BTW would this background work: General Aquitaine was a normal kingdom patched together from various principalities. Overall it was Empyrean and ruled by wise kings and good nobles, who generally didn't bother much with the petty heresies and superstitions of the peasants (aside from the odd witch-hunt etc if the travelling troubadours or local wise people got too out of hand). It was in the main a major agricultural state, which meant that it was to some degrees highly specialized, some areas didn't grow much grain at all and imported it from abroad or from other parts of the Kingdom. When the Chosen portals collapsed the peasants in these areas were often reduced to famine due to a lack of grain. Likewise it was very difficult to smash rebellions and such because it was hard to move troops from region to region.

			It was now that the various Pure Ones began agitating for an uprising, no one is quite sure why, but codes and plans spread with lightning speed. At first it was hoped that the King would do something, that the Chosen would return, but as things went worse the heresy grew in power, simply due to pure desperation in many cases. Inspired by the Pure Ones the peasants declared that God wanted them to have the land and that the Chosen had been false messengers. This of course meant that they were now opposed to both the Empyrean Church and the King, which led to a series of persecutions and suppressions. Normally this wouldn't matter much, but the middle-classes were tired of the nobles lording it over them (including extracting taxes and forcing them to be part of military boondoggles), and so they too were ready to rise, especially as the economy collapsed all around them and formerly rich families were reduced to selling their silverware for bread. When the revolution began things got really messy, perhaps if the Royalist troops hadn't been spread out across the whole kingdom trying to stamp out little uprisings they would have been able to regroup and smash the revolution, but as it were they were destroyed in detail.

			Almost without intending it they found themselves with the nobles routed and the land in their hands, but with the Empyrean prelates screaming anathemas, and nobles and royals going to neighbouring countries to ask for supporting putting down the uprising. Faced with the realisation that there was no good way of backing down a new radical republican faction was able to gain power. However the Republic is wavering, whether it will survive or not depends on its ability to resist the coming storm.

			In this fantastical story of warriors, gods, and mystical spells, Ivar Messius Flavius is a man above the rest. A renowned man of battle, Ivar can possibly have anything and anyone he desires; yet his dreams are far from being fulfilled. Within this complicated, wordy world of fantasy, readers are presented with a group of warring worlds and unrequited love. While Ivar dreams of marrying Solveig Curia after saving her life, she seems determined to avoid his advances. Gudrid, Ivar’s loyal maid, is content being her master's lover and companion when he needs her, yet secretly dreams of a future with him. Her naïve thoughts toward the man abusing her loyalty are heartbreaking. When the Lady of the Tree, a trusted spirit to the people, comes to Solveig and explains to her that her suitor shall be Ivar, Solveig decides to go after him while the betrayed Gudrid seeks revenge. In a whirlwind of deceit, war, and mystical beings this story enters a world unimaginable and hard to comprehend. Although the final pages bring the novel back together, the story in between is a bit hard to swallow.

			<br>
			"Thus speak the Great King: We have been greatly distraught by the news of the overthrow of our faithful vassals in the city of Tripolis, and of the cruelty and wickedness with which the commoners have been bombed. Yet more so when we learned that no Noble Lord led this attack, there was no shoulders to bear the guilt, but rather it was done by leaderless sheep, a flock of wild bulls without a shepherd, a pack of wolves prowling in the wilds. Our hearts were then filled with great sorrow and great anger, that such wickedness could occur in the lands next to ours. At once we called for our armour and our arms, but mercy intervened, His Holiness the Patriarch clasped the King's knee and cried, 'they are but children, wicked by nature, but they know not what they do! Grant them the chance to seek your mercy and forgiveness!' And the Great King, ever forbearing, and respectful of Holy Mother Church conceeded and at once called for his Great Scribe to enter so that a missive might be sent to these leaderless ones.<br>
			<br>
			Thus the Great King speaks onto you: You have wrought great wickedness, yet because you seem unaware of the teachings of the Church, be it from ignorance or from only receiving a corrupted and heretical version of the Faith, you cannot be wholly responsible. Therefore lay down your arms, surrender yourself, both your armies in Libya and such forces as you may have elsewhere. Such things as are your personal property shall be respected, though all the property you have taken from Libya must be returned. If you refuse to obey this command you will be stripped of your belongings and made to work the granite."
