+ | In 752 SG, a slave revolt erupted outside of the city, led by a mysterious elven figure named Minienal. The slaves overthrew their masters and laid siege to the city, much to the horror of the Tonovi citizens. As if on cue, an undead invasion of the Dagger region erupted from Nurval, and the undead horde, led by a Nightwalker, | ||
+ | |||
+ | In the wake of this calamity, the city had been going through a period of transformation and turmoil. Three major groups all wish to take the city in a new direction. The nobility pushes for the city to return to its status quo. The merchant class, who suffered the most destruction from the revolt, wish for the abolition of slavery, seeing it as a crutch. The common people, filled with new resolve, push for a more powerful and unified city, looking outward, to prevent any future calamity from happening again. | ||
+ | |||
+ | All of this unrest came to a head, finally, in 760 SG, when the common people revolted against the nobility, storming the assembly hall as it was in session, and eliminating almost the entire nobility in one fell swoop. A charismatic and passionate individual, named Kaspar Strauss, took leadership of the rebels and formed a new government, called the Unity. | ||

Though she has long been a very adept political maneuverer, it has been whispered that in her old age, Aesa is losing her edge.

+ | ==== Kaspar Strauss ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Current Chancellor of Tonovi. Formerly a tanner in the city proper, Strauss led a popular revolution against the nobility in 760 SG in an attack on the assembly. The previous nobility were purged, and their retainers and followers imprisoned as enemies of the state. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Not much is known about Kaspar, but he is fiery and passionate in his speech. He prefers to wear plain tanners clothing, or business attire, and frames himself as a leader among equals. His followers are incredibly loyal, almost zealous in their dedication to the Unity party. Some say his speech and prose bears a certain amount of religious possession, and he easily stirs the passions of his consituents. | ||
