==The Calendar Council==


The most organized group of revolutionaries in [[London]] is the '''[[Calendar Council]]''' - though even they don't get along in all aspects. Its members, named after the months of the year, are for the most part plotting and planning for their end goal, the [[Liberation of Night]]. The philosophy behind it is spreading across the [[Unterzee]] and up to the [[Surface]], and predates the Council itself.<ref>{{Citation|1=https://sunlesssea.gamepedia.com/Under_Sunless_Skies|2=Under Sunless Skies|3=Sunless Sea|4=}}''""The Liberation of Night began long ago," the veiled creature pipes.

'''The Calendar Council''' is the primary revolutionary organization in London. Its members, named after the months of the year, are for the most part plotting and planning for their end goal, the Liberation of Night. The philosophy behind it is spreading across the Unterzee and up to the Surface, and predates the Council itself. ''(An inhabitant of the room of rods and chains bears a message from its master, a blackened star. The Liberation of Night began long ago...)''


==Past Revolutionaries==
There are other revolutionary groups, like '''the New Sequence''', the rebellious faction of the [[Admiralty]] that created [[the Dawn Machine]].
*The '''[[Rosers]]''' were a group of [[bohemians|artists]] and revolutionaries who were responsible for the end of [[the Fourth City]], and took refuge in the hidden city of [[Arbor]]. 
==Revolutionaries of Some Note==
*The '''[[Copper]]''' were a group of revolutionaries from the [[Fourth City]] who worshipped the [[God-Eaters]].


==Related Factions ==
*'''February '''is for many the most frequently encountered member of the Council; one can meet her in [[the Forgotten Quarter]], where she is looking for a site of great interest to her cause. She's also involved in [[Knife-and-Candle]], as a patron in the Moon League, which is odd because she is a sworn rival of Mr Iron.
Some other groups have desires to upend the status quo of the Neath, the world, or the whole of the Is. They have some ties to the Revolutionaries, but don't share the goals of the Calendar Council or most of the street-level revolutionaries; they do not appear preoccupied with the Masters or Night at all.
*[[The New Sequence|'''The New Sequence''']] is a rebellious faction of the [[Admiralty]] that serves [[the Dawn Machine]]. They can be identified by their gold-speckled eyes.
*[[The Seven Against Nidah|'''The Seven Against Nidah''']] are a group of individuals who seek to liberate the secret of immortality from the [[The Presbyterate]].


==Other Revolutionaries ==
*Despite February's prominence in the game, she's not the leader of the Council; their master is '''December''', although nobody seems to know much about this ambiguously gendered individual.
*[[The Curt Relicker|'''The Curt Relicker''']] was a member of the Calendar Council until he fell in love with [[December]] and was kicked out.<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/Offer_your_investigative_services_(25_FATE)|Offer your investigative services (25 FATE)|Fallen London|}}</ref>
 
*'''[[The Seven Against Nidah#Bourdain, the Propagandist|Bourdain]],''' a member of the [[Seven Against Nidah]], was also formerly one of the Council.<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlesssea.gamepedia.com/The_Seven_Statues|The Seven Statues|Sunless Sea|}}</ref>
*'''March''' was also briefly part of the game and appeared to have been a lot friendlier than the ruthless February. However, that iteration of March was likely killed by [[the Haunted Doctor]], who had been hired to do it by the rest of the Council. The current iteration is a coffee-smuggler and a sworn enemy of Mr Wines.
*'''The Affluent Photographer''' is one of the Council's main correspondents.<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/Investigating_the_Affluent_Photographer|Investigating the Affluent Photographer|Fallen London|}}
*'''July''' used to be a cultured society lady and violinist, but she lost her mind to a powerful [[The Fingerkings|Fingerking]]. She trades her memories for dreams of the future.
</ref>
*'''April''' is mentioned rarely, but it is known that she's a master at building explosives, and her work has made her deaf. They say her real name is <font color="black"><span style="background-color: black">Emelia Hathersage, and she is one half of a partnership that makes the finest naval weapons in London.</span></font>.
*[[The Secular Missionary]] and [[the Revolutionary Firebrand]] are recent arrivals in London, who at least claim to be husband and wife.
*'''September''' is known only by reputation. But we know he exists.
*'''The Radical Factotum''' is tasked by the Calendar Council to collect materials for the production of light-extinguishing Unclear Bombs.<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/You_know_a_fellow_who_wants_it|You know a fellow who wants it|Fallen London|}}</ref><ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/The_Radical_Factotum_will_take_them_off_your_hands|The Radical Factotum will take them off your hands|Fallen London|}}</ref><ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/A_fair_exchange|A fair exchange|Fallen London|}}
 
</ref> He also extracts memories of [[Parabola]].<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/Trying_to_remember|Trying to remember|Fallen London|}}</ref>
*'''The Curt Relicker''' was ejected from the council after falling in love with December.
*'''The Affluent Photographer''' is one of the Council's main correspondents.
*'''The Jovial Contrarian '''knows quite a bit about various revolutionary causes despite not always being involved in them. He may be the Photographer's husband, or at least her friend.
*'''The Secular Missionary''' is a charming lady who has come to the Neath searching for her missing husband. She looks innocent, but is actually well-acquainted with anarchist causes.
*'''The Revolutionary Firebrand''' is a recent arrival in London and the exceptionally handsome husband of the Secular Missionary. He is known for being a bit of a cheapskate.

!colspan=3|[[File:liberation.png|50px]] What is the Liberation of Night?
|-
|
It's an anarchist plot to blow up the Bazaar and extinguish every light in the Neath. And it would only be a test run, because the Revolutionaries then plan to get rid of all the light in the UNIVERSE (the Liberation, presumably, being from the [[Judgements|sources]] of said light). Knowingly or not, players who give the Revolutionaries luminous items, like glowing scarabs, are contributing to the plot.


==References==
The method through which this Liberation will be achieved is not entirely known. However, numerous Unclear Bombs (which behave similarly to nuclear bombs, but instead of a blinding flash they release blinding darkness) are scattered on the Zee floor, and the anarchists spend much of their resources trying to research unclear devices.

<span style="font-weight:normal;">This may well be the future; its hypothetical aftermath is visible in the Fair King's Mirror, deep below the Zee in [[Wrack]]. ''(The Bazaar is in ruins, London is dim, and an arch commemorating the city's liberation from death has been erected; but a lone zee-captain prepares to defy it all. Is this the future, or but a bad dream?)''</span>

==Who associates with Revolutionaries?==
(Campaigners, Mystics, and Glassmen also are present in [[the Church]]. Enforcers, Murderers, and Licentiates are also in abundance among [[Criminals|criminals]].)

==What do the Revolutionaries deal in?==
Wax, beetles, magnifying glasses: if its use advances the Liberation of Night, then the Radical Factotum will take it.
