Hrithik's rebellion is a rebellion against the Shahanshah of Çakaristan. Initially against Jaaguzan, later against his son and successor, Xunpadshahan. Hrithik Çakar claims his father's rightful successor in place of Jaaguzan.

Background

After Akbar's assassination, the crown was transferred to Jaaguzan. This to the displeasure of a minority, who insisted on succession by customary law. And thus that Hrithik should succeed his father. A group armed itself and rebelled to pursue this. Because of the entanglement in the armed forces, there was intelligence about Hrithik's military training. This led to the downing of the fighter jet flown by Hrithik. Hrithik was made convinced of his case and joined the rebellion. For a long time, it was unknown whether Hrithik had survived the downing of his jet. It was only in 1720 AN that it became unofficially known that Hrithik was alive and later that he was in open rebellion against the Shahanshah.

The main advisor and army chief to Hrithik is Bayram Qoyunlu. He previously served as Muqaddam in the Çakari Navy, but defected to the rebellion after the Leng Incident. He is now serving as Müşir Yeŋiçeri.

Course

Start

There are strong suspicions that Hrithik was behind the missile firing near Cenfae Mahal. Worryingly, the palace defences did not respond to the shelling, as someone from the security guard had disabled security. Hrithik is suspected for ordering various events in 1727:

• The assassination of Adarsh Farrah, Ataliq (regent);
• The firing of the Shahanshah's plane, Air Çakar One, over the Monalan Parvat (Monlan Mountains); and
• The rocket firing of the Red Fortress.

It is also thought that Hrithik was the patron for the assassination of Jaaguzan. But that seems unlikely. Herkül Armut's investigation shows no involvement.

Zahra's fury

Immediately after the firing, Zahra launched an attack. This attack was so fierce that newspapers spoke of "Zahra's fury" and Hrithik and his entourage had to flee back into the mountains.
