The Sedan Rebellion, also called The Goat War or the Sedanian War of Independence is an ongoing conflict between the forces of Oren and Sedan. Stemming from a land dispute between the Holy Orenian Empire & House de Joannes came the Sedan Rebellion in which House de Joannes declared independence from the Holy Orenian Empire & formed the Principality of Sedan on the 13th of Harren's Folly, the same day that the first significant battle between the two opposing factions occurred.
Skirmishes, Battles, and Sieges
- 13th of Harren's Folly, 1811 - Battle of Southbridge - Imperial Victory
- 17th of Godfrey's Triumph, 1812 - Battle of Robert's Folly - Imperial Victory
Timeline
- 1811
- 14th of Godfrey's Triumph, Joseph II, Holy Orenian Emperor issued the Proclamation of 1811 [1] to confiscate the Sedan Manor from Louis de Joannes on multiple claims of criminal offenses, most notably ORC 204.014, creation of a private unauthorized military. Following this proclamation, soldiers of the Imperial State Army were authorized to arrest members of House de Joannes on sight.
- 2nd of Tobias' Bounty, Imperial State Army Captain Viktoriya Tseczar arrested the youngest son of Louis de Joannes, Caius. After receiving word of the arrest, outraged citizens of the Sedan Manor rallied & stormed the imperial capital of Providence, demanding Caius be released. Oren did not give in to the demands & a bloodless skirmished ensued resulting in the Sedanian failing to rescue Caius, though the aftermath of the skirmish distracted the imperial guards long enough for the boy to escape on his own. After the battle, Sedan & their allies were declared traitors by Oren.
- Skirmished continued between Sedan & Oren for the rest of the month where minimal losses were dealt to either side.
- The Houses of Hartcold and Bishop swear fealty to House de Joannes & in exchange they are rewarded with baronial status within Sedan.
- Following the Battle of Southbridge on the 13th of Harren’s Folly, Sedan declared independence [2] from Oren & officially formed the Principality of Sedan.
- 1812
- On the 17th of Godfrey's Triumph, allied Sedanian forces stormed Providence in an attempt to free Baron Robert Helvets who was awaiting trial for crimes against the Empire. This spiraled into a bloody battle known as the Battle of Robert's Folly.
- Skirmishes continue for the rest of the year with Oren gaining the upper hand.
- 1813
- House de Joannes & House of Castille evacuate Sedan, burning Sedan Castle in the process.
Outcome of the Rebellion
Most of the Sedanians, following Caspian d'Arkents skirmish with the handful of them, retreated to Haense. It began originally with the Bishop family who had fled and sought sanctuary with the King Heinrik of Haense, though many men followed afterwards. This led to the conclusion of the rebellion, with most of the Sedanian allies retreating or considering they sought no other option but to burn their keep to the ground and seek refuge within Haense as well. The outcome of the rebellion resulted in many Sedanian lives lost but to no avail, as in the end they forfeited their claims in Oren and found refuge in Haense.
