January Uprising

The January Uprising was an insurrection by the Jodithine Clan against the Hybro-Gorathic Empire. It ended with complete failure within a month.
== Background ==
In the Gorathic War, the Jodithine Clan had been devastated by Hybretian raids, and the burning of their main settlement. Their leader, Jorithan, was killed by Hybretian Cavalry at the Battle of Dovris Road. Following the war, the Jodithine's new leader, Huron, refused to modernize the clan, which he saw as attempts by the Hybretians to assimilate his people as second-class citizens. The Jodithines resented Ascina, Queen of the Viseroths, as they believed she had sold their people out to the Hybretians.
On Huron's orders, Queen Ascina was poisoned in late 254, and died after a few torturous weeks. Unfortunately for Huron, the Jodithine hand was immediately recognized, and Emperor of the Union, Daelin I seized his representatives as hostages.
The Hybretian Army, under Field Marshall General Drakon Kalkhas, met and defeated a Jodithine force at Corsters Bridge on January the 15th, when it was realized that fighting a well armed force without rifles doesn't go well.
Both sides dug in for the winter, and the Jodithines made the first strike against the Hybretians at the Battle of Clearnings in March. The attack was a miserable failure, and most of the Rebel force was killed or wounded in the attack, with the Hybretian Calvalry chasing down the fleeing forces. With the Hybretian Army inbound, and afraid of a second Razing of their towns, Huron's daughter had him arrested and presented him to the Hybretians.
