After a prolonged standoff between Church and Committee forces in Red Throne, the blast of Church cannons marked the beginning of civil war in Sirdovia.
Reports indicate that Soviet and Church forces are clashing in all major western cities in Sirdovia. While the Church claims control over the situation, the Military-Revolutionary Committee claims that the People will follow their soviets. Neither side has claimed military conquest of any western city.
The largely rural east, including Sancutary and Sirvania, appears unshaken. There has been no unrest or military action. Though soviets have formed in the eastern cities, they have not allied themselves with the Military-Revolutionary Committee.
The bulk of the forces commanded by the Military-Revolutionary Committee consists of 40,000 soldiers who have defected to the revolutionary cause, with the support of 25,000 militia forces. Asagonese weapons and dinosaurs have been smuggled into revolutionary hands.
Loyalist forces are smaller in number, but include some 15,000 Braddian forces, 5,000 elite paladins and 20,000 People's Crusaders, the Church's militia force. The 24 ships of the Imperial Navy are also in support of the Church.
The clash in Red Throne began at roughly noon today, and lasted several hours. The focal point of the battle was in the large slum district, a stronghold of Committee support. The Church forces made ground quickly, surging into the densly-packed, narrow streets of the slums. The forces spread out, but soon faced great resistance in the form of street blockades and ambushes. The Church forces had to form up and move as one group. The bulk was soon surrounded by Committee forces, and forced to surrender north, out of the slums.
The Committee has called this the first of many victories. The battle was decisive, though several hundred men are suspected dead, with hundreds of others wounded.
Reports from other cities report much the same, though details are not yet at hand.
In one day, the entire nation has divided itself, and neighbour has fought neighbour in the bloodiest conflict in Sirdovia since the extermination of the Hurngat'rr tribes in the far west, almost a year ago. Let us hope that the war is ended soon, that the nation does not tear itself apart and drown in its own blood.
The Magnificent Descent decorations have still not been completed.
