Iswin Uprising

The Iswin Uprising was a major uprising in Erman Occupied Daravia by the Daravian Resistance which started on 4 Kalidar 2179 CC during the Great War on Espa.
In 2174 CC, Daravia had been overwhelmed by and fallen to the Erman Armies. The Sack of Weena as well as continuous harsh treatment by the occupiers caused deep running resentment between the population and their overlords
General Luddek had been in charge of the collapsing army in the south and had formed a formidable resistance cell, After 5 years of unspeakable brutality by the Ermans, the resistance had flared up into a full partisan war in the country, many of the members of these partisans had been armed with former army weapons, the city of Iswin was a vital port town at the Luca Rivers lower Delta, and an important key in the Venzian-Erman supply routes, for this the Homeland resistance force decided to cut it off.
On the 4th of Kalidar 2 o’clock the uprising begun sporadically. While initially successful in taking control of the cities power and water plants, airfields and several key facilities the uprising failed to secure the docks, most crucially though they failed to link up and the city was divided into several groups, and though there would be some coordination, many groups were now mostly fighting in their own wars.
On the 11th day of the uprising the Ermans retaliated harshly, going home by home, killing everyone, man, woman, elderly, children, withing 2 days 60,000 civilians had been murdered. But despite this the Resistance held strong.
Cell's such as the Tirka Resistance cell, under Asil Iztlin Akkan who went by the alias of Coda, his cell was closest to the docks and attempted to take them so fiercely they were put out of use, however Coda would fail to take the docks meaning the uprising would not get the reinforcements from Brezia it desperately needed, and slowly the uprising began to suffocate as hundreds died every day.
As the city was continuously shelled by Erman fire and building by building was leveled, no help arrived and as the uprising dragged out till the winter of 2179 CC, General Luddek was killed and the uprising began to collapse, the Ermans made it routine to take no prisoners and execute every person they captured, some cells which still had the man power such as those of Coda managed to break out of the city and live to fight another day. But most had become trapped and as the last resistance stronghold fell on 8 Friafor 2179, the true horror of the Ermans was unleashed on the wasteland and building by building was systematically leveled.
To the international community the true horrors of what had transpired at Iswin would not be known until after the Great War came to a close in 2189 CC. To the Ermans it only justified further violence against their Darav subjects, culminating into the Daravian Genocide of 2187 CC.
