Council of Rebels
The Council of Rebels was formed immediately after the War. As leader of the rebellion, Sera became Prime Minister immediately. He appointed Georgyboy as Duke of Giblot, and Sadi as Supreme Judge. In the next few days, elections were held for the remaining members of the government. The most notable achievement of the Council of Rebels was ending all wars between Giblot and neighboring regions, even including the long-lasting war of hatred against Outer Tilog. Peace with OT was not greeted kindly by most nobles, but they recognized the need to get the realm back in order after the chaos of the revolution. Within weeks, talk turned from rebuilding to conquest again, this time directed at Helsera. Some years ago Helsera was allowed to fall into the hands of the Assassins, who promised to return the region after a short time. The Assassins reneged on that agreement, and Giblot decided to take Helsera back by force.
Sadi's Demise
The first true election after the Civil war confirmed most members of the government, with one glaring exception. In the prior month, Sadi had attempted to frame Georgyboy for paying the ransom of the Assassin infiltrator Miles, and had also tampered with votes in the hotly debated issue of whether or not to ban Twisted Kitty for alleged connections to Thanatos. When these offenses were discovered, the nobles of Giblot responded by electing Shaman to replace Sadi as Supreme Judge. The day after the election, a strange, demonic fire destroyed Sadi's home, and he was never again seen in Giblot. Some claim he was taken by demons, others say he emigrated in the dark of night.
