SilentRevolution

This is really such a deep and interesting topic, I feel I do it a disservice to speak of it this way and in such limited terms, but I will try anyway. You see, the period before the VaultedWar was one of dislocation, where landers were moving more towards cities in the sway of manufactories and other businesses and seafolk towards the coasts and coves that were opening for trade. The common person of today is much more free to travel, to engage in trade and to enrich themselves with goods than the person of three hundred years ago.

Persons are also much more free to think, to learn and to discuss. Intellectual clubs and libraries are popular now. However, one person has little to no influence without a hereditary title, some singular gift of skill or an incredible amount of money. Unite a large enough group under an ideology such as a love of the Chords or freedom from a second aerial war...well. That is the SilentRevolution, in its essence.

What people will talk about is the meeting of the HighCourt several years ago, when a mass of people in red uniforms swarmed the audience chamber and put forth their demands that the Freebody Laws be expanded to all people. The plazas, pools and yards outside where all empty. The PalaceGuard had no entry. It was obviously aided by some minor nobility and some sorcery.

BaronessaAcaraDeLaRook summoned her personal guard into the area to scatter the demonstrators, but over the next few months one thing seemed to lead to another and the laws were changed.

The revolution happened in the DeepCourt as well. Sadly the waters turned red and nothing changed.

I, an old pirate, can't bring myself to say more. What happened there sickens even my black heart.

I know it seems odd, but I actually have heard that it was also the Baronessa de la Rook that prevented entry to the hall during the Silent Revolution's protest. Perhaps she had some vested interest in the Freebody Laws but couldn't support them publicly?

Still, it saddens me to think that NalaPirouette did not live to see the edict passed.
