Years of the Vulture (Onaway)

The Years of the Vulture was a period of the rule of Tikhusue, King of Onaway, which was marked by social and political turmoil, extrajudicial and state-sponsored violence against dissidents and pro-democracy activists, and a repressive, authoritarian royal dictatorship.

This period began in 1546, launched by the lynching of then-Chancellor Hugo Dwyer and the subsequent military coup that deposed the reigning left-wing government. It concluded with the death of Tikhusue and the subsequent election of Sugmuk to the monarchy, and the following Onawean constitutional restoration after the Five-Day Coup which attempted to halt it in 1578. While scholars debate the exact period of this era in Onawean history, the generally-accepted range is between 1546 and 1577, though at its most ranges from Tikhusue's election in 1544 to the adoption of the Port Cheasaning Constitution in 1581.
