Featured Article Defecting UDF troops and armoured vehicles outside the Krull Opera House 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.
