other regional artists. Not only is he known for his amazing shows, but also his talent for incorporating rather odd and unknown instruments into his performances.

### **DiForniao Crime Family Involvement**

Underneath his musical prowess, Ray works with the DiForniao Crime Family, planning robberies and other large-scale crimes. He is a good friend of Les Hitaliano and most others in the family around the Lakkos area. He is also a member of the Lakkosian-Serenusi Civil Rights League, of which has aided him in acquiring gigs.

### Activism

   Almanzar is revered in his field for his activism, especially regarding anti-war causes.
Fort Victory

## Summary

**Fort Victory** is a Lakkosian fortress located in the Kundralli Isles, serving as the seat of the Colonial Governor and a naval base projecting Lakkosian power.

A fort on the site was proposed as early as 5 AF by Sebastian Hugues, then High Engineer of Lakkos. In 5 AF the land was designated for construction by the Shrub administration and 4.5 million stone bricks were deposited there in preparation for construction.

The fort was finally built between 6 AF and 7 AF. At that point, the Dual Islands war having ended, it ceased being manned as just a fort and instead became an important outpost and position of colonial governance.
The "Rocketing June" Attack

The **The "Rocketing June" Attack** was a dramatic and potentially deadly incident that took place in the city of Lakkos, Oldtown District. This audacious attack targeted the revered Consul, Zwęglony, the city's highest-ranking official, and involved a unique and unexpected weapon—a firework crossbow. The Consul, a widely respected figure, held a pivotal role in the city's governance. However, not everyone approved of his policies, and political tensions ran high.

## **The Assassination Attempt**

The assassin, identified as **Cesare Bertola**, was a disgruntled former fireworks artist. He had once been celebrated for his dazzling displays but fell into obscurity after a dispute with the city over employer regulations that led to the closure of his business. Bertola was a Potatoist adherent, a religion persecuted by the inquision, so Bertola devised a plan to assassinate the Consul, intending to use a firework crossbow as his weapon of choice.

On a warm summer evening, during a citywide tour, Zwęglony travelled through Oldtown to address crowds in the slums. Bertola, concealed within his arsenal of fireworks, he had secretly modified one to function as a crossbow bolt, complete with an explosive tip. Bertola would aim his firework crossbow, and in a moment of both audacity and trepidation, he released the modified firework bolt towards Consul Zwęglony. With lightning reflexes, the Strażnik Republikański pushed the Consul to the ground, narrowly avoiding a head on collision with the projectile. Jan Sobiesky, Court Alchemist, was attending the Consul's journey and was able to administer a possibly life saving health potion.

## Aftermath

Jan Sobiesky would release a full diagnosis of Zwęglony's condition to the public, outlining:

* Completely comatose
* 3rd degree burns over entire body
* Direct hit in left leg leading to left leg and left pelvis being completely blown off
* Shrapnel in the left lung and spine

Zwęglony's recovery was in doubt for months, before The Night of the Phoenix took place. The attack would have devastating effects on Lakkos, creating public turmoil during a period known as The Great Silence, culminating in the proclamation of a new Republic. Zwęglony would, through popular support and beloved nature, have his consular position turned into a hereditary equivalent of a constitutional monarchy. As of January 12th, 6AF, Zwęglony has made a recovery from his coma, being transformed by The Pit into a demonic form that Potatoists decry as evidence of the evil nature of The Pit, and Pitites praise as an example of The Pit's grace and power.
Clarence Filmore

Clarence Filmore, date unknown

**Clarence Filmore** (January 13, 39 BF– February 27, 2 BF) was a Lakkosian gangster and dock worker who attained notoriety as the leader of the Port Hounds, who held criminal hegemony over Oldtown for over fifteen years. His reign of the same amount of time as the first and only Hounds' crime boss ended when he was publicly murdered by William "Billy" Cochran.

Under Filmore the "Bloodhound", the Hounds racketeered and gradually accrued local enterprise in Oldtown, especially those pertaining to underground gambling. Filmore was well known for his largely shrill voice juxtaposed with his intimidating position of power, also being known for his brutality in disputes.

Alexopoulos Bombing

## Summary

The **Alexopoulos Bombing** was a terrorist attack in Oldtown in 7 AF. The attacks were determined to have been domestic, and the first in a long series of attacks by the supposed "Lakkos Bomber".

## Police Report

> At 10am, a cardboard package was delivered to the Alexopoulos household. Stefan Alexopoulos, a famed Lakkosian scientist, inventor, and industrial investor answered the door. Upon opening the package inside his house, it was discovered that there was another makeshift small wooden box inside of the package. Alexopoulos, in confusion, decided to open the box. As the box opened, it triggered a fuse that then led to about four sticks of dynamite, which then exploded, filling the room with smoke and leaving Alexopoulos majorly wounded.
> His wife arrived home shortly after in panic as the explosion could be heard down the street, and upon contacting emergency services, he was pronounced dead. In his autopsy, it was discovered that Alexopoulos right hand had been blown off, three fingers on his left hand were blown off, many major incisions were found along his chest, and his nose was gone. Paramedics declared that he must have died from blood loss shortly after the attack.

## Aftermath

The act left the LPD clueless, resulting in The Lakkosian Police Department conducting a nationwide search for the culprit, going door to door. Crime analysts were left perplexed and in pursuit of answering as to why an individual would make such a coordinated attack on a Lakkosian scientist, ostensibly doing "good" for Lakkos.
Strażnik Republikański

## Summary

The **Strażnik Republikański**, also known as **Zwęglony's guard**, are the Royal guardsmen of Zwęglony as well as the most disciplined fighting force in all of Lakkos. The Strażnik Republikański was founded in 2BF by Zwęglony in preparation for his running as consul in the election of 0AF, originally headquartered in a small barrack next to the de Mortis estate before being given significantly improved lodging once the first floor of Kupferpalast was completed.

In 0AF, once Zwęglony was elected, the Strażnik Republikański had access to state funds to better equip and train themselves. In this time the Strażnik Republikański evolved to be the supremely disciplined, well equipped, and intimidating force they are today. In 5AF with the completion of Zamek Umarłych the guard adopted it's now signature purple etherial glow, with rumors that they used the newly interred dead as a sacrifice to turn themselves into demigods (Though this is outlandish superstition). In reality the purple glow comes from an enchantment applied to their armor in order to make themselves more imposing when conducting crowd control or at worst in the event of combat against a revolt of commoners.

In June of 5AF the Rocketing June attack happened, where the Strażnik Republikański proved itself by managing to barely save Consul Zwęglony's life while getting him to safety and by killing his attacker with well aimed crossbow shots. After the attack the guard quickly moved Zwęglony to Kupferpalast for immediate care by Jan Sobiesky, court physician and wizard. On January 12th the Strażnik Republikański was present for the revival of Zwęglony on what is now known as 'The Night of Sacrifice', charged with guarding the site of the ritual at all costs.
