Cad'Lear Rebellion

This event caused the country of Zilcan's boarder to be redefined to the east of Cad'Lear Scar and the country of Cad'Lear to be founded.
In 4653 Zilcan decided to mount another major attack on Rexthen in order to capture new slaves as well as possibly reclaim some of the land they considered theirs by right. This attack seemed to be going well until a group of Storm and Fire Giants attacked deep behind their lines cutting the invasion force off and leaving them vulnerable to an ambush of Hill and Frost Giants. This embarrassment lead to an over extended counter attack that soon wound up simply searching the mountains for enemies, while the Giants attacked the boarder and broke into Zilcan. The Giants had been informed of the counter by a group of Aasimar known as The Liberation Army that was made up of escaped slaves living in Rexthen. The giants then joined by an uprising by the Aasimar, starting in the North west of Zilcan near to the Endless Expanse and quickly spread across the country constantly on the move and gaining the support of Aasimar along the way, until they arrived at the large city of Cad'Lear where a number of Giants along with a large force of Aasimar took the city and fortified it. The giant forces soon returned to Rexthen, and bolstered their defences there happy that the attack on their land had been painful enough, to deter the Zilcan’s from further incursions. The Aasimar claimed to have become the independent city state of Cad’Lear at this point, their defences were strong and they knew that it would be hard for the Zilcans to force them out of the city.
This was all the foothold that the Assimar needed, emboldened by the success of these rebels, more and more Aasimar started to throw of their shackles and attack nearby demons before fleeing to Cad’Lear to join the fight. The demon forces were weak after their failed attack on Rexthen add to that the constant disruptions caused by slaves right across their country, anything from missing tools and equipment to all out attacks on civilians and military alike. The demons started to kill their slaves which slowed these incidents but caused the rebels to go on the offensive, they attacked without fear relentless passion and generations of pent up rage. The Aasimar fought ferociously for months attacking with no regard for their own safety, they fought for the freedom of their brothers and sister, they fought for those who have lived in bondage since the awakening, they fought for their children and their children’s children. They managed to take the city of Gen'Lear and Zar'Lear which were the other two cities that had Aasimar Spires of Creation.
At this point the Aasimar began to call themselves a nation rather than just a city state and officially held their first election as to who should rule them. Still being at war the fledgling nation decided to choose one of the generals who had seen the most success on the battlefield as their first president and of the three selected as candidates General Tandrik Sengre received the most votes. The war continued during his term but with the hard won victory at the battle of Desecrated Fortress one of the three portals to the Abyss allowing the demons back to the mortal plane, was taken from the Zilcan forces and fighting subsided. During the war many Tieflings in Zilcan had fled or been slaughtered making it less attractive to continue fighting for their freedom, an uneasy peace settled over the two countries, though no official terms were signed and officially the war still continues, the fighting had stopped.
