Deltaria

[Rogue]

Cahtica - White flags are waving throughout the capital. Drums beating in the distance, soldiers standing on street corners. The whispers of the lady down the street still echoe through the alleyways, but for the most part the city is waiting in suspense. As the drum beats get louder, the few windows that were open close. Footsteps follow the drum beats, as hundreds waving white and blue flags enter the streets. "Our Empire, Our Freedom, Our Destiny!" the crowd yells. In front walks Dragoslav Krsmanović, former poet and exile. Krsmanović reads out from his book "and as the people resist, the regime crumbles, no force as great as the breath of a thousand oppressed." 

Krsmanović and his people have been marching for two days. Starting at the Jakanian border and making their way towards the capital. Soldiers did not dare stop them, police stood by, thousands joined him during the march. Now they come closer to the Duha (Spirit in Daralian). The symbol of imperial power, now left defenseless as the regime faces its end. But the military is not standing by out of fear or weakness. Just two days ago they dragged the Imperial Regent Trkulja out of the Duha, forcing him to write the "letter of reconcilitation". A pledge to the Deltarian people, that their will would be heard. This letter alone was enough for Krsmanović to cross the Jakanian border and start his "March on the Duha". Since then, Trkulja has been held captive at a military facility. It has since become clear that the apparant coup was orchestrated by disgruntled officers alligning with liberal politicians. These officers, angered over their lack of influence under the Slavko regime, saw their chance in his death and took power. The entire military now seems to be on board. 

The general consensus seems to be that the regent Trkulja was not to be allowed a free hand in reigning. More radical elements of the military were calling for an end to the monarchy. However, large swathes of the top-brass can still be considered monarchist, causing friction. The letter of reconciliation is seen as a compromise, a way forward. The March on the Duha for its part is seen as the solution. As soon as Krsmanović started the march, soldiers stood by. Clear orders were seemingly issued not to interfere with the march. Now, thousands of "blue and whites" have entered the capital city to preach for Krsmanović. His vision for a democratic Deltaria, freed of Thaller oppression and ready to take on the world. Dreams run wild, but the reality on the ground is complex. Different interests, countless factions and a crown prince in house arrest. Will this fire be tamed, or will the country face even more chaos?
