Kentoku Civil War

The Kentoku Civil War is a dynastic war fought by Clan Umbraline, Clan Dastana and allies of both. (Under construction)

Beginnings

The root of the conflict was the assassination of Rora Yusanora in the midst of a royal masquerade ball. While an expedition to Mata Nui was sent, and Yumiwa was coronated as Empress, tensions simmered. The incriminated assassin, Dastana Jasik, First Son of his clan, was imprisoned, to be judged by High Executioner Rayuke for his crimes. But within Clan Umbraline, extremists plotted to avenge their matriarch.

In the depth of night, a group of Umbralines infiltrated the chambers of Dastana Yomiken. Together they slew her, and attempted to escape. Three of the conspirators, however, were captured by Dastana Guardswomen. The next day, the prisoners were taken to the streets and executed in front of the crowds. Minutes after, Dastana and Umbraline sympathizers turned upon each other, causing riots to ignite upon the streets of Sado.

Tensions grew as assassins attempted to kill Jasik and his sister, Rayuke and even the young Rora herself. From then, battlelines began to be drawn, with the Crown sending in the forces of Clan Hogo to restore order to the streets, and enlisting the support of their allies in Clan Ageru. The Dastana, meanwhile, found allies in Clan Vilda and their Clan Kyoshi offshoot clan. Clan Fursic established themselves as de facto neutral.

Escalation

While riots are put down in some sections of Sado, other areas are plunged into warlike chaos. With Hogo and Imperial Guards trying to quell the violence. Neutral parties, like Taajar Kuychar merchants, flee the city to avoid the violence.
