Blue Flame Rebellion

The Blue Flame Rebellion was an armed insurrection waged against the Amunavid Dynasty by the so called "Blue Flame Movement." The rebels cited the ruling dynasty as the cause for their many ailments, which included recent harvest failures, heavy impressments from the army, and a steep rise in crime and disorder. The rebelion began near Omagi in 1108 and soon afterwards the rebels began identifying themselves with blue ribbons and painting symbols of the ancient blue flame of Kohj.

Although the initial rebellion in Omagi was quickly crushed, the rebellion gained much traction in the subsequent three years, with a majority of the Garmoun region falling into the hands of the rebels. The rebellion began to splinter in 1113 mainly because of the major religious differences within the movement. The divide finally manifested itself in 1115, when the significant avosian sect declared the theocratic Harpara Sacred Nation from the city of Pragla. This development outraged the many Jabalist, Vaygn, and Jordoxic rebels, who swore off all cooperation with the new state.

After the failed rebel siege of Karabi in 1112, the strength of the Blue Flames began to deteriorate and the Amunavids began to slowly reconquer their lands.

In 1118 began the siege of Pragla, capital of the Harpara Sacred Nation. It lasted for nearly a whole year, before the city fell and was brutally sacked 1117. The last Blue Flame strongholds held out in the Ardan mountains until 1123.

From 1108-1123 the population of the Garmoun had been reduced by around 30%.
