The Karsten Crisis
Political event
1504
The Karsten Crisis sees the election of Emperor Karsten VI of Howyth contested by opponents including Dietmar III von Clausen and Rostag von Helvetia.
Informal skirmishes bordering on civil wars have broken out since then, with Karsten VI being unable to fully rein in his nation. The Karsten Crisis is designated as the change of an era, as it was the first among many crises which have come to categorize recent decades, a strict departure from the relative stability of the Age of Enlightenment.
