'''[[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.

#In the aftermath of the overthrow of [[Malarboria]], the [[State of Modan]] consolidates its still fragile hold over southern Benacia, merging the Imperial Dominion of [[Jadid Khaz Modan]] along with the Protectorate of [[Lywall]] into its territory, and establishing a new political order in conformance with N&H and [[Khanism|Khanist]] ideology.

#[[Liv Dravot|Liv Dravot-Osman]] is ousted from the Chairmanship of the [[ESB Group]] following a shareholder revolt over her handling of the [[Humanist Reaction|events]] which saw an unsuccessful attempt by the [[Imperial Government]] to confiscate the assets of the multinational corporation.
−
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. In so doing he became the Forty-Eighth [[Rulers of Elwynn|Ruler of Elwynn]].
+
−
 
 
−
Chairman Vigeland was eventually deposed in a counter-revolution led by the insane Tokaray al-Osman, who declined to revive the Coordinated State and thus left the way clear for a Kalirion restoration under Prince [[Jonathan Ayreon-Kalirion]] and his Steward [[Hallbjörn Haraldsson]], the consequences of which are still with us today.

                                                    NEW KAISER ADDRESSES THE NATION
 
−
                                            Yesterday Raynor XII gave a formal address.
 
−
 
 
−
My fellow Shirithians, Bastionians, and to Micras at Large, I send greetings-
 
−
 
 
−
The Imperial Republic stands again at a crossroads. We have crossed many roads, indeed, since our august forebearer Raynor I founded the state.
 
−
 
 
−
I have taken the regnal name “Raynor” to remind the nation and myself of the glorious-and at time tragic- history we are the heirs to, and the responsibility and opportunity that it represents.
 
−
 
 
−
On my return, I found the Landsraad voting by the barest margin to save the Imperial Republic from dissolution, of all things! That so many of our people wished to euthanize the nation- or did not care enough to stand against such a fate caused me disappointment, and intense sadness that a national death-wish had such a hold on so many.
 
−
 
 
−
I was in that moment that I resolve to dedicate myself to the resurrection of the national spirit. Little did I know that I was to be the next Kaiser. It is certain to me now that the Gods Themselves have willed this!
 
−
 
 
−
I found that the nation had been cloven, and that Kildare, the same Kildare that had nurtured and preserved the spirit of Shireroth through the time of the House crisis, had broken away -and then been conquered.
 
−
 
 
−
While I mourn the loss of Kildare, I rejoice in the revival in Elwynn, and urge Goldshire and Lichbrook to gain inspiration from them and from their respective traditons.
 
−
 
 
−
Whereas Kildare may not be restored to us in the near term at least, the Imperial Republic is not limited to such an endeavour. The Green of Micras is huge, and we have an historic and moral claim to much of it. Like Sakat, we have more than two arms, and can grow more!
 
−
 
 
−
We have launched the NETT system into orbit, and it has already slashed the cost of electric power in many parts of Shireroth. We intend to build more ground stations and bring cheap, clean power to all corners of the Imperial Republic.
 
−
 
 
−
Cheap power in Yardistan has enabled us to reopen the historic shipyards. The Kaise Mors V has been refurbished, and shall serve as my personal flagship. The land forces and air forces shall also be expanded and modernized.
 
−
 
 
−
I ask you all to submit names for our new and updated fleet that represent our culture and history.
 
−
 
 
−
A Kaiser can do much, but the true life of the nation flows from you. Opportunities abound in the Imperial States and the Imperial Dominions. Opportunities exist in Imperial service. The bank and other financial institutions still exist, and are available for the expression of your creativity. The Bureau of Cartography is open for business, and I'm sure they would appreciate your contributions.
 
−
 
 
−
To the States -The Golden Mango Throne has no designs on your creations, culture, or autonomy, and will support those with full vigour.
 
−
 
 
−
To those in the Dominions- may you grow and prosper, and join the ranks of the states. A new city is rising in the Skyla Isles which shall evidence our resilience and fortitude.
 
−
 
 
−
To Bastion and Micras at Large- Shireroth desires naught from you but peace and fellowship. And for those who may desire deeper communion, Shireoth is the home of many peoples and cultures, and can be the home of more, if you so desire.
 
  
−
And finally, to those wandering in the wilderness, those of you lost and homeless, those of you who desire to make and build, come home.

The Auspicious Occasion (24.XI.1651 – 14.XII.1651 AN) saw the expulsion of the House of Ettlingar Freyu and the Church of the Froyalanish Ancient Ways from Elwynn. The double coup in Shirekeep and Eliria, instigated by the Imperial Advisory Council, brought to an abrupt end the Froyalanish hegemony over the Imperial Republic that had begun with the abdication of Prince Jonathan Ayreon-Kalirion in 1623 and the River War of 1635.

In some quarters the Auspicious Occasion has been said to have "ultimately yielded a result so cataclysmic in scope that populations along most of the Benacian theological spectrum had found difficulty ascribing it to anything other than divine intercession"[1]. There are those who would suggest it something even rarer than divine intervention, albeit no less miraculous, that is to say a plan hastily conceived and executed that unfolded almost exactly as intended. The success of the coup, compared with Imperial operations before and after this date, can perhaps largely be ascribed to the fact that no-one outside of the ideologically committed cadres of the Vanic Temple Guard was really willing to fight, still less to die, in defence of Noah's abiding love of pomp and pageantry.
