September 10th, 2020, Cerapol, Arcadonisia
The month of September had always held a special significance to all Arcadonisians, Arukkai and Human alike. However, due to the 989th anniversary of the Noctun Treaty being signed on this day nearly a millennium ago, the small and close-knit city of Cerapol was bustling with festivities. With a year round population of only 105,000, Cerapol would play host to tens of thousands of civilians and tourists who would make the long journey to celebrate the famous event.
Of course, a momentous achievement such as this never went without the unwanted attention of those who opposed the Treaty, as small clumps of protestors gathered outside the boundaries of the celebrations, shouting and openly oppressing anyone who was daring enough to cross their path. All was well until several white vans pulled up, unleashing small groups of protesters who belonged to the Anti-Treaty Movement known as HOA. As they set up their camp, eye catching and derogatory banners were raised, sending the clear message of their disapproval of the event. Still, as the citizens passed them by, paying them no attention, the surrounding groups scattered, rushing to steer clear of HOA's infamous shadow.
HOA, also known as Humans of Arcadonisia was known to many as a radicalized and militant hate group that seemed bizarre to most, but their xenophobic message was clear to anyone who had the displeasure to hear their numerous rants in cities across the Nation. Finally, people began to take notice of HOA's presence and began counter-protests to oust them from the grounds of the Treaty festival, bound and determined to keep them away. Among the crowds stood many Arukkai and Humans alike, working together to rid HOA from their occasion, but the members of HOA took things further than anyone had anticipated as they charged forward and began attack the civilians, both Human and Arukkai alike, starting a blood frenzy which took the lives of over 25 civilians. When all was said and done, HOA declared their ultimate goal, effectively ending the Noctun Treaty and starting attacks against all Arukkai and any human who sided with them via microphone as citizens glared and threatened them.
Two Days Later..
News of HOA's intentions spread rapidly across the news as the citizenry were split on what was needed to be done. A vast majority sided with the Government in fighting to maintain the validity of the Treaty, while there were several groups of Humans in the southern end of the Kingdom that sided with HOA, many of which were veterans of the 1st and 2nd Arcadonisian Civil Wars. Despite this, the Government worked tirelessly to work out a peaceful solution to this crisis through a peace talk with the leaders of HOA. Only time would tell whether this strategy would work, or if they would even accept the offer at all.
