Šenuriklý Istr Hnev (also sometimes called by its modernized Morish name of Šenzurklý Isturwa Hnev) was an abolitionist group active from around 2639 CGC until its disbandment in 2682 CGC. Though it originated among native Estvoldians living in territories throughout the planet Gerualdi, the group was focused on the civil rights and political freedoms of the cancchian people, a species native to Gerualdi that had been artificially created as servants and beasts of burden through spellcraft many centuries before the Estvoldians' arrival on Gerualdi. They secured a political victory in 2658 CGC to have various Estvoldian governments recognize the cancchias as Kin and thus deserving of legal protections while in Estvoled-controlled territories. However, the more immediate outcome of their efforts was resulting backlash from native Gerualdians and the civil unrest from large populations of cancchias attempting to migrate to regions seemingly more sympathetic to them and their subsequent and often-violent clashes with residents that resisted the refugees' arrival.
Modern historians tend to view the Estvoldian colonists and Gerualdian natives' relations as doomed to sour with enough time, and many even believe that the Nictan Tri-Accord, the most prominent political power native to Gerualdi at the time, only singled out Šenuriklý Istr Hnev as an expedient political scapegoat to explain their distrust of Estvoldians and to turn growing pro-cancchia public opinions against the cancchias by associating them with power-hungry, alien colonists. However, at the time, Šenuriklý Istr Hnev was blamed for the unrest throughout Gerualdi and the Estvoldians losing power over their colonies and territories throughout the planet, and that blame came from not only Gerualdi, but the abolitionists' nations of origin. Their political efforts were swiftly undone in the face of Gerualdian resistance, and all its major leaders and known members were extradited to their homelands in Estvoled (or "ancestral homeland" in the case of those born abroad and not on Estvoldian soil) for judgment.
The charges that the abolitionists faced were typically focused on inciting unrest, accusations of political anarchy, and violent rebellion depending on the court and actions of a given individual, but the abolitionists faced punishments that contemporary accounts tended to consider unusually disproportionate to the crime. It is thought that this was in an attempt to mollify the Nictan Tri-Accord in particular, which had accused its Estvoldian allies of colluding with Šenuriklý Istr Hnev to destabilize the Tri-Accord. These concessions would ultimately fail to appease the Nictan Tri-Accord or any other Gerualdian power, and Šenuriklý Istr Hnev, once touted as the source of all Gerualdian political upheaval and headlining as threats to interstellar peace, quickly faded to memory as Estvoldian governments embroiled their nations into war with the newly-formed Alamír Empire of Raljikka and Sigzlor and the Nictan Tri-Accord's successor, the Gerualdi Union.
Name
The name Šenuriklý Istr Hnev is an early modern Morish phrase meaning "freedom's last breath," though it was noted at the time to rarely be used among native Gerualdians for its difficulty in pronunciation even by those fluent in Morish. Their political opponents and detractors often called them chi-dti — a slang contraction meaning "dog wives" — while their Gerualdian allies or sympathizers instead tended to call them Szen-is-hyn, a shortening of their Morish name adapted to phonemes common in, or at least pronounceable in, Late Tasaramar and Original Nicta-slio, the primary languages of their major political allies at the time. Cancchias contemporary to the group usually referred to them only in epithets that ranged from affectionate but distant, such as araisnarais, meaning "a friend of mine" in the Proto-Cancchid language, or the more disdainful roírnaoh, meaning "blusterer" or "fool," having the connotation of someone who only speaks but has no meaningful action to back up their words.
