The Burning Rebellion — MythOS World Event
The Burning Rebellion is a defining historical moment in MythOS — a world that records its own history permanently and where nothing is ever forgotten.
What Was The Burning Rebellion?
In the third century of the War of Heaven, the mortal nations of the Mortal Lands rose up against their divine patrons. Tired of being pawns in a war they did not start, a coalition of human kingdoms, dwarf strongholds, and elven enclaves declared independence from all Twelve Thrones. The rebellion lasted forty years and cost two million mortal lives. It failed militarily — the Thrones crushed the coalition — but succeeded politically. The Armistice that ended the War of Heaven included, at mortal insistence, a clause forbidding the conscription of mortal soldiers into divine conflicts. This was the first time in history that mortals negotiated with gods as equals.
