For around 20 years after the annexation of their land, the Merri enjoyed relative autonomy and equal rights with the Frish Utlians. Tensions rose after a Merriyem man burned down an Azztan church, causing the king to ban Merri from living in the cities and capitals of Frish land, this was swiftly followed by a ban that disallowed Merri citizens to own knives or fire-causing implements. This was then followed by a Kingdom-wide shutdown of all Merriyem religious buildings and institutions. |
