Tripartite Crisis

The Tripartite Crisis was a devastating period in the Western World, which saw immense conflict and human suffering engulf most of the Erinian Commonwealth and its subsidiaries.

The crisis had many components and layers, but the main issue was the three splinter states the broke off from the Commonwealth, the Vicahl Confederacy, the Commonwealth of Maretalia and the Commonwealth of Belcisia. Conflict with these states caused the complete collapse of trade, causing famines that lead to peasant revolts, army mutinies, worker riots and attempted officer coups. A rule of terror followed when Warton Krelm became Grand Protector, unleashing his secret police the CMSO onto the populace, killing thousands of dissenters and his personal enemies.

Following the the Crisis, Lorsonov appointed minister James Kryndelman and scholar Linder Pykes to organize a program that would make sweeping changes to the Commonwealth.
