       The Icbodian Rebellion was an armed uprising that occured in
       Icevale, shortly after the cities creation by then-noble Nallen
       Taggart and his cohort. The Icbods were a group of displaced
       natives, overworked laborers and disgruntled citizens, who
       saught to push for better workers rights and social welfare. The
       fighting mostly took place in the mountainous areas around the
       city, with only one major fight taking place within the
       boundaries of the city itself.
       After quashing the rebellion, the Fourth King decided to pass a
       few laws past Lord Taggart. The most notable of them was that
       unlike many of the other cities then in the Empire: Icevale
       would not be a monarchy like the remainder of the Empire, and
       would instead be a democracy. The Crown would not exert its
       force over Icevale outside of extentuating circumstances and
       threat to the remainder of the Empire. The remaining articles
       and their effects are listed below.
