The Insurgence

The Insurgence was a rebel group formed by Nan and Sleepy in order to fight against the growing tyranny of Cam and his Order. The Insurgence comes from the Latin root word *Insurgere,* which means to rise up against. The Insurgence formed on the 14th of April, 2021, only a few days after the initial creation of the KiwiBirdz server. It would dissolve on June 27th, 2021 due to the threat of tyranny disappearing when the Order disbanded.

The Insurgence first came to be when both Nan and Sleepy were threatened by Cam due to their rapid progression and gaining strength being viewed as something hostile to the Order. As they already started to grow close, Sleepy and Nan were quick to band together in order to protect themselves. Initially, the collaboration was meant as a way to protect themselves, but progressively it would form to be a more fierce rebel group instead.

## Rising Tensions

Originally the Insurgence was created as a unison between Nan and Sleepy in order to protect themselves from the growing tyranny the rise of the Order promised. They would still remain living in the main KiwiBirdz village, and instead just focused on making sure they were fully protected, and had each other's back. They played to each other's strengths. However slowly as the Order grew in members, its influence spreading throughout the server, did Nan and Sleepy decide to go into hiding.

### Sand Village

First established by Nan, a villager farm was created in the sand village a little ways away from the main village. Upon Sleepy finding out about it, she branched out her help, which further developed the two's relationship. A lot of time was spent farming resources from this village. Claimed as an accident, Pug brought in a raid of zombies, which totaled the villagers and the workshop. It was later revealed in Part 2, Season 3 that this was done on purpose to slow progress.

### Hidden Base

The destruction of the sand village was the last straw, and from there Nan set out to create a secret base far away and well hidden from the old village. This secret base would be the main and only compound for the Insurgence, and served many purposes. Progressively over time, it expanded. In the end, the base was comprised of; a villager trading hall, a training room and shooting range, two XP collectors, a nether portal, a status chamber, storage room, and Nan's bedroom.

## Recruitments

After some time of the Insurgence being only comprised of Nan and Sleepy, they decided it was time to gather some more allies. The Order had been expanding in the meanwhile, gaining the devotion of many people on the server. Nan suggested going and recruiting both Iris and Mike.

#### Mike

As Mike has disappeared off in the early days of the server, he was someone who was unbiased, and therefore someone Nan and Sleepy were willing to put their trust in. After being initiated into the rebel group, Mike continued to stay away in exile from the Kiwi Birdz village, instead doing recognizance, and watching from the shadows.

#### Iris

Nan and Sleepy arranged to meet up with Iris in the sand village when the moon was high, to avoid any lurking eyes. Although a bit hesitant at first, after hearing the benefits and protection she would be promised from the Insurgence, she joined.

#### Pug

Originally a double agent working for the Insurgence, Pug decided she no longer trusted the Insurgence, and fully sided with the Order. She solidified her betrayal of the Insurgence when she slayed Sleepy to prove Cam her loyalty.

## Dissolvement

#### Deep Slumber

After the deep slumber, all of the members of the server were disoriented, so a lot of the Insurgence actively slowed down. The Order wasn't doing anything outright towards the server or the Insurgence members, so this time period was filled with supply gathering and silent recognizance.

#### Null Point

After the destabilization of the null point, both of the factions mutually dissolved. The imbalance of the world forced the two sides to work together, but ultimately it lead to nothing since the null point exploded, destroying the world they lived in, and once again the members of the server fell into a long sleep.

## New World

    In the new world, the Insurgence and the Order are the talk of the past. Difficult memories and moments that still cause dilemma between the members, but has not been reformed. This especially can be seen when Nan cannot bring herself to forgive Sleepy when she goes with Cam, the ties of the past still having a hold over all of them. Despite being with the Zenko clan now, Sleepy has built a small room dedicated to the Insurgence and her past. This room also contains a book dedicated to Nan.
