Rebellion at Stone's End

The Rebellion at Stone's End is the second major incident during the War of the Four Powers. Occurring on the 20th of Janus 602 UB, Dr Super 'Tech' Techimas instigated a rebellion by forming Neo-Trident. Tech announced his intentions at the Acacisan castle Stone's End to a crowd of multinational craftsmen. His intention was to use Neo-Trident to combat the evermore radical Trident Association.

The rebellion was short lived however, as the original meeting had been infiltrated by several members of Trident, most notably Trident General Crystine the Sly. The fighting was fierce, resulting in the death of Doris Strongheal.

Overview
Towards the end of 601 UB, the Trident Association had been growing more violent each day, prompting many to try and avoid long journeys for fear of assault. Dr Techimas began to get disillusioned with Trident, and endeavoured to put an end to Trident. Without informing his superior, General Crystine the Sly, Techimas made arrangements to gather Liken's major craftsmen in one location, the impenetrable Stone's End.

Outcome
As a result of the failed rebellion, Neo-Trident failed to disband the original Trident, which now took swift revenge. However it was the political implications that really were more serious. A blatant disregard for Acacisan peace treaties, the Republic of Acacisa's government began making plans to strike back. This would later culminate in the Battle of Carcino Bay.

Plot
After leaving Rausten, the party (now being referred to as the Heroes of Time) made they way towards Beaustrom where the Blacksmith lived. Along the way, Brooke Moon was killed in self defence by Tanaki Juppus. Leaving her body behind, the group entered the border town of Rand. They listened to the warnings of the mad man on the border before choosing to take the underground route through the geyser fields.

This led them to the town of Bergwerke where they were informed of a large craftsmen meeting at Stone's End Castle. Arriving at the castle later in the day, they gained entry by removing 2 of the 3 gargoyles plaguing the castle. Inside they met with the Blacksmith who agreed to help them when he returned to the capital of Beaustrom.

Listening to the speech by Dr Techimas, thr Blacksmith was prepared to join Neo-Trident. However the meeting had been compromised by first general Crystine the Sly, who proceeded to kill many of the people at the meeting including the Blacksmith. Dr Techimas tried to switch sides again, but was killed by Seth Qualls. Doris Strongheal was unfortunately slain during the fighting.
