NPD

The National Protectors of Doggerland (NPD) is a paramilitary force active in Doggerland since the early 20th century. Since its inception, the organization has remained dedicated to preserving Dogger culture, language, and Catholicism in Doggerland. In addition, the party has varying support for kicking out Dutch influence and peoples, tightening Dogger immigration, and banning Calvinist faith.

The Long Penance Era
The Long Penance was a time during the early 19th century where the NPD was able to effect massive social change though peaceful and violent means that produced more awareness of Doggish language speakers in the south.

The Three King Era
The organization was founded in 1923 by Padean VeGiobain, Rob Veharrais, and Tòmas Dunaid (known as the Three Kings) who had served alongside one another in the French Foreign Legion. The men, who had been radicalized by watching their culture and language slowly die out, originally took part in acts of civil disobedience such as a 9-day hunger strike outside of a Calvinist church in Port Nandels and a 100-man protest against Dutch-speakers in Lijke Oere.

On January 9th, 1926, after 3 years of protest, Tòmas Dunaid alongside 6 other NPD members burned down a Calvinist church in Mistlân. This would result in the national government stationing police in Doggish villages to try to discover the perpetrators. Feeling oppressed, the traditional Doggers started to develop an anti-government sentiment, and some young Doggish men rushed off to join the NPD. Because of this NPD militiamen led by Tòmas Dunaid and Rob VeBharrais would initiate violent attacks on the police and government officials, much to the dismay of Padean VeGiobain. All of this resulted in the beginning of The Terror Years where the NPD under the Three Kings leadership would lead a devastating and violent 9-year campaign against the Dutch and Calvinist church.

On April 7th, 1931, Rob VeBharrais and a squadron of the NPD found themselves surrounded in the city of Port Nandles during a raid. The group sought cover in a brick office building, taking the workers hostage. The police raided the building at 7:30 PM resulting in initial heavy casualties, yet the police pushed onward. All 17 NPD militiamen died, including Rob VeBharrais and 13 police officers died.

The Two King Era
With Rob MacBharrais dead the leadership of the NPD fell down to Tòmas Dunaid and Padean MacGiobain both of which were ideologically opposed. Padean VeGiobain desired to restore Doggish culture, language, and the Catholic faith in a primarily peaceful way while Tòmas Dunaid wanted to eradicate the Dutch and English from Doggerland and bathe Dogger soil in blood. VeGiobain, forced into violence, tended to be more reserved and target mostly Dogger police and military while King Dunaid's forces held nothing back burning down businesses, shooting innocents in the streets, and assassinating low-level politicians. In 1934, Tòmas Dunaid and his forces clashed with police in the city of Ville De Peaux shortly after the Great Pagan Strike during this clash Dunaid was shot multiple times in the chest and killed.

The Lone King Era
By late 1934 Padean VeGiobain remained the only central leader in the NPD and under his command, most NPD militiamen would be moved to the mountains in the north where they would take over small villages and clash with the Dogger military. This was a relatively peaceful time compared to the last three years, but even then, churches were burned, women in villages ran by the NPD were raped, and some cities laid in rubble.

In the spring of 1935, the Doggish police ambushed VeGiobain and some of his forces while they were moving through the mountains. VeGiobain told his men to stand down and peacefully surrendered, not willing to let more Doggers die. On October, 5th, VeGiobain was found to have committed suicide in his cell but conspiracy theories still exist about his death.

Leaderless, the NPD faded into irrelevance with the only news coming from them being the occasional terrorist attack from the 1940s-1960s.
