The Cholesterol Riots of 3 Semisuary

Homeland of the Northern Babkhi, the Feudal diehards, and the Libertarians of Fieldburg. A combustible mix, with devotees of the Icebear thrown into the mix. Shorn of the bailiwicks of Wintergleam by Goldshire, the North has a certain persistence of memory and a thirst for revenge.

The Cholesterol Riots of 3 Semisuary

But we of the POEE sect know that Patamunzo is the Real Imposter, and that those vibrations of his are actually an attempt to subvert Dr. Mojo's rightful apostilic authority by shaking him out of his wits.
The city of Aekophan is burning as enraged Babki reacted violently to Bosarch Nathan's inflammatory statements.

As Grand Ayatollah Sheikh Jalil Simrani was performing a wedding, a Zurvanite burst into the temple with a copy of the Bosarch's latest proclamation, supposedly recieved directly from the Butter Cow. In it, the Cow mocked the Zurvanites, declaring that "Zurvan requires ridiculous mental and spiritual gymnastics to believe in". The assembled worshippers turned pale at this statement, but when the Bosarch continued by adding that "the Butter Cow leaves hard physical proof of his existence" in the form of "cholesterol deposited...into the arteries of people", the mother of the bride fainted away.

The wedding immediately ground to a halt as the father of the bride revealed, with tears in his eyes, that their eldest son had died only a week earlier from complications of coronary artery disease. They had hoped the marriage of their youngest daughter would bring closure to the family, but this claim - that the alien deity had been directly responsible for the atheromatous plaques that had killed their firstborn, and dared to boast of it on what should have been such a joyful day, had broken his wife's fragile sanity completely. The father, a devout lawyer originally from east Araxion by the name of Hakim Ishaq, demanded that the insult be avenged.

Sheikh Simrani tried, in vain, to calm the enraged wedding guests, proclaiming that vengeance was Zurvan's alone, and that the Natopian population of Aekophan was blameless in this matter. But the wedding party would have none of it, and burst out of the temple, grabbing torches and makeshift weapons and heading toward Leo Fenrir Square, gathering more and more rioters as news of the Bosarch's insult spread.

The course of events becomes hazy from there onward, but it seems that Sahib Ishaq, born on the shoulders of several of his relatives, directly blamed the Natopians for his son's death and the disruption of his daughter's wedding. The groom, Omar Zafir, then vowed that he would not wed his beloved until every Natopian had been driven from Wintergleam. The mob, now completely lost to reason, proceeded to torch Natopian areas of the city, dowsing several houses in highly flammable butter prior to setting them alight.

The damage to property and life would no doubt have been much greater had a miracle not then occurred. From the gray and cloudy winter sky, a rain of white flowers suddenly fell on the city. Closer examination revealed them to be an unknown species of orchid; closer examination still revealed that they were not flowers at all, but models woven of fine silk. The prodigy spooked the rioters and disrupted the momentum of the event, allowing the police to arrive; the Babki, now confused, retreated with only minor prodding.

Although tensions remain high in the city, there have been no further outbreaks of violence. Hakim Ishaq is reported to be under house arrest, and Jalil Simrani, whose authority over the community is now in question, has reportedly vanished. Omar Zafir continues to build support for further violent action, and Natopian areas of the city have been placed under heavy police protection.

The Raikothin airship Iridescence was noted to have landed in the city's airport on the day of the riots and to have departed several hours afterwards. Its purpose in the area is unknown.

I love those sorts of miracles! :drunk:


A surprisingly poignant story of gang violence and racial/religiously inspired hatred. :book:
The character Andreas the Wise is on indefinite leave. But he does deserve a cool war ribbon.
