While the Milofite orthodoxy had made every attempt to erase Father Meaghar's entire philosophy they were not able to erase everything. Father Meaghar had sent copies of his writings to many of the other priests in the realm and some had agreed with his ideas. This led to the creation of the [[Army of Letters]], a communications network that kept Meagharite philosophy alive in Milofia. In the 1970s the theocracy began loosening and and modernizing to reform the feudal system in preparation for opening up to the outside world, beginning to build up what limited industry there was already. Unbeknownst to them this allowed for Meagharite philosophy to spread more widely. After a bombing upon the Palace killed the leading members of the council in 1975, the newly instated councilors began to reverse that decision, but this only led to more people joining the Meagharite cause. They were planning a revolution. |

Chief among these revolutionaries was Colonel Burnside. An officer in the new Milofian army he had a lot of influence. He would build up his power with the center of his influence being in the city of Sherman named after the captain who had originally shepherded the Milofites to Milofia. With the industry being built up in the city Sherman was beginning to eclipse the Holy City in population. Burnside would make his move in 1982 taking over the city of Sherman quickly. This initial revolt began a series of successive revolts throughout the country everywhere except the Holy City itself where the blood of Father Meaghar still stained the city center. Churches and Cathedrals were torn down and burned throughout the nation. Eventually Colonel Burnside, now calling himself the Grand Marshal of the Meagharite Cause was forced out of the city of Sherman to continue a Guerrilla fight in the countryside. It was here that one of the most horrifying policies of the Meagharites during the civil war began, the enlistment of children as soldiers. An entire generation of Meagharite children were raised to be soldiers leaving scars upon the nation that would never heal. |
