The Aribelians of the Oshale have no interest in the battles of the south. With the de-facto secession of the important province, Yamenna loses a great many of its resources and power, and soon, the Wertian encroachment is unavoidable. The Wertian Wars stretch over almost the entire first half of the 7th century and end in a devastating defeat in the Battle of the Black Mountains in 589. Yamenna loses all of its territory south of Daernis and east of the Ílgarian Woods and the southern tip of the Hajalad reaching north to Cas Dárin, depriving them entirely of their access to the Ilathw. | The Aribelians of the Oshale have no interest in the battles of the south.

Seeing the power of the colossus that Yamenna has become shaken, Parka and Dermon seek their freedom as well. Their first joint rebellion in 651 fails, but anti-Yamenaen sentiments remain strong among the mountain-dwelling Andarians and Kattasians of that region, and multiple smaller rebellions are to follow. The most significant early uprising is the Falcon’s Rebellion of 618, which sees an alliance of Kattasian and Andarian tribes in the Valley of Parka rise against the Yamenaen authorities. The local military swiftly overwhelmed, the Kingdom gains the upper hand only after receiving unexpected help from the Oshale. Reinforced by Aribelian infantry, the Yamenaen army takes full control of the Valley of Parka, enslaving most of its native population and deporting them to the heartland of the kingdom and the remainders of the Hajalad still under Yamenaen control. Loyal Kattasian tribes from the plains and the Mountains of Dermon are settled on the gained land; Aribelian claims of both land and slaves are turned down. The Yamenaen general Ašutta grants them a relief on taxation for the following 24 years, but the promise is never confirmed by the senate of Yamenna, further souring relations between the ruling class and the Oshale. | |||
