Chapter 278 Judging the Insurgency

The troops are slowly divided into groups: ordinary soldiers, officers, and nobility. The first question raised by the loyalist forces is how to treat this. There are three basic methods under Skyview laws. As a civil war, an attempted Coup by the Nobles, or an insurgency. 

The third is out very quickly since they find no evidence that the Anti Monarchy army had any outside forces in it. So that leaves them torn between civil war and an attempted coup. 

A civil war would typically lead to reconciliation efforts to settle the root cause of the uprising and some form of punishment for the leaders. An attempted coup would end in many executions and every rebel noble's entire extended family being stripped of all properties and assets.
