Line 285:
With the celebrities effectively playing the role of commissars, celebrities often urged soldiers to go forward towards unconquerable positions, or hold on to an indefensible positions. Needless to say, casualties mounted against the well-equipped Aigyptian troops, many with the experience gained form Thoth Offensive. While the central 2 regiments, one led by Lord Plutonium and Demetria, other led by Baron Uranium and Antigone, held largely intact, the army's morale sunk at subsequent needless defeats inflicted by celebrities' desires of becoming leaders of victorious armies (and thus becoming even more of a star). The central regiments also withered hard attacks, one of them including mercenaries supplied by Silver Lilies' own ranks. As the situation grew less favorable, the expeditionary forces grew weary, as did the public absolutely appalled by the strings of tactical defeats. The Council of Bridgeport's celebrities were celebrated as heroes for leading the troops even in times of defeat, minimizing their role in the crushing defeats, although those who had more reliable sources, mostly those of the intelligentsia and a new wave of politically active students, protested the incompetence of the Council of Bridgeport, although the pro-SimNationian moderates complimented Antigone and Demetria while denouncing the rest.

Main Article: [[Fanon:Dusk of Opposition|Dusk of Opposition]]
While Aigyptos and SimNation had their own problems, Kallisto suddenly looked towards the supernaturals of Moonlight Fall, now that some of the more important internal work have been completed. The Big 6 have been masters of alchemy, and their careful breeding of high quality ingredients resulted in surge of popularity within the supernatural population of Moonlight Falls. The short but most welcomed economic golden age of Moonlight Falls resulted in creation of many witch cults, most notably the [[Fanon:Silver Lilies|Silver Lilies]], who had become very influenced by the Ecclesiarchy. The supernaturals celebrated the bustling elixir trade: elixirs were always in demand by the supernaturals, and having a robust connection with a large producer livened things up.
But then came Kallisto's intent to annex Moonlight Falls. Given entrepreneurial and supernatural support for this, the popular opinion on swapping allegiance seemed very positive. This would-be peaceful annexation was unraveled by the arrival of [[Fanon:Ezekiel Gretchyn|Ezekiel Gretchyn]], who immediately warned the citizens of Moonlight Falls that Kallisto's package isn't what they expected. The fear of having WooHoo taken away swayed public opinion against annexation, and the subsequent events, including economic sanctions (and secret dealings) and outright bombardment similar to that of Bridgeport, have raised tension within Moonlight Falls. Ezekiel aligned himself with the Council of Bridgeport, as inept as it was, provided enough help (largely thanks to its Greek members) and popularity boost to keep his position secure. Nonetheless, the tides of revolution grew high, as many of witch cults tired of being secluded, unimportant part of society became more attached towards the Papacy which promised them more standing in their order according to their ability. While not all the witch cults became enthusiastic allies of the Papacy, such as the cautios and conservative [[Fanon:Lizardworts|Lizardworts]], and some even choosing the SimNationian side, such as the Sybaritic Sisterhood, the old pro-Papacy sentiments have kindled once again, and Moonlight Falls became the site of violent civil conflict.
