'''[[History of Elwynn#The Communist Revolution|The Communist Revolution in Elwynn]]''', also known as the '''Red Orchid Revolution''', marked a moment of abrupt rupture in [[History of Elwynn|Elwynnese History]] when the office of Prince, which had endured since the days of Elwynnese Independence was overthrown in a palace coup orchestrated by [[Ric Lyon|Aasmund Vigeland]]. As Vigeland was already [[Steward of Elwynn]] this represents one of the more notable instances in Elwynnese history of a self-coup in which Vigeland, despite having come to power through legal means, dissolved the Senate and unlawfully assumed extraordinary powers, not granted under normal circumstances. Other measures taken included annulling the nation's constitution and suspending the rule of law.

After disposing of the nominal Prince, [[Daniel Simrani-Kalirion]], Vigeland declared his affiliation to the EWP and took on the title of  Chairman of the Presidium of the Standing Committee of the Supreme Council of the Democratic People's Republic of Elwynn.
