20th Day of the 6th Month of the Gwalethian Calendar
In the glorious Commonwealth of Tyrandia, in the Keprain District; rebels have assassinated the Archmage in charge. Further declaring themselves a separate state, purging any and all supporters of the ruling council. As a result, the High Magoi Council, located in the capital of Tykare have declared a state of war to defend their people from these vile rebels. The council's official statement is that these rebels will cause nothing but harm to their country, and they must be stopped at all costs. As such, the council has ordered the deployment of all capable mages and fighters to suppress and eliminate them. Their leader, yet unknown, will be brought before the council for judgment.
In addition, the council has ordered a complete blockade of the district, forbidding any form of supplies; food, water, medicine, from entering the district until the rebellion is crushed. As of now, they have not involved any of the international community across Gwalethia, believing that this small rebellion will be easily crushed. Leading the assault against the vile rebels is Magister-Commander Kyri a'Sol, with the sole objective of crushing any form of resistance.
The above map shows the current status of Tyrandia, with the red representing territory controlled by the rebels.
Background History:
Tyrandia is a nation nearing 500 years of age. It is a nation where mages rule everything, and non-mages are considered to exist to serve the mages. It has existed in this sense since its inception, and the rebels are non-mages attempting to secede from the commonwealth. In the non-mage faction exist some mages known as "Impure", mages who have gone against the natural order and sided with the rebels. As such, these mages all have a bounty on their heads and any who turn them in dead, or alive, will receive monetary compensation. Tyrandia is led by the "High Magoi Council", a group of 32 mages whom decide things through popular vote, with two of them serving as senior members and breaking any stalemates.
Goals: To completely crush the rebels, reestablishing the status quo.
The rebels, known as the Kepraini, are separationists believing that they deserve more than they are currently receiving, and are aiming to gain their own state. They believe that the original concept of the Commonwealth was for mages to exist to protect and serve the nation as a whole, allowing for everyone to exist as equals. Their current goals are to either secede from the Commonwealth, forming a new republic as a result, or force a change in the Commonwealth in order to bring true equality. The Kepraini are led by an unknown rebel leader, known as an inspirational figure to those who are in the rebels; their identity is listed as a top priority for the Tyrandian's to discover, as the Kepraini believe they wish to assassinate them.
Goals: To gain independence and attempt to change the government of the nation.
