“ And so here you are. Unable to fight. Unable to free yourselves. Considered second-class. And yet, if your oppressors were to get into a war, it might give you an opening. A chance to break away… ”
The Pahn Kahl rebellion is an attempt by the Pahn Kahl to free their people from the rule of Hallandren that occurred approximately 300 years after the Manywar.[2]
Background
The Pahn Kahl as a people have harbored resentment for centuries due to the abuse they have received at the hands of the Hallandren: their subjugation,[2] relegation to the lowliest jobs,[1] and seeming total assimilation to the point that most Hallandren assume their culture no longer exists.[3][4]
The Pahn Kahl people have worked towards a rebellion for generations. They used their positions as stewards, scribes, and clerks, where they were responsible for performing many of the key functions in the palace, to gain influence in the kingdom slowly and quietly. Bluefingers' position in particular was passed down from a Pahn Kahl before him; this type of set-up greatly aided in accumulating more and more influence.[5]
A Pahn Kahl named Vahr led an unsuccessful attempt at a rebellion prior to Bluefingers' own attempt. Vahr spent more than a decade working towards the freedom of his people. He garnered the financial support of some of the Idrian slumlords and some of Hallandren’s economic competitors to raise an army.[6][7] Bluefingers, however, felt that Vahr's plans threatened his own by drawing too much attention to the otherwise overlooked Pahn Kahl, so he leaked information to the Returned to assist in Vahr's capture; after this, Vahr's rebellion fell apart.[8] Dedelin, king of Idris, was displeased to hear of Vahr's capture because he had hoped Hallandren would focus on the Pahn Kahl in lieu of Idris. It is due to Vahr's capture and Hallandren's subsequent renewed attention on its enemies that Dedelin decides, in an attempt to stave off an impending war at least until winter, to fulfill his contract with Susebron by sending Siri to T'Telir.[9]
Gestation
The Tunnels
The Pahn Kahl who held the position of steward prior to Bluefingers was instrumental in manipulating the priests into constructing an extensive tunnel system below the Court of the Gods and keeping it a secret from the Returned. As the project continues, Bluefingers uses it for his own ends both by misappropriating some of the funds and also as cover for digging projects of his own.[5] He is eventually able to use the tunnels below the court to grant covert entry to mercenaries and to Pahn Kahl Awakeners. He sequesters a large number of the former in the tunnels in preparation for the final attack and he sets the latter to the task of breaking the Lifeless army.[10] The Awakeners manage to break some of the Lifeless and command them to attack with deadly force if any Idrian is aggressive towards them, which results in a chaotic and deadly scene when the City Watch raids Vivenna’s meeting with the Idrian slumlords.[11]
Manipulation of Siri
When Siri arrives in T'Telir to marry Susebron, Bluefingers strives to gain her trust at the expense of the Hallandren. He thinks her trust in the Hallandren priests would preclude war between the two nations and hopes to use her to manipulate, by extension, the Idrians of the city. To this end, he invites her pity on the Pahn Kahl by drawing attention to their lowly stations. He also allows her to believe he is more ignorant of palace scheming than he really is, not letting on that he knows about Susebron's missing tongue, and expresses to her that his real concern is the Pahn Kahl not being able to retain their positions when a new God King succeeds Susebron, as the usual custom is to replace all the servants.[8] Knowing that Treledees has instructed Siri that she and Susebron must have a child as quickly as possible, Bluefingers further undermines her trust in the God King’s priests by warning her that this would actually bring danger to the couple.[12] This plan works to the extent that Siri asks him to get her and Susebron out of the palace should they become endangered.[13] Bluefingers' plan regarding Siri morphs, however, when Denth successfully captures and exploits Vivenna in their efforts to stir up the people of T'Telir, and Bluefingers instead conceives of the idea of Siri dying at the apparent hand of the Hallandren priests.[14]
Denth's Crew
Meanwhile, Denth's crew, whom Bluefingers had hired for the purpose of inciting the people of T'Telir, is busy out in the city. The crew attacks the supplies needed for war and, together with Vivenna, incites the Idrians in the slums. Denth also hatches a plan to kidnap the child of Nanrovah, Stillmark's high priest who vocally opposes war in the debates in court. His idea is to hold Nanrovah's daughter in order to blackmail him, but Vivenna eventually tumbles to Denth’s real motives and teams up with Vasher to rescue the girl and begin working against Denth's crew.[15]
Final Attack
The fact that the Court of the Gods plans to assemble to take a formal vote on war with Idris precipitates a final attack in the culmination of all of Bluefingers' plans. When Bluefingers sees the priests act preemptively in securing the God King and Queen inside the palace, he believes that they are suspicious of him and reacts by seizing both the God King’s palace and Blushweaver herself from her palace.[16]
The Tunnels
Bluefingers orders the capture and torture of Blushweaver so that the rebels can get the Lifeless command phrases from her. In the meantime, Lightsong enters the tunnels of his own volition, guided by his prophetic dreams and seeking the answer to why tensions between the two nations have risen so high even after the wedding. He and Llarimar, who comes with him, stumble onto the group of Pahn Kahl posing as priests as they torture Blushweaver, and they are both captured in their rescue attempt.[17] After their success extracting the Command phrase from Blushweaver, the Pahn Kahl kill her in front of Lightsong and obtain his Command phrase when they threaten to kill Llarimar too.[18]
After Susebron is sent into the tunnels, he ends up in a cage next to Lightsong. Bluefingers plans to leave Susebron's body in the palace dungeons and to place Blushweaver's and Lightsong's bodies in the Lifeless barracks surrounded by the corpses of Idrians.[2] When the Pahn Kahl retrieve Susebron from his cage in order to kill him, however, Lightsong thwarts their efforts by giving up his divine Breath (and his life with it) to heal Susebron's missing tongue.[19]
The Palace
When Susebron's priests hear about the impending vote, they are concerned for the God King and Queen's safety and sequester them in the palace under the pretext of discovering that Siri is with child.[20][16] After the fighting begins, Treledees takes Siri to reunite with Susebron. Bluefingers arrives and suggests that they flee through the tunnels under the palace, but on the way there Siri puts together the facts and understands that really this is a rebellion of the Pahn Kahl, with Bluefingers as the ringleader. They instead head towards the front gates.[1]
Vasher attempts to break into the palace to rescue Siri, but Denth and his mercenaries ambush and capture him outside Siri's door. Vivenna comes to his rescue and successfully frees him, but after being knocked out a window in the ensuing fight, Vasher is forced to draw Nightblood, who consumes Breath when unsheathed, in his effort to get through a group of soldiers and back to Denth. Having successfully manipulated Vasher into losing most of his Breaths, Denth then challenges him to a duel.[21] Vasher in his weakened state is no match for Denth. Just before Denth is about to kill him, Vasher transfers his few remaining Breaths to Denth, inducing such momentary ecstasy as to provide Vasher an opening to kill Denth with his dagger.[19][22]
Meanwhile, Treledees and the other of the God King's priests take Siri and Susebron towards the front gates in an attempt to escape the palace. Bluefingers and a force of Lifeless ambush the group and kill the priests; Susebron is sent into the tunnels while Bluefingers takes Siri to the fourth floor. There, he intends to kill Siri and place her on an altar surrounded by the corpses of Hallandren priests as proof that they only wanted her to come to T'Telir so they could sacrifice her to the God King. The rumors that she is with child would only make her death in such a manner more powerful.[19]
Susebron's healed tongue, which Lightsong restores to him in the tunnels, allows him to use Peacegiver's Treasure, the fifty thousand Breaths of which he is guardian. With such an incredible awakening force, Susebron efficiently quells the rebels' attack on the palace with a storm of awakened cloths and rescues Siri from Bluefingers' clutches.[23]
The Lifeless Army
Upon obtaining the Command phrases from Blushweaver and Lightsong, a small group of Pahn Kahl imprint the whole Lifeless army of Hallandren with a new Command phrase. Bluefingers directs them to give the army orders to march on Idris. All those who know the new Command phrase are then to kill themselves with poison so that no one will be able to stop the attack.[2]
Bluefingers intends to stage a scene in the now empty Lifeless barracks: with Susebron's body in the dungeons, he hopes that when the Hallandren find Lightsong and Blushweaver, the sole two holders of the army's Command phrases, in the barracks surrounded by the bodies of Idrians, it will appear that Lightsong and Blushweaver sent the army to Idris in revenge for their God King's death.[2]
From here down needs work; might add a section above/rewrite some after more research
Aftermath
The rebellion is thwarted by Lightsong when he heals Susebron of his missing tongue with divine Breath,[19] which allows Susebron to use Peacegiver's Treasure, the fifty thousand Breaths. With the incredible awakening force, Susebron quells the rebels' attack on the palace with a storm of awakened cloths.[23]
Kalad's Phantoms are activated by Susebron with the command phrase given by Vasher. They storm after the Lifeless army marching on Idris,[24] and upon reaching them, destroy the whole force with ease.[25]
If the war had been allowed to occur, Yesteel would have supported the Idrians with Awakened Shardblades that would have tipped the scales in favor of Idris and its allies, resulting in the destruction of T'Telir and throwing the region into chaos.[26]
