The Mycelium Triumvirate, also known as the Spore Council, is a political alliance formed after the Mycelium settling of Barren Cove, comprising Lord Captain Nico Semsrott, Lord m0th, and Lord Michael Briggs. It rules the archipelago essentially as an oligarchy. The Triumvirate is an official, legally established institution within the greater Kingdom of Shroom, whose overwhelming power in the Kingdom has been given full legal sanction and whose authority outranks that of all other members.
History
Attack on Barren Cove
The Attack on Barren Cove was a surprise military strike by the Aurelian Empire upon the newly established Mycelium Triumvirate against a naval settlement on Friday, 30 June, 1799. The Kingdom of Shroom was a neutral nation at the time; the attack led to a reform of its military and foreign policy the next day, shifting its focus to armed neutrality.
Allegedly, the Aurelian Empire intended the attack as a preventive action, citing that the Mycelium Triumvirate had taken steps to establish itself as a protectorate of the Valyrian Empire, but these claims were denied by members of the Triumvirate. The naval settlement was attacked by air and sea forces from the Aurelian Empire in a single wave. The Mycelium Navy had been officially established days before the attack, and was unable to resist the Aurelian assault in any effective manner.
Important settlement installations such as power beacons, dry docks, storage and other facilities were largely unharmed by the Aurelian attack. The attack led to a fundamental change in Mycelium relations with Aurelia, leading them to be more wary of foreign powers. The lack of historical precedents for the unannounced military action, and a lack of any formal warning, led Mycelium head figures such as Lord Michael Briggs to claim that the attack was a war crime.
The day after the attack, Lord Captain Nico Semsrott opened negotiations with the Aurelian Empire, demanding reparations for the attack and a formal apology, both of which were delivered by the Aurelian Empire on the same day. This essentially revived Mycelium and Aurelian relations to pre-attack levels. The attack led to widespread criticism and condemnation from other global powers, such as the Valyrian Empire and the Escarian Republic.
