Great Freedom War

After four thousand years of systemic slavery, the tiefling race and the majority of Seilsan was suffering. From ransacked villages to tortured souls, their spirit was at an all time low. The dragonborn in Leushlan had not been treated particularly well either, though not to the point that they were held as slaves. Regardless, they were not oblivious to what had been happening in the south, and the slaves brought back to the cities were growing in number.

A quiet movement began in Dragon Marsh. The dragonborn there had freedom to speak out in waters that elves weren't able to interpret. They brainstormed ways to get a larger, united group together without alerting the elves to their plan. Slowly, word began to spread among the dragonborn on land, then to the enslaved tieflings.

A key component to this uprising was an elf known as the "Free Wren." The true identity of this person was unknown at the time, but it was thought that they were a wealthy property owner themselves and came from a line of slave owners. The Free Wren met with the dragonborn and offered their aid. They were able to help get information through to the enslaved tieflings, and further still to the tieflings in Seilsan.

The war would be long, and bloody. Many people were willing to die to maintain their lifestyle, and many more were willing to die to change it. It began with a group of slaves owned by an important general. The Free Wren was able to slip a plan through to them: The general would soon be hosting a large dinner for many major Elodian military and political leaders. The Free Wren offered a subtle and potent poison - ricin - for the meal, and urged the tieflings to use it, and begin the revolt. Soon after the officials returned to their own estates, they all were overwhelmed with nausea. It didn't take long for the tieflings in other estates to recognize this opportunity. There was a large slaughter, and after their own estates could no longer restrain them, they armed themselves.

By this time, the dragonborn had gathered to assist, and the mass of them turned to help free other tieflings in the area. They killed many prominent slave owners before running for the city limits to ride the water to Seilsan. After this, the war between the Elodian Empire and the communities of Seilsan raged on for hundreds of years. Both sides used grueling tactics and both sides had a high death count.
