1308: The slaying of the Kaiser by unknown forces has caused civil unrest throughout the Reich. Supporters of the Kaiser Siegfried and re-unification mount vehement protests against the Electors, most of whom had expressed no confidence in the late Kaiser. Supporters of Alexander Luther and opponents of re-unification organise public celebrations. The two sides frequently clash, leading to much loss of life and destruction of property.

Governors may choose how to appeal to citizens under their charge. If they are successful, they may be able to bring the situation under control. If they fail, their settlements may revolt entirely and leave the Reich.

OOC: The chaos has been simulated by setting taxes to very high in 1308. If governors succeed in their appeals, taxes will be lowered to avoid revolt. This will take effect at the end of 1310.
