Nazarene Uprising of 1748
It was the fourteenth day of the tenth month of the year seventeen hundred forty-eight and Princess Emilia Antoinette, Chancellor Charlène Jolicoeur-Schafenweide sit together with the heads of all branches of the Scuta Aemilia, in the chancellory in Stadt Taktwinkel. They are discussing the mutiny that took place over the last two days, after dark grey clouds over Aemilia sparked great fear, especially among a more extreme part of the Ludwiggian Reformed Church, which thought that the nation would be subjected to divine judgment. A preacher, Johannes Erdnuss, had called for rebellion against the state, which he saw as demonic because of its dabbling in South Cibolan Witchcraft and the demands placed on the church, especially with the Prinsessenvertaling being the only allowed translation of their Holy Scripture. On the night from the 13th to the 14th parts of the Exercitus Aemilia had revolted, they had taken their weapons and grouped in the Lanzerwald. Mutineers in the Panzerkorps Ludwigshafen even had taken Panzergefechtswagen II with them, to which the Equites Caeli responded by scrambling F-9 Ashavan II fighter jets and targetting these tanks, seven of which were found and destroyed, two of which were still missing.
Princess Emilia Antoinette rubbed her forehead, the situation had escalated so rapidly over the last few days and she was quite tired from the day before, when she was washed up on a sandbar and spoke to the Eternal Mistress, who nearly caused flooding when she wanted to see her descendant Herodias Blutwasser in person. She understood that the people were freaked out by the events, she was too, but she couldn't understand the demands of the extremists within the Ludwiggian Reformed Church, to go back to their old translation, the Stadtparlementübersetzung, which had so many problematic parts, which surely couldn't be the intention of a benevolent god, which the Nazarenes claimed they worshipped.
