Rebellion

Rebellion is a quest in Second Human Book.

## Background

Renald Van Durce reported to Gardon Bloodclaw that a rebellion under Korras Retka has overthrown the previous king of Toran, and now took over the kingdom of Pyrru, and that threatens their war effort against the Demon Legion, which Renald says that Korras and his followers are Demon followers. He sent Gardon to foil it from the roots. But unknown to him, Renald has other plans...

## Opening

Thanok "alerts" the Retka's Army of their presence on the pass, seeing the rebel bases past the pass. But the rebels are mostly conscripts and have poor armor and weaponry, while Larine the Exile and her group infiltrates Pyrru.

Cora Redfist asked Gardon should he fail in this plan, which the latter replied that he never needed a plan to win. Then she reported that the Village of Essix, under Kajon Marauders, are willing to defect if he kills the Kajon Marauders's Lady Trewall of Keyhelm.

## The Battle

Gardon commands his forces to prepare a strong defense near where the Retka soldiers will approach his base, via the narrow pass. Then, he built a strong force consisting of heavily-armored troops, ranged soldiers, siege weapons and some support units. Then, chose whatever is effective in Leadership Boni.

Then, they pushed on the pass, the Pyrrean Pass Defenders have too strong defenses, so they used the catapults to destroy the static defenses, then faced the infantry in a back-and-forth battle, up to the pass exit. Then they attacked the first settlement they found, then built a base on it. Then they rebuilt their forces, then wading once again to the pass. Then they did a detour, killing an Archmage allied with Retka in a dungeon. Then they pushed on Essix, facing and killing Lady Trewall and eliminating the Kajon Marauders, freeing the village and arming them with good weapons then the villagers pushed on to clear the Retkas out. Then, after further refurbishing, they pushed on towards a crossroad, on the left, more rebels hiding several Retka's Army camps, then at the right the main Retka camp. The duo and their forces push the right, then crushed the Retka camp, then turned their way to the rebels in the left. They crushed the rebels and the Retkas.

## Aftermath

Gardon pushed on the pass, when Thanok asked if Cora should get out of bounds. He has to just look at her movement.

## Outcome

Should you get Whispers in the Dark in here and the End of an Uprising, Scarlett Retka's fate is sealed in the aftermath of End of an Uprising, as she was used by Cora to power up, by sucking her life.

## True Story

* Cora already has the Orb of Darkness (Cora's Orb) at the start, instead of obtaining it by researching her Leadership Boni. This signifies her doomed fate from the start.
* Hydromancers are replaced by Stormbringers. Golden Guard's healers, War Priests, are now usable.
* Pyrrean regular troops now have naval-based skins, instead of being generic bandit and assassin skin, with better weaponry and more meat than the feeble units in the original.
* Some Falcon Regiments' units (Thunder Falcon) are added in one time, along with General Aveen Elvir's message about his deeds in the Royal Army border post.
* Cora's dialogue at the ending is altered for consistency with her decision of Whispers of the Dark.
* Gardon and Thanok's dialogue was removed, and the former left, instead of the latter.
* General Aveen Elvir warned Thero (Gardon's nickname) about what he did to Lerrig and Van Durce's suspicion is what was written in the message.
