- "Bread! We need bread!"
- —The crowd's shouts at the Bread Riot[src]
The Bread Riot took place on September 8, 247 HE on the Nightmarket in Corus. It was caused by the bakery Two for One raising its prices in connection with an already bad harvest. A mob formed in front of the bakery, complaining. Members of the Provost's Guard on duty on the Nightmarket tried to bring the crowd to order, among them Corporal Greengage, but to no avail. The guardsmen on duty there soon realized they couldn't do anything against the crowd, blowing the General Alarm signal to call other Dogs to help. Rebakah Cooper, Clara Goodwin and Matthias Tunstall heard this and came to help.[1]
