The '''Lamplighters''' are a loosely-affiliated network of individuals and organizations who seek independence for [[Ashnan]]. Since the end of the Long Ten Years in {{Year\|6968}}, the Lamplighters' influence has grown significantly, though most still operate from the shadows.

	== Location ==		== Location ==
	The Lamplighters are active almost exclusively in the [[~~Tirione\|Tirionite~~]] colony of ~~Argengrast~~.		The Lamplighters are active almost exclusively in the [[Tamkaranu]] colony of Ashnan.

	== History ==		== History ==
	~~Willful~~ mismanagement and a lack of concern for ~~the population has~~ frayed the once good relations between the ~~governing Tirionite conglomerates~~ and the ordinary people ~~of Argengrast. Unlike in [[Briathone]] or [[Nionegrast]], the companies and colonial administration long maintained policies of listening to and addressing the concerns of their workers and citizens~~. When a drought from {{Year\|6958}} to {{Year\|6968}} rendered ~~Tirionite~~ farmers completely unable to support the cities of the nation, ~~however~~, ~~Argengrast was forced into providing almost all~~ the ~~food~~ to ~~ensure~~ the metropole did not starve. ~~Tirione has~~ recovered in the years since, but the actions of the ~~colony~~ remain fresh in the minds of ~~Argenites~~.		Though Ashnan and the food its farmers produced had been greatly beneficial for Tamkaranu for almost four centuries, mismanagement and a lack of concern for local issues frayed the once good relations between the influential trade coalitions and the ordinary people. When a drought from {{Year\|6958}} to {{Year\|6968}} rendered Tamkaranu farmers completely unable to support the cities of the nation, the trade coalitions saw opportunity in Ashnan, and began to demand increased quotas from farmers in the colony in order to profit from selling their foodstuffs in the markets of the metropole. While this made the merchants of the coalitions immensely wealthy, and ensured Tamkaranu did not starve, it came at a coast in Ashnan as so much food was shipped overseas that local populations were unable to feed themselves. Tamkaranu recovered in the years since, but the actions of the trade coalitions still remain fresh in the minds of the people of Ashnan.

	During the Long Ten Years, as it is known to the ~~people~~ of ~~Argengrast~~, the agricultural output shipped from the colony to ~~Tirione~~ well outstripped what was actually capable of being provided when considering local needs. The people of the colony were left with little food of their own. Famine was mitigated only through the services of a great number of sympathetic clerics, but ~~Argengrast~~ suffered greatly nonetheless.

	As a result of the Long Ten Years, the social and political situation in ~~Argengrast~~ has deteriorated greatly~~. Various~~ dissident groups formed in the years since. Many have close ties to the clergy of a number of deities, though the largest and most influential, the Lamplighters, are officially secular. While some of these organizations prefer political solutions, others are not afraid to shy away from violence.

All have one shared goal - the dissolution of the colony and independence for Ashnan, away from the influence of Tamkaranu and the trade coalitions. This new period in Ashnan's history is commonly referred to as the Lamplighter Rebellion.

	The rebellion has been low in intensity and scale so far. [[Phoenix Crest]] has been functionally autonomous since {{Year\|6965}}, the first settlement to be loosed from colonial control, and in {{Year\|6972}} the town of [[Soluntum]] quickly fell to an alliance between the Lamplighters and the local [[centaur\|centaurs]], almost without a conflict. In most of ~~Argengrast~~, the rebellion is more of an insurgency, with underground groups sabotaging the forces of the colony. Some of the religiously-affiliated organizations keep a more public profile - temple grounds are de facto neutral territory, something the rebels use well to their advantage.

	There are many factions that are involved in the struggle for ~~Argenite~~ independence, though most have aligned themselves with the Lamplighters. The largest of the pro-independence groups, the Lamplighters are a motley alliance of ~~Argenite~~ commoners, independent merchants, religious zealots, and centaurs.

The '''Lamplighters''' are a loosely-affiliated network of individuals and organizations that seek independence for [[Argengrast]]. Since the end of the Long Ten Years in {{Year|6968}}, the Lamplighters' influence has grown significantly, though most still operate from the shadows.
