The Sizulate Rebellion

(part of The Sizeite Civil War)

The Sizulate Rebellion was a violent revolt of Sizulates against the Sizeite Dominion, orchestrated by Sizulate leader Brother Coulson (one of the three Keepers of Size). The Sizulate Rebellion occurred late in the Sizeite Civil War, in response to the alleged abuses of High Inquisitor Andrew Mah of the Sizeite Inquisition.

Background
Following Brother Owen's BIGot Uprising and subsequent outbreak of civil war, Brothers Cooper and Coulson were the only remaining rulers of the Sizeite Dominion. Coulson, however, was also the leader of the Sizulate Movement and was regarded by the BIGots as a traitor to Size. This view was secretly shared by many orthodox Sizeites as well, though they dared not voice it for fear of retribution at the hands of Brother Coulson. While official Sizeite policy was to tolerate the Sizulates as a legitimate religious sect, even Brother Cooper harbored suspicions regarding Sizulate loyalty. Still angry at Brother Coulson for allowing Saxe to defile Magnitudo, Brother Cooper suspected that Coulson and his Sizulates were "closet heretics." As tensions rose between orthodox Size worshipers and Sizulates, Brother Cooper instituted the Sizeite Inquisition under Andrew Mah to surpress all forms of heathenism and heresy. While the Sizulates were officially tolerated, High Inquisitor Mah ignored Brother Cooper's edicts and engaged in what the Sizulates claimed was full-scale persecution. Increasingly, Brother Coulson came to believe that Cooper and Mah intended to eliminate the Sizulates altogether through a religious purge. Conspiracy theories were widespread - one especially popular belief among Sizulates was that Supreme Magistrate Price (as Brother Cooper had re-titled himself) had signed a secret pact with the BIGots, promising to kill or imprison all the Sizulates in return for a peace treaty. Some also claimed that the "Supreme Magistrate" had become Andrew Mah's puppet, and that Mah was an agent of the Anti-Size. Finally, these tensions boiled over into violence. Brother Coulson declared independence from Sizedom, and all the Sizulate-sympathizing members of the Sizeite Priesthood, government and military defected to join him.
