The Revolutionary Army of Crisco, also known as the Criscos, are a popular seperatist movement in central Benacia. The movement aspires to overthrow the Imperial Regency in Shirekeep, and to reunite Shireroth as a socialist democratic confederation.
Origins
Following the Kalirion Fracture, the inner lands of Benacia reverted to chaos. The power of the Imperial Regency was siginifcantly weakened by the Morvayne rebellion and the civil war in Shirekeep that ensued. During this time, the seperatist movement in Monty Crisco started to take off, inspired by other succesful Vulture States. However, whereas other seperatists quickly managed to reach a degree of autonomy and recognition, this failed to materialised in Monty Crisco. In response to this, socialist revolutionaries formed the Revolutionary Army, convinced that it was essential to overthrow the Imperial Regency, which they perceived to be the main obstacle to independence. The movement quickly gained a foothold in the region, occupying much of Monty Crisco as well as parts of Lunaris. The area of operation of the Criscos however reached further than that. The movement planned a series of terrorist attacks in the City of Shirekeep, as well as Teldrin.

External support
Although there has been no substantiated link been found between the Criscos and other Vultures or independent countries, the rebels are rumoured to be supported by Verionists within Shireroth. Accusations of financial support from the Imperial Verionist Republic and supply of arms from the Iron Company are frequently made. The Criscos are notably avoiding any confrontation with other Vultures to the South, such as Drak-Modan and the Gutulli Protectorate.
