Revolution
Immediately following The Break almost all attention within Shudan turns towards rectifying the mana instability. In B2 magic becomes increasingly unreliable and the Hotsukai loses the ability to lead with shear power. This causes a loss of confidence and respect in the position. Conflicts become increasingly common. In the years that follow cultural respect for magic fades throughout Shudan. In B6 revolts erupt. The Hotsukai is attacked and in defending himself his unstable magic destroys a small portion of Zonyashi. Magic users are becoming pariahs in many places. In B7 internal revolts continue, and skirmishes with the yokai to the east begin erupting in earnest. By B9 there is an official eastern warfront.
