Feeble Revolt

Written by Maera
The Feeble Revolt marked the end of the rein of King Branstone. Unrest had been brewing in the region for several months, mostly over the distribution of resources and the crown's supposed connections to powers that hold sway over the Spire Isles, an archipelago that lies off the southern coast.

It is unclear exactly when the first whispers of sedition began to circulate. What is known is that the revolt itself was sparked when the king was assassinated by Maxwell Nexose out near Traitor's Rock, presumably on his way to visit the Isles. The news was supposed to be the signal to the groups of revolutionaries spread across Draxxell to begin their attack. However, a combination of bad weather causing the news to be delayed and the apparent disbanding of several of these groups within the first few days of the revolt lost the cause momentum that it was never able to recover. Within a few weeks, the revolt was quelled and those involved had either gone back to their regular lives, been arrested, or disappeared entirely.
