Line 27:
The first weeks of Endeavor were spent under a monarchy known as the Dhingdom of Volans in which the Khingus Dhingus was the nominal King of multiple states in Volans. Due to a number of reasons the King's power was rarely wielded outside of the royal city of Endeavor. While other locations in the Dhingdom were evolving their own government systems and were progressing naturally in nearly complete independence Endeavor was paralyzed by the Khingus' inactivity and top down decision making.
As more newfriends moved to the city (primarily settling in the West Side) and an influx in settlers from 2.0's Arrakeen moved to Majas the dissatisfaction with the monarchy grew to record levels. These conditions led to the beginning of a reform movement in the city as Endeavor sought to manage its own affairs as the other peoples of the Volans did. The initial reform movement was largely supported by the Khingus as the challenged monarch wished for his people to have greater control over their own affairs. The King even went so far as to offer devolving the bulk of his power to the reformist leaders including Lord_Pericorp of the South Side, Nuusa and [[Darkflame826]] of the East Side, and JChabbs and The_Prosege of the West Side. Unfortunately pressure from IRL engagements and hard-line Loyalists prevented any major reforms from taking place.
Due to growing frustration among the reform movement and a failure to come to mutually acceptable paths forward splinter groups began developing around neighborhood councils in Endeavor. Drawing on the disparate cultural heritages of the component groups of Endeavor these local factions (known as Klikas) began advocating aggressively for changes in Endeavor. In a series of escalating circumstances the bulk of the city and its surrounding area was covered in messages and symbols advocating all types of political and societal change. As the Klikas became more radicalized they began bumping up against one another as demonstrations and propaganda distribution got more intense.
