The Rebellion of the North

During a diplomatic visit from the Empire to the town of Riverbrook in the North, the first rumblings of rebellion reached the ears of the empire. A group of locals stormed the diplomatic convoy during negotiations with the local mayor about purchasing food and other supplies. The group demanded that the empire stop taxing them and leave the Northern Kingdoms without Empire influence. The leader of the group, who goes by Kaan, is the captain of the town guard, and had joined together with like-minded individuals in and around the town and its guards.

The Kaan and several high level officers of the rebellion where recognized and identified by Jost, who noted down their names and appearances in his notebook. The rebel leaders sent an assassin after him, but the empire convoy, and the notebook with it, got out of town safely.

Rumors of the rebellion have spread across the local area, with a few locals even going so far as to use those rumors in order to get their rivals into trouble with the Empire.
