Summary
Following the success of Martin Keene's The Natural Order, and the rise of anti-Deus Ultima sentiment, the Apella playwrights created Deus Man, a play mocking the God King. The Ultima Church and Warden Oranje ordered the play banned. Despite Cambria Unchained's objections, Romeo the Rational agreed that the play must be banned which marked the first time a piece of art was censored in Apella.
This level of censorship was unheard of, and soon after various pamphlets containing the most offensive stories began to appear in Apella. They were authored by a mysterious figure who called themself the Archon, and the pamphlets became a big hit in the colony. Reluctantly, Cambria Unchained clamped down on their distribution which only incensed the flames of rebellion.
In response, Apella's most famous actor, Nathanial McCann,
and in return, the Thespians started an event known as Apella's Silence. They canceled all plays, stopped their touring performances, and altogether shut down Apella's economy through silent inaction.
