On the Kade rebellion front, soldiers were seen moving south, Ravenstad and Moselberg troops joined them in their march under Reginald V. The first target hit was the Duchy of Dragenthal where the Duke Theo van Overvechtenstein technically did not pledge to fight for the cause of the Anahera, though refused the Kade troops entry to the lands. In fact, they formally declared in support of the Typhonus struggle in Calemberg. The Typhonus had around the same time as the others, declared their support for the Mayor of Lutherstadt rebellion, armed the peasants which were under his command and joined their own troops and commanders to fight against the Vultarins in the south. Despite the fact that the Duke of Dragenthal thus was somewhat against the Anahera Protectorate, the Kades still descended on them. The Duke tried to defend his land but was completely overwhelmed, a single battle near Overvecht was enough to disable his army completely without too many casualties on either sides. The Duke was put under protective house arrest at his castle while the armies moved further south. With Dragethal under their control, only the Duchy of Bergenstein remained strictly under the Anahera control, the Duke announced his coastal batteries would fire upon any ship that tried to spread the rebellion to his isles. With the south bend closed off by Basta and the north bend closed off by the Kades, travel between Regalia and the Girobalda lands became utterly impossible.
With the religious war in Basta still raging in what quickly became known as the fourth schism of Unionism, the conflict spilled across the Sinapola strait into Sinapola itself where the Duke Alfredo Mantiovese who was still loyal to the Anahera caused had trouble controlling the religious warfare in his lands, requesting immediate Imperial assistance. In Vultaro meanwhile, the religious troubles worsened after the Lampero's public writ of sin against the Anahera. Despite the fact that the Vultar Unionists completely ignored this writ because they did not recognize his priesthood. For those who did however stick to Unionism, this was the call to action they needed to motivate themselves to riot against the Vultar encroachment in Vultaro. While the militias fought the Typhonus-Lutherstadt rebels in the north, the conservative Unionists rioted in the south, setting the entirety of Vultaro ablaze. This action also called the Duke Francesco I Biagio into action to pledge support against the Typhonus-Lutherstadt cause while the Duke of Vultaro and Alannia pledged to support one another, starting a two fronted conflict in Vultaro. In Drixagh, the chaos south and the Typhonus being pre-occupied to look north, prompted the Duke Vladislav of Zlostizcy to invade the Earldom of Trzebnica and the Duchy of Brzeg simultaneously, igniting a completely independent Northern conflict that wasn't even closely related to the troubles in the Regalian capital.
In the southern Pays du Sud, the mayors left behind in the wake of the Pileran-Anahera conflict signed a concordat together starting yet another rebellion separate from the Kade, Typhoni-Lutherstadt, Bastia and other assorted conflicts. They called their struggle "The holy plight to restore the Pileran family to prosperity", using a distant relative of the fallen Pileran family as a mascot to stage a restoration war, invading the Duchy of San Selin in an attempt to reclaim the Ithanian lands under Anahera control. The kingdom of Lusits and Nordskag formally seceded from the Regalian Empire due to the collapsing stability of the state. They did not formally announce their departure from the Regalian commonwealth, but insisted the government was no longer functional and failed to keep up the feudal contract between themselves and the Emperor. The two Kingdoms formally agreed to combat the Daendroque rebels together, taking up the Regalian cause in Ithania as they sent troops to relieve the beleaguered cities.
Not all was bad news for the Anahera Lord Protector. From the east, mass numbers of mercenaries and fortune seekers from the Silver Shores and Dorinn sailed west to the city, landing near Lutherstadt to open yet another front on the Vultar conflict. The Dorinn merchant fleet supplanted most of the collapsing Regalian infrastructure, smelling a profit to be made in attempting to seize the opportunity. They managed to alleviate the most immediate shortages of bread and dairy products Regalia was suffering, but made no real dent in the obvious rebellion problems. In the north meanwhile, the Kingdom of Torse formally supported the Kade fight, but the king was unable to send troops as Arlora just declared war on the Torse Kingdom again, still in a weakened state from the previous war with the mysterious fog beings. The Kingdom of Arlora announced it did not consider Torse a part of the Regalian Empire and it would concede reparation payments and troops in service to the Anahera Protectorate should the Anahera close a blind eye to their annexation. Finally, a small fleet of Qadir ships arrived in Regalia, offering military support to beat down the various rebellions and secure hegemony of the Anahera Protectorate. The political struggle between all sides had become so complex now that it was truly difficult to predict in which direction it would swing.
Outside of the closed Palace doors of the Imperial Palace, hordes of citizens held a candlelight vigil for days on end, camping on the Imperial plazas and squares in the hopes that the Emperor would wake up and rid them from the nightmare that was descending on the Empire. Yet the Emperor did not wake, and the Palace remained quiet. Not all was quiet in the Regalian capital however. In the western part of the city, the Anahera soldiers had set up cannons aimed at the Viridian castle and had started to barrage the castle repeatedly, hammering the thick walls and smashing cannonballs through the wooden towers. Many parts of the castle collapsed and fire broke out on numerous buildings. The Primae of the Viridian Knights called back the Shield Maidens, breaking protocol by allowing them into the castle to protect them from the falling rubble, but their situation became more desperate by the day. The sky of Regalia was filled with the sounds of cannon fire nearly all day long, only a short period at night did the cannons rest. The influx of religious militias also took its toll on the business within the markets. Many business owners shut their shops down as militias started racketeering and threatening vandalism on businesses who refused to submit to their version of Unionism. By no means was there any killing or excessive violence as the City Guard was still very operational, but there was certainly an air of tension and paranoia in the streets.
Such was not felt in Rothenhof however. somehow this small community north of Regalia had become a home of peace and tranquility in the Winter Solstice celebrations. Many citizens from the Regalian City flooded to Rothenhof to celebrate the end of the year and to forget the troubles that were slowly surrounding them.
