Elthean Revolution

Incomplete. Expanding needed.

At the turn of 50 AD, a revolution arose in Elthea. Future historians named it the Elthean Revolution. The mass arose in protest of the rising taxes of living--rent, lighting, and heating--and food. Food was highly taxed due to previous famines and a lack of knowledge on how to make plants grow better and faster without magic. Political corruption and restlessness was also rampant and cause for a revolution. The people felt as if they weren't being listened to, which was amplified with the facts and rumors of various politicians stealing food for themselves, and passing laws that exempt themselves from the struggles of the common man.

The Elthean Revolution spread to neighboring cities until the entire country of Afilo was seized under the commons. Various acts of deaths happened to various leading and political figures as this happened. 10 years after the start of the revolution, a protest of citizens, led by popular leaders of freedom that had arisen during this 10 year period had stormed into the Royal House, and murdered everyone hiding it, including humans, servants, and children. Only one was left to spare, the youngest of the Royal Blood of 10 years, named Selec Tasin. Selec Tasin was forced to pass an edict that allowed the people to vote out the entire parliament should  only 500 people call for such a vote. This edict was effective immediately, and dubbed "The People's Edict."

The result of the Elthean Revolution was an entirely new set of politicians, elected solely from popular idealists and leaders of the revolution, many of whom had no political background or knowledge. Some of their names were: Cares Ersent, Eris Haine, Alman Losa, Vatisa Piera, Bautis Verrel, and Elis Ansas.
