Insubordination of the Scholarioi
Motivated by the waning of central authority and urged on by their insatiable greed, many members of the local noble militias have come to control large swaths of the political scene in Target Location. While they were always happy to receive a new office, privileges, and valuable estates, many members of the Nobility have crossed the line... Should we not act decisively against them, their tendency for corruption may throw the entire country in the jaws of civil war!

56historical_info = flavor_tre.2.historical_info The Scholarioi were influential άρχοντες (nobles), and one of the most powerful families in Trebizond. They were originally formed as a royal militia unit tasked with protecting the city. They soon became corrupt and disputed the authority of the sitting Emperess Irene, in 1340. Their audacity and thirst for control led them to veto the ascension of Irene, throwing the entire country into civil war, while at the same time, Trebizond's southern border was harassed by Turkmen raids. This culminated in the raiders seizing the city, setting fire to it and introducing an epidemic, which arose from the foul stench of rotting corpses - men and horses alike.
