The following description is used if the ruler has the “Sheikh-ul-Islam” modifier or has a loyal Sheikh-ul-Islam:[4]
- Great commotion was abound in [Root.Capital.GetCapitalName] today as the Janissaries, long discontent with what they see as the misrule of the empire by the [Root.Monarch.GetTitle], rejected the bread given by [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] and overturned their cauldrons in the central square. The Janissaries claim that [Root.Monarch.GetName] is a disgrace to the House of Osman, that [Root.Monarch.GetSheHe] has made the Sheikh-ul-Islam his personal puppet and that he aims to destroy the military strength of the empire.
The Janissaries have now moved quickly to seize control over the government and have secured the support of many of the other political groups of the capital. While [Root.Monarch.GetSheHe] is still alive [Root.Monarch.GetName] is no longer in control of [Root.Monarch.GetHerHis] empire.

Death of a [Root.Monarch.GetTitle]

Please help with verifying or updating this infobox. It was last verified for version 1.31. |
[Root.Monarch.GetName]’s attempts to satisfy the Janissary coup-makers in [Root.Capital.GetCapitalName] has led to no avail, and now opposition to [Root.Monarch.GetHerHis] rule has grown so great that they see [Root.Monarch.GetHerHis] deposal as the only remaining solution. Having secured the support of other interest groups in the capital a large group of Janissaries today stormed the palace and captured the [Root.Monarch.GetTitle].
They paraded the sovereign through the streets of the capital and, waving a legitimizing fatwa from the Sheikh-ul-Islam, strangled [Root.Monarch.GetName] to death. [Root.Monarch.GetHerHis] successor, still in shock from the day's events, has been brought out from the harem to be enthroned. It is apparent to all that the new ruler is little more than a puppet, and that order is far from being restored.

With the power of government comes great influence over how offices are assigned. The Janissaries have increasingly begun to place their preferred candidates in offices of government. Nominations that [Root.Monarch.GetName] will have a hard time rejecting without angering the coup makers.
Janissary Pay-Increase
![]() |
Please help with verifying or updating this infobox. It was last verified for version 1.31. |
The Janissaries feel that their current salaries do not reflect the great importance of their corps in times of war as well as the responsibility they are currently taking for the governance of the Empire. They now demand that the state provide them with better compensation.
Given their current powers we can hardly refuse.

Please help with verifying or updating this infobox. It was last verified for version 1.31. |
With the Janissaries in total control of the government the local members of the corps are able to exert much greater influence over the rule in our provinces as well. The people of [oppressed_province.GetName] have risen in support of their rightful sovereign, as they believe the local Janissaries are oppressing them with undue taxes and misuse of power.

There are some that still support the [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] and would see the influence of the Janissaries limited in government. Acting in ways that has made it hard for the Janissaries to target him [Root.great_minister.GetName] has in short time managed to make good use of his influence in government to strengthen [Root.Monarch.GetName]'s position.

Janissaries Demand Advisors' Heads
![]() |
Please help with verifying or updating this infobox. It was last verified for version 1.31. |
As the House of Osman is highly revered, revolting troops are more likely to blame the ills of the state on the influence of advisors and favorites rather than the Sultan himself. The Janissaries are now demanding that we hand over several palace figures to them for execution, including numerous treasury officials blamed for paying them in impure coinage as well as the Chief Black Eunuch, a major intermediary between the Sultan and the world outside the palace.

- By forcing the inspection of all rolls of membership in the Janissaries [Root.Monarch.GetName] has finally managed to impose control over the corps again. All bad elements and non-soldiers are being weeded out of the system and will no longer receive state salaries or the status associated with being Janissaries. This is not something the former Janissaries take lightly however, while the [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] has the authority to carry out these measures some are taking up arms against their former monarch.
