Editing Star litty (section)

=== Radiant Revolution ===
{{main|Radiant Revolution}}
In the nine months following the end of the [[Shadow-Orovika War]], star_litty led Shadow from a ''de facto'' position; her formal title within the nation, per [[Ae0n]], remained "ambassador". As Shadow became increasingly detached from Ae0n's legacy, and increasingly driven by star_litty and players whom she had recruited to the nation, this situation became more of an issue, especially as Ae0n would still need to be consulted on major national decisions, and would often be obstructionist towards changes that she believed deviated from her version of Shadow (despite not playing the server). This situation caused increasing dissatisfaction not only to star_litty and her leadership council, but to the whole player-base of Shadow, as it led to the impression that Shadow's players were not in control of their own nation, and indeed most of Shadow's players had never known a version of Shadow led by anyone other than star_litty.

Following months of peaceful attempts by several players in Shadow to convince Ae0n to hand over in-game leadership to star_litty (by setting the capital of the nation to [[Cicatrix]] over [[ThievesHaven]]), on 2 June 2024 Ae0n elected to log into the server specifically to strip star_litty (and [[Astrobolt]]) of in-game permissions as retribution. Circumstances had now become intolerable, and so, with the vast majority of Shadow's player-base behind her, star_litty enacted a mass secession from Shadow of all active settlements on 3 July, taking most accessible assets with her, and forming a new nation called [[Radiance]].

Radiance immediately received widespread diplomatic support from nearly the entire server, most especially the [[Ilios Alliance]] (with [[yodabird19]] of [[Cortesia Del Mar]] declaring that "The Republic of Cortesia Del Mar recognizes the nation of Radiance as the legitimate, direct, and sole successor to the nation of Shadow (2020-2024), and the inheritor of all of its assets, obligations, and entitlements" a mere minute after the formal announcement of the change-over). With a large section of Shadow's former wealth now inaccessible (a situation partially mollified when Horizon's End [[staff]] manually transferred several Shadow claims to Radiance on 8 July, concurrently with [[Ae0n]]'s "unfit for community" permanent ban), [[Ilios Alliance]] members quickly enacted a "Marshall Plan-like" program to support the re-development of Radiance; with this support, Radiance quickly became a more successful nation than even Shadow ever had been.
