jan 1, 696 - The Great Train Disaster (696)
Description:
A small peasant uprising in a region between the Heartland and Manizim involved the theft of imperial railway sleepers and the rail itself which were used to create a legion's worth of spears and shields. While the uprising was crushed, it and the hasty repairs done to the line caused the deaths of 203 people in a tragedy now known as the Great Train Disaster.
