Holy Marsh

The Great Theocracy of the Holy Marsh will celebrate the one year anniversary of the Eversi War this Wednesday during the sabbath. The anniversary is technically the day before, but that day is the anniversary of the Third Holy Crusade.
Some festivities are planned, but mostly the day is put aside to honor the members of the Church who lost their lives in the shortlived war against the Puppets of the Vile Lard.
The Eversi War was a conflict from December 13th, MY2989 to March 4th, MY2990. It saw the Holy Marsh fight and defeat all of her neighbors in the region and discover that they were but puppets in the Vile Lard's scheme. The war saw 12,300 Marsh casualties and 250,000 Allied casualties. A further 100,000 allies are still serving time in the Marsh Military Prison System for working with the Vile Lard. Under international pressure, these men were spared the death penalty and were instead sentenced to five year hard labor and after seving this time they will be returned to their countries.
The most important battle of the war, the battle of St. Eversi, is where the war got its name and where most political fallout came from afterwards. The allies had captured the small town during the first day and had reinforced it as the Marsh military counterattacked and had captured many lands under allied control. St. Eversi then served as the thorn in the Marsh side as they prepared to meet the landings of the Spike and Lard forces. This left St. Eversi to the Home Guard and Active Police forces. They assaulted the town in late Feb. and took most of the town through fierce fighting, a weakened enemy, and the fact that the enemy misjudged the forces they fought. However, by the conclusion of the war twenty percent of St. Eversi was still in enemy hands. The enemy looted multiple churches and destroyed the statue of the Golden Sparky. Outraged, the Home Guard and the military forces summoned to the area slaughtered all Allied forces in and around the town on March 20th, in direct violation of the ceasefire order.
Due to the desecration of the Church in the town, the military has refused to give the bodies back to the Allied nations.
So far, planned festivities include a parade and lower prices on weapons in town.
