The Fall of Idrion

Revolution

The aristocratic bourgeois families of Idrion rebel when its Dictator resists their attempt to force him to sign a bill similar to the Reforms of 309 with them in the place of the nobility. Rather than see his own country thrust into civil war, Prince Allastair kills his own father and has his generals executed. The move backfires and as the army beseiges his castle, Allistair reaches out to Verdon for aid, promising Idrion's fealty to the Empire in exchange for their support. Verdon responds immediately and breaks the siege, defeating Idrion's army and securing Idrion as a vassal state.
