Slave Revolt

The Great Slave Revolt was a massive uprising in the Empire of Macedonia that was led by a Turkish slave known only as 'Mehmed'. It was the largest of its kind to happen in Macedonia, aswell as in the post-One Day War world. It was particulary alarming to the government of Macedonia as its military seemed powerless to stop it. 
It began in 1369 AD, with an escape of 300 Turkish slaves from a small workcamp in Southern Illyria. They managed to defeat a force of 1200 Macedon soldiers and by the end of the year gathered about 50,000 more slaves, women and children from various parts of Illyria, Dalmatia and Serbia. The adults of the rebel army managed to withstand and defeat the Macedonian Army several times. The army often split up into several larger bands and groups that raided plantations and estates of nobles for money and food, although they were allied under one cause at all times. 
The government in Vergina began to seriously panic, with Filipisus locking himself in his palace for several days. After the abdication of Filipisus and introduction of the Triumvirate, several attempts were made to eliminate the rebellion.
