History

The Dandelion Rebellion

After being liberated, Çaruza became the capital of the restored kingdom of Cocru, where the rebels installed the humble shepherd Thufi as the new king. King Thufi convened the Grand Council of War in Çaruza, and later declared himself Princeps in the city. It was also in Çaruza that the 'Princeps's Promise' was made, a declaration that became a major catalyst for the subsequent civil war.[TGOK-12][TGOK-26]
