Kingdom of God: A Quest of Holy Revolution

[X] Charge Mushad Bridge [Pale Horse will be supporting this action].

We struck them, and they are reeling. It is time to strike and strike and strike until Evil lies on the floor. The spiral flows unstopped, and so it shall reach the heavens!
 
Santsarran is not dead (would Kenturah be that confident if he was?), he's been spirited out of the city. The win condition for a Temple Coup is seizing the Patriarch, Kenturah and our mystery komandir made sure that's impossible. And now that the Originator Juries have tipped their hand, you bet Burs' Steedeater must be marching on Nachivan: he can't let the Sanhedron fall. I think that's the trap that has been set: the Originator Juries are exposed as the traitors they are, and now they're stuck besieging a city while Steedeater fall on them from behind.

I wonder if there's anyone holding the Stari Fort. From what I gather, it's not an active military installation, but slum or no slum, it is still surrounded by walls.

I've said my words to embolden others, now to do my part!

I know taking the bridge and the ship is important, but the banners are gathering right in front of us, we can't let the central Navel undefended.

On rereading, perhaps not Burs:
High Ataman Burs, in Ramayan, has gone silent, and is no longer responding to requests from Nachivan for reports on his whereabouts.
He seems to be in Ramayan, which is days away by train. He could have been moving before the Coup, if he was plotting with Kenturah, but if not he'll be too far away to intervene any time soon.
But we could soon have reinforcements anyway:
It is the same for White-Gold, one of the most effective standards in Vaspukaran: Sarbadgar has struck up a friendship with its Komandir and elder Akabar Morsi, but Morsi's standard is in Makha circle, hours away by train.
Some close enough to their estates and cities have even taken holiday, with the Elder Akabar Morsi returning to Kedarkan to spend a few days in his home circle.
Kedarkan, for the record, is in Makha circle. Morsi has taken advantage of the holyday to go fetch his Standard. Makha has declared for the Originalists, so he knows that the Coup has started, and he's likely on the way. If that's so, he'll be coming from the east, in Kineveh: another reason to seize the Hanaga Bridges.

Traitors and heretics surround us on every side.
Thus, we can fight everywhere at once, and still strike at enemies of God.
Excellent!
 
What would even be the point if we did, we're the ones inside and the sword-alter outside, we'd only be destroying our own rails. They're not gonna ride the rails directly into our areas of control anyway, they'd just get shot up.

The idea would be to sabotage the rails leading to Tzinhas Barracks, making it harder for the reinforcements to link up with Sword-Altar. Obviously they can just disembark further up, but that imposes delays and prevents them from concentrating forces.

Looking at the map we'd basically want to cut off the rails near Hendar and Little Eykshir.

The Hendar Uprising has sabotaged and blocked up the railway there so Tzinhas is more or less the terminus for the standards.
 
Massima Rachel reacts by calmly shouting, hands trembling that the Sanhedron has not given them leave to enter, and yells for the elders to fortify the doors with their own seats, as this is the time to stand and fight.
Such great oration. Best line ever!


The Ecumenical Banner of the Sevensquare
A patchwork of the colors of Vaspukaran, arranged from black to white, hastily conceived and put together by weavers in Old Nach and held aloft by Teoch for his ship, the sevensquare is the promise of the new. Vaspukaran does not need only the implements of the old, to appeal to old rites and old demands, but to create a Kingdom of God on earth by reforging the covenant with the Lord above.
We are fighting against a bunch of circles so what could be a better flag than a bunch of squares.

And each man answers with a cheer and an affirmation of the vow, hand held before his chest, and Sarbadgar then declares: With the power vested in me as a Komandir, I declare you, replacing the accursed Sword-Altar Standard, the Mass Jury of Vaspukaran, each of you made Jurors here and then!

And with sudden euphoria the mouflons, and low priests, even penitents and witches, all accept their title, and as Sarbadgar rears his horse back, draws his sword, and points towards east, they rush forward, banners fluttering as they march to save the Sanhedron.

This is the flood, and now it has an army.
Just a Great Man doing great things, a mass jury sworn to defend the Home of God above the Patriarch and the Sanhedron should cause zero issues down the road.
 
Right, the reinforcements are coming from the direction of Warabad (since they were originally gathering to fight Metamoa) so if we wanted to cut them off we'd need to push into Kentelken?

Yeah but there is no appetite for an offensive of that kind - most everyone wants to defend now and break through the easier spots. The major stations are guarded by Exarch thugs and Sword-Altar units.

Gotcha. Would it be worth spending an action to try and organize and take stock of the forces and equipment we have at our disposal, since what we have right now is pretty much a giant mob?

Varhan Sarbadgar: "Men of the mass jury, now is the time to break this block to our united front and let the southern section of the city up. Vikrag has fallen because your sisters, wives and mothers have fought: now show yourselves as men as well, and break the bridge beside it!"

gotta help our boy Napoleon his way to greatness and victory.
 
The most likely thing the rebel Jurors will do is mount a major push into the Navel with as much force as they can muster. So we really need a bunch of Sect power concentrated on defense as a "base" from which other actions can be undertaken.
