The Rebellion of Anilla
"Why shall we see our people suffer? Why shall we work all day long for almost nothing? Why..." his eyes glowed with not shed tears, "Why shall our children starve to death? To protect a greedy king? To keep only him safe? Is that what you really want?" "No!" the crowd screamed in a single voice. "Then come with me!" continued Albano."We won't die for this king!"— 202 Days of Hunger
The Conflict
Prelude
The Portinevians were invading the Kingdom of Laranavia. After many cities conquered, the invaders reached Anilla, the capital, and kept it under siege for 202 days.
Deployment
The food and water supplies became short, and rationing was necessary. The citizens, with passing of time, began to receive less than one person would need daily to survive, and deaths began to happen.
Preferring to be under the hands of another king than starving with that one, the citizens, lead by Albano, fought the city guard.
Battlefield
The streets of Anilla, the citadel and the king's fort.
Conditions
In the night of the fight, the rain was very, very strong. It made it much harder for the armored soldiers to fight and decreased archers' visibility, giving some advantage for the citizens.
Outcome
The King Luzanio was deposed and handed over to the Portinevian invaders.
Aftermath
Anilla became an object of dispute between Laranavia and Portineva, and many other battles happened there. Luzimarta became the new capital of Laranavia, that formed an alliance with Unvère and minor kingdoms to evict the Portinevians.
