Lovian Civil War

The Northern Lovian riots began on the 3rd of October, after a drunken brawl on a Seven train sparked off an uprising. The rioting has been described as 'opportunistic' in the light of the chaotic political scene, and the majority of the rioters have no political motivation.

Timeline

 * On a 2200 train from Novosevensk to Kinley, a drunken man of American origin attempted to pull the communication train several times. The train driver left in frustration and when a Novosevenskian businessman attempted to restrain the lout, he was assaulted and left bleeding by the track.
 * By 0100, the news reached Novosevensk and reprisal attacks were launched against businesses owned by Lovians of American origin, allegedly organised by far-right Novosevenskian nationalist groups. Former chairman Semyon Breyev's house is destroyed.
 * By 0500, areas of Novosevensk were burning and youths in Sofasi and Kinley began to take advantage of the chaos and absence of police support to loot properties. In a comment, Seven Deputy Governor Semyon Breyev blames the 'marginalisation of the northern regions', while not condoning the riots.
 * The police were unable to respond quickly due to events unfolding in the capital, where Nathaniel Scribner attempted to lauch a coup.
 * 0730: A policeman patrolling in Sofasi was lynched by an enraged crowd. He was of Chinese origin and the attack was immediately and falsely attributed to fascist groups. Niamh McQuillan criticizes lack of police involvement and calls for a greater presence on the streers
 * 0800: Well-known citizens such as Semyon Breyev and John Amman began organising volunteer groups to fight the attacks.
 * 1100: A fire was started in the Sofasi Apartments, and begins to spread.
