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. | Seeing the power of the colossus that Yamenna has become shaken, Parka and Dermon seek their freedom as well.

Dermon itself rebels | Dermon itself rebels a generation later, during the First Uprising of Dermon in 592, but the insurgents are soon torn apart by disagreements over the distribution of spoils and the political future of Dermon, many defect back to Yamenna, and the rebellion eventually falls apart. Only three years later, in 589 B.E.B., the Aribelians, still disgruntled over Yamenna's failure to provide them the tax relief promised thirty years prior and increasingly restless in the tight fist of Yamenaen rule, rebel as well. The First Oshalian Rebellion fails, and its consequences are dire. In one final attempt to maintain its grip on Geran and the surrounding lands, Yamenna renews its ties with the Wertians, granting them lands to settle in in the Hajalad and the southern steppes in exchange for the service of their feared cavalry. For one more century, Geran remains peaceful. | ||
