First Slave War
The First Slave War, 23 Jun, 2388–47 Disimpar, 2397, was a slave rebellion against the Esox Kingdom which took place on Drotonerth. The revolt started in 2388 when Itzxahual and Cozamacoztli, two slaves from Tíreia who claimed to be prophets, captured the city of Zhrurriicia in the middle of the planet's main continent with 700 fellow slaves. Soon after, Arsinius, a Caniic slave, stormed the city of Augtorzz along the Eastern shore, and slaughtered the population, and then joined Itzxahual and Cozamacoztli's army and became their military commander. The Caniic Hierarchy privately began funding the slaves, which escalated the fighting.
The former slaves, now funded and better equipped thanks the Caniic Hierarchy, moved on to the southern coast and took the cities of Luuvizz and Whareiizza. Their exploit triggered several minor revolts on the frontier islands in the Auragizz Sea. Itzxahual, Cozamacoztli, and Arsinius were able to repel several royal naval attempts to quell the rebellion until a fleet commanded by General-Supreme Aaurizz arrived on Drotonerth in 2395 and besieged the cities controlled by the slaves. The revolt ended in 2397 with the fall of Zhrurriicia, and Augtorzz.

[coming soon]First Slave War
The rebellion started when Itzxahual and Cozamacoztli, with their group of followers, stormed Zhrurriicia, the largest city in the middle of the continent. They swiftly overtook the city, freeing slaves and taking any resources they could find. The news of the successful takeover quickly spread, and other slaves started to join their ranks. Arsinius, a Caniic slave who had been planning his own uprising, heard of the takeover in Zhrurriicia and decided to join forces with Itzxahual and Cozamacoztli. The three leaders formed a powerful alliance and began to move southward, taking control of Luuvizz and Whareiizza along the way.
As the rebellion grew, more slaves began to hear of the prophecy and joined the fight. The Caniic Hierarchy saw an opportunity to gain an advantage over their Sauruanian rivals and started to fund the rebellion, providing weapons and supplies to help the slaves in their fight for freedom.
The war raged on for years, with both sides suffering heavy losses. The Esox Kingdom sent their armies to quell the rebellion, but the slaves were prepared and fought fiercely. The Caniic Hierarchy continued to provide support, and the rebellion spread to other parts of Drotonerth, sparking minor revolts on the frontier islands in the Auragizz Sea. Despite their efforts, the Esox Kingdom was unable to defeat the slaves. It wasn't until General-Supreme Aaurizz arrived on Drotonerth in 2395 with a massive fleet that the tide turned. His forces besieged the cities controlled by the slaves, and after two long years of fighting, Zhrurriicia and Augtorzz fell.
The First Slave War had come to an end, but it had left a lasting impact on Drotonerth. Slavery was reinstated, and the rebels were punished severely. Itzxahual and Arsinius were both killed in battle, and Cozamacoztli captured and publicly executed after serving 17 years in prison to serve as a warning to any slaves who might consider another rebellion in the future. However, the rebellion had planted a seed of resistance in the hearts of the oppressed that could not be easily extinguished. The survivors of the war, both slave and free, continued to spread the message of the prophecy and inspire others to rise up against their oppressors.
