Dissident Movement in Drak-Modan

The Dissident Movement in Drak-Modan was a political movement that opposed the imposition of Draconian Supremacy upon the majority population.

Disorganized Beginnings (1690-6 AN)

From the creation of the Bovic Draconian State, pockets of discontent blossomed among Modanese ans Laqi communities. In these early beginnings, the predominant source was political and social leaders who found themselves unable or unwilling to align themselves with the new Draconian social order. Protests were as disorganized and ideologically inconsistent as society as a whole, with the strongest voices coming from conservative circles, who found themselves descending into increasingly extremist rhetoric over the state's attempts to convert traditional cultural norms and subjugate their ethnic identities below that of the Draconians.

As the first years of the Bovic Draconian State wore on, these early sources of dissent were weeded out through reconditioning, exile, and imprisonment. The 1694-5 Laqi Cross-Border Raids did much to aid these early, more reactionary dissidents into reconciling themselves through nationalist and antiforeigner rhetoric, as these incursions presented an other more threatening to traditional law and order than that of Draconian Supremacy.

Modanese Sexual Liberation (1693-8 AN)

What would become an existential threat to the Bovic Draconian State instead came from those who were initially more predisposed to support at least some of the new order's social program: cosmopolitan and queer young adults.
