Isikiro's Purge

"Isikiro's Purge" is the colloquial term for the event that occurred in the early spring of the year 4587 of the 182nd Age, when the Renkida Regent Isikiro Anazalrok cracked down on disruptive Arakos that were part of the Vestar-Menda cult in the Capitol city of Ezirco. It resulted in all four major bases and districts that had been controlled by the Vestar-Menda in the city to be eliminated or outright destroyed, which naturally resulted in increased tension between the Renkida and the Arakos.

While this event is not played out in full detail in the books, the final efforts and ultimate success of this endeavour are recorded in The Crown of Zivia.

Origins
The people of Mencu have dealt with Arakos for centuries, mainly because the race's unorthodox behaviour is something they cannot outright ban or wage war against, rendering an extremely delicate and complicated political situation, especially considering the nature of Arakos and their politics in the first place. Rather than the entire race, it was more the actions of the Vestar-Menda, a radical organization that vies for control over other races, that became the primary issue. However, superstitious Renkida coupled with the refusal of the Arakan government to condemn the Vestar-Menda only further complicated relations.

Inspiration
The inspiration for Isikiro's Purge was twofold. Firstly, as a Vampire attempting to hide herself and her needs among Renkida civilization, Isikiro's methods of feeding had to be subtle, and she did not wish to prey upon innocents in a city that she had been given stewardship over. Secondly, with the Vestar-Menda becoming more and more zealous in their attempts to sway and convert the other Serenza around them, Isikrio felt a need to protect those that she had been placed in charge of, and as such, she carefully laid out a method to besiege the four strongholds of power the Arakos had within the city of Ezirco.

One of the few edges Isikiro had in her scheme was to attack the Vestar-Menda in such ways that they could not report it to other authorities without exposing themselves. She carefully mapped it out to be within her own jurisdiction
