Tyrrish Rebellion

The **Tyrrish Rebellion** was a event in the Kingdom of Navarre, that took place six years prior to the start of Fourth Wing. The events that occured during the Rebellion and the failiure of the Rebellion, largely influence the events happening in the Empyrean Series.

## History

The Tyrrish people use the term "apostasy" whereas the Navarrians use the word "secession". The rebellion was led by Fen Riorson and concluded with the executions of all rebellion leaders.

## Aftermath

### Fate of the Rebellion leaders

Members of the rebellion were referred to as "separatists" by the Kingdom of Navarre. They were all executed at Calldyr.

### The 107 marked children

All rebellion leaders' children under the age of 20 at the time were forced to watch their parents' executions, and were branded with rebellion relics by General Melgren's dragon, Codagh, and then were displaced and fostered by loyal high ranking families with siblings separated. 107 were marked with rebellion relics, with the youngest being a girl named Julianne, who was born with her relic.

There was disagreements among military leaders on how to handle the children of the rebels, with General Lilith Sorrengail stating in an official brief to King Tauri, "It is not this general's opinion that the children of rebellion leaders should be forced to witness their parents' executions."

As part of the peace deal, all Marked Ones (those bearing rebellion relics) are required to enroll at Basgiath War College and join the Riders Quadrant.

### Destruction of Aretia

TBA

### Rules

There are two specific additions to the Codex regarding Marked Ones:

* Addendum 5.2: "In the best interest of preserving peace within Navarre, no more than three cadets carrying rebellion relics may be assigned to any squad of any quadrant."
* Addendum 5.3: In addition to last year's changes, marked ones assembling in groups of three or more will now be considered an act of seditious conspiracy and is hereby a capital offense.

## Location

Major locations include the province of Tyrrendor. The rebellion was headquartered at it's capital of Aretia. After the Battle of Aretia and the execution of the rebellion's leaders, the city was burned and razed to the ground.

## Involved Characters

#### Fen Riorson

Fen Riorson, Xaden's father, was the leader of the Tyrrish Rebellion. He committed high treason against the Kingdom of Navarre and was referred to as "the Great Betrayer." At the Battle of Aretia, he was believed to have slain Brennan Sorrengail.
He, alongside fellow members of the rebellion, was executed at Calldyr by the dragon Codagh with the use of dragon fire.

According to Colonel Lewis Markham's book, *"Navarre, an Unedited History*," Fen lost his sanity and accused King Tauri of a vast conspiracy during his last days of interrogation.

#### Issac Mairi

Isaac Mairi was married to Colonel Mairi, one of the leaders of the Tyrrish Rebellion. Unlike his wife, who participated in the Rebellion, he himself was not a member of it. He wasn't on the death roll of the executions at Calldyr, but he was executed too. Isaac was executed at his family's home, on the same day the executions at Calldyr took place. At least his son Liam Mairi had to watch the execution of his father, if Sloane Mairi was present is unknown.

### Colonel Mairi

She was one of the leaders of the Tyrrish Rebellion and was because of this executed by dragon fire during the Calldyr executions. She was skilled with Runesand made the 107 protection runes for the children of the rebellion leaders, which would protect them when their parents would be gone. The Colonel's runes led to General Melegren being unable to use his signet in any context with the marked ones, ensuring the marked ones protection and safety.
