Imperator Legarus, ruling from Venceia, attempted to address the growing regional tensions through constitutional changes within Caphiria. His introduction of a new constitution aimed at delineating the national frame of government, establishing a social contract between citizens and the state, and protecting the empire's people. However, the Vermilion Act and similar separatist actions highlighted the disunity within Caphiria, as regions like Verona and Alexandria demanded greater autonomy. | Imperator Legarus, ruling from Venceia, attempted to address the growing regional tensions through constitutional changes within Caphiria.

The situation was further complicated by the [[Great Schism of 1615|Great Schism]] and internal changes within Caphiria. As the imperium grappled with internal pressures and the relocation of one of its high courts from Venceia to Serdica (now [[New Venceia]]), the Lusia region saw the emergence of separatist movements that pushed for practical and tangible changes.

In 1626, the situation reached a tipping point when revolutionaries, taking control of Saleria, a small city on the outskirts of Serdica, demanded independence. The Cartadanian Army, known as the Legio Septentrionalis, and Pelaxian forces played a crucial role in preventing the imperial legion's intervention, partly due to the imperium's losses in the [[Second Termian War]]. This development led to the creation of the [[Compactum Caridonis]], an agreement between newly-established [[Vachena]] and Cartadania, under which the two territories would remain separate for the duration of the imperial occupation of Vachena (approximately 100 years), while Cartadania would be granted independence. | In 1626, the situation reached a tipping point when revolutionaries, taking control of Saleria, a small city on the outskirts of Serdica, demanded independence.

1696 marked the beginning of what would become known as the Lusian Rebellion, where civilian groups sought to dismantle the organizations and people who placed them in precarious economic standing, but it was far from the height of the period. The government in Meridia, as a consequence of its colonial and exploratory habits in conjunction with Albalitor, had long since established outposts in southern Crona, dotted along the Songun peninsula and various island groups nearby. Many companies headquartered back in Cartadania proper had opened operations in those various outposts for exploitation of resources to be sent back to Sarpedon. Many of them employed low-income individuals from the mainland to work in various industries, but most paid very poorly and also exported goods back to mainland Cartadania at a greater cost to citizens than when exporting abroad. This further exacerbated the worsening conditions in the Lusia region until the nascent of the Ano Vermelho a year after the rebellion began. | 1696 marked the beginning of what would become known as the Lusian Rebellion, where civilian groups sought to dismantle the organizations and people who placed them in precarious economic standing, but it was far from the height of the period.

The catalyst for this upheaval was the profound discontent among the lower class regarding conditions for basic necessities in the country, leading to drastic measures such as the abduction and execution of corporate magnates. | ||

The epicenter of the conflict was south-central Alexandria, where the discontent manifested most prominently, especially around Meridia. This grassroots movement escalated into widespread violence, resulting in the murder and forced exile of over two thousand upper-class citizens from their homes and communities. The upper echelons of society, in control of the government, faced a formidable challenge as the economy and various sectors succumbed to the weight of the unrest. The period became so granular that violence became prevalent, even amongst family members of varying economic standing, leading to a lot of distrust amongst the upper middle and upper class. The Ano Vermelho represented an aggressive shift in ideals from dismantling the ability to create the problems to eliminating the perpetuators of the issue itself. | The epicenter of the conflict was south-central Alexandria, where the discontent manifested most prominently, especially around Meridia.
