Young Yorksians the radical socialist reached the Imperial Capital after touring the country side in their pan-Yorksian protest protest march. The March had about 65,000 members when reached the outskirts of Klingest. Based on the ancient Yorksian tradition of petition they expected to be met by an aid of the Emperorer to hear their demands: land reform, equal taxes, expanded voter rights...ect, but when they arrived they were me by the Life Guards and regular army units in the streets. The marchers were ordered to disperse by the army, the protestors refused, insults were traded, rocks where thrown, and shots were fired at the demonstrators. The Communist called it a massacre and the government called it police action. The crowd scattered and the streets were silent. Now Young Yorksians are openly revolting against the state. Their members have siezed many parts of the country side and are engaging the Imperial Army for control of the towns south of Klingest. This is all to the Stratorcacy gain who are conducting a large offensive against the Empire.
Thank you to history matters for the background (Civil war lore, this takes place 500 years ago)
