No rebelion was needed. Just the protests of most of the realm. What happend to keepint IC tuff IC?
Of course, it's an IC event. My point is that it is an IC event of international importance, and a game message should have been sent.
As of now, my character can tell by looking at the realm details, but I only looked it up because it's been mentioned in the forum. IC, characters not in Swordfell have no idea that Sevastian has been deposed.
Anyway, this is really a feature request, I'll write it up in another thread.
