Archive:Mad October

The Mad October (Originally in Balak: Anâsaram Kôvaş, IPA: /ɑ'nasɑrɑm 'kovɑʃ/), refers to a series of political events during the autumn 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, in the later days 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.
