Coup of the Sudden Eclipse

The Coup of the Sudden Eclipse (Uwiher Ekachat [u.ˈwi.xɛɾ ɛ.ˈka.tʃat], "sudden end of eclipse") was a military coup that happened on Year 25 SFC in Naiparku, with the collaboration of Marafire, Woobia and Acúqúwara forces. It marked the end of the rule of Kunzara Argoran and the Argoran Dynasty, as well as the start of the Western Dynasty, during which a relatively oligarchic rule remains in place, but more federal power starts to be given back.

Context
In the aftermath of The Rebirthers movement, the relationship between Naiparku and other countries drastically deteriorated. After Marafire severed trading ties with Naiparku in Year 19 SFC; in Year 23 SFC, Woobia formally cut trading and economic ties with Naiparku entirely; in Year 24 SFC, Acúqúwara decided to nullify the former free traveling agreement, instead establishing a system with extremely limited work permits (valid only for three weeks) and special permits for merchants to conduct business; in Year 25 SFC, Morax also established an immigration control system with Naiparku.

Meanwhile, discontent was also growing domestically towards the Argoran Dynasty. Midawovo was a vassal estate with a relatively abundant population, who was displeased with the xenophobic ideology behind these incidents, in particular with the direct involvement of their suzerain estate Vadu. It was increasingly felt that something must be done to appease international pressure and restore Naiparku's credibility and trade opportunities. They started to find internal allies with neighboring estates such as Nedakotos, Zinurin and Ogopurin, in part because people in the city of Orohapan in general have always been sympathetic to foreigners.

In Year 21 SFC, Nėnėgansa Midawovo Vadu (Nėnėgansa kak Midawovo au Vadu), then the estate delegate of the Midawovo estate (the equivalent of "federal council member" before the Federal Council was dissolved after the Argoran Coup), ran into Meisa Feimikunika Teafife of Marafire and Súra Lilla of Acúqúwara while working on a governmental capacity in Karakankėm. At the time, Marafire was already conspiring with Acúqúwara to institute a regime change in Naiparku, as can be evidenced from afterhand interpretations of official communications between them. Through multiple nights of confiding together, they quickly realized that Nėnėgansa was the perfect man to help them achieve the goal.

Shortly afterwards, Meisa Feimikunika Teafife started to invite Nėnėgansa to travel to Marafire, over seen Overseer Súra Lilla. In an attempt to subtly signal their intent for real change, and to appease tensions within their respective countries, they have decided to purposely omit the "Vadu" from the full address of Nėnėgansa, and instead referred to him as solely Nėnėgansa Midawovo (due to Vadu being one of the estate that initiated the blockade after the Mėkosade Incident.) Some Naiparkuan people who are more familiar in Marafire politics and diplomacy, sensed the undertones of these official statements and travels, and tried to give out warnings to the Argoran-led government, but eventually fell on deaf ears.

Ambassador Nekina Tikanu Kemafu writes to Nėnėgansa Midawovo, a friend of the Rafi. A delegation lead by Takuraka Fifane will meet you in the east, two days after your next longest night.

During the longest night in Naiparku, Re from Marafire arrive in Quta-built ships under the cover of darkness, mostly propelled by Wooba aquamancy and escorted by Wooba warriors. The Wooba warriors surround Karakankėm and infiltrate the canals, forcing the Nahmon onto shore where the Re subdue and capture them, including the Argorans. The captured Nahmon were remanded to the custody of the guards of Nėnėgansa Midawovo.

It is to be noted that the main military force was still domestic guards from the estates of Midawovo, Zinurin, Ogopurin and Nedakotos, with a relatively minor participation of Kėnsamit, while Marafire and Woobian forces aided: Acuquwara involvement was limited due to their internal crisis.

Restoration of order
After the coup, Nėnėgansa Midawovo Vadu was put in power as the head of state, marking the beginning of the Western Dynasty. He promptly launched a series of measures:


 * 1) Granted amnesty to all members of former government of the Argoran Dynasty, except for XXX and YYY and ZZZ.
 * 2) Professed a public decree called "Speech to all the islands", in which he promises peace, equality and open-mindedness.
 * 3) Restored the federal representation system while conserving an extent of central control.
