Magus Rebellion

The Magus Rebellion was started by the organisation "Alliance of Magus" after the fall of the Sanguine Dominion, a past province of the Chryndis Empire, which they could now claim as their own as no nation would reasonably claim it. Although that is regarded as the catalyst of the rebellion, the Alliance stood against the continued lack of magic users in high positions, with people using them as pawns in battle or tools in noble courts. The rebellion began 1241 and ended in 1242, although many argue that the rebellion started with the founding of the organisation in 1163, when magical users started to organise themselves in a larger group rather than smaller, regional  collectives in academias and colleges.

When the Alliance claimed the land that once was the Sanguine Dominion, many saw that as their only act in the beginning, but the land was still overrun with undead and in ruins, which made it unusable as an initial settlement. The Alliance of Magus claimed the remaining land around the Magus lake, stating that due to its magical properties, it is to be held only by magical users, as it is unknown what others may do when they find out how to harness its power. At first, they attempted this by peaceful means for the first month, but neither the Empire of Magnierra or Forlant would secede their land to the organisation.

The Alliance took it into their own hands, going to every village, town and city in their way with the threat of razing it to the ground. Whilst the first settlements didn’t take the threat too seriously, when the refugees from the areas started appearing, both nations responded with military action. However, lacking in the power magic users held, their numbers meant nothing when fireballs started raining down and there weren’t enough healers to pick up the pieces.

The largely militaristic action of the Alliance, and increasing death toll, had lead to a significant loss in their numbers, as many didn’t condone such militaristic action and had preferred to restore Sanguine and use that as their settlement instead. Soon enough the power of both sides had matched, which lead to the three countries signing a peace treaty.
