Archive:Mad October

The Mad October (Originally in Danshali: Ayy Lmao, IPA: /sinister and bitesome/), refers to a series of political events during the Fall of 2018, that caused major regional and Sahar-wide tension. These events ranged from major regime changes to the jeopardization of international relations. With the bulk of these events taking place during October, by the end of the month, several regions on Sahar would come to be on the verge of war.

Origin

The name originated in Balakia, towards the end of the month. With the bulk of the events happening in Vaniua, the Balak came to refer to these times as "mad" or "insane". The expression spread across Miraria, as it was frequently used by news reporters.
