The 1724 Normark coup d'état was an attempted mutiny by officers of the Elian Militia opposed to Humanist rule in Normark. Having set 12.IV.1724 AN as the date for their rising, the conspirators were able to rally three quarters of the personnel at Martyr Elijah Cadet College and within Regional Security Command Normark to their cause.
The mutineers were quickly able to secure the advantage of surprise by taking Elias Einhorn, Commandant-in-Chief of the Elian Militia, prisoner in his office.
In spite of the best efforts of the conspirators, the plot had been penetrated by the General Inspectorate of Keltia, and in consequence, reliable Landgendarmerie and Nordhær units had been placed at key sites and intersections in Elijah's Rest ahead of the rising.
Ignominiously, Fredrik Michael Tarjeisson, the King of Normark, was prevailed upon by his courtiers to flee the city before even the first shot had been fired. Fortunately for the loyalists, Ragnar Filip Tarjeisson, the brother of the King and Överbefälhavaren of the Nordhær, was made of sterner stuff, and placed himself immediately at the head of the forces tasked with quelling the revolt.
Initial attempts by rebel militia and cadets to march upon the site of the Nordisketing building were broken by sudden appearance of light armoured vehicles of the Regiment of Dragoons and Regiment of Hussars which drive straight into the ranks of the mutineers, raking them with machine-gun fire and forcing their hurried dispersal.
