Slachatain

A splinter group of the recognised ruling government of the Crownless Lands founded in 1324 after the Treaty of Gidaern halted the advance of Crownless militias into Loyalist territory. Slachatain now instigates riots in the Crownless Lands and is regularly involved in bombings in Vaelorn as well as high-profile kidnappings.

The Treaty of Gidaern and the Founding
With the signing of the treaty at the end of the year in 1324, the Executive Council became split on the decision. Finally, three of the founding members: Dorian Evern, Fray Hollerd and Edalla McKan left the Council and formed Slachatain stemming from McKan's poor translation from an Old Har'wen warcry "Slachakathrein!" which originally meant "Our Day At Last!" The meaning of Slachatain as it is written in Old Har'wenun means "The Blue Day". When a proper language scholar pointed this out to McKan and her associates, she insisted that the Blue Day was in reference to when the Blue Flag of Har'wen would fly over all of Vaelorn.

The Beginnings of Slachatain
With the three Council members now head of Slachatain, they began their campaign to retake the leadership in earnest. For the first few years, Slachatain was a well-respected opposition party to the Executive Council. From 1325-1368AS, Slachatain carried between 12-23% of the overall vote. However, in 1370AS during the dictatorial rule of Executive Minister Adria Vadore, Slachatain members were arrested and detained to keep them from causing any unrest during his rule. Unfortunately, this turned Slachatain underground and into a much more militant organisation.
