“ 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 hired some of the Idrian population and garnered the financial support of some of Hallendren's economic competitors to raise an army.[6] 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.[7] Dedelin, king of Idris, was displeased to hear of Vahr's capture because he had hoped Hallendren would focus on the Pahn Kahl in lieu of Idris. It is due to Vahr's capture and Hallendren'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.[8]
Gestation
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 other digging projects.[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, which is the greatest obstacle to his rebellion.[9]
Manipulation of Siri and Vivenna
When Siri arrives in T'Telir to marry Susebron, Bluefingers strives to gain her trust at the expense of the Hallendren. He thinks her trust in the Hallendren 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.[7] This plan works to the extent that Siri asks him to get her and Susebron out of the palace should they become endangered.[10] 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 Hallendren priests.[11]
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.[12]
From here down needs work; might add a section above/rewrite some after more research
Final Attack
Bluefingers orders the capture and torture of Blushweaver and Lightsong, so that the rebels can get the Lifeless command phrases from them.[13] After they give the rebels the command phrases, the rebels order the forty thousand Lifeless troops of Hallandren to march on Idris.[2]
Bluefingers also captures the God King and Queen, planning to kill them on an altar to further enrage the people of both countries.[2]
Vasher attempts to break into the palace to stop Denth, but Denth and his mercenaries ambush and capture him. Vivenna soon comes to his rescue. Before he can go far, however, Vasher is confronted by a squad of fifty Lifeless. He is forced to draw Nightblood to defeat them, though doing so drains him of most of his Breaths. Having successfully manipulated Vasher into losing his Breath, Denth then challenges him to a duel.[14] Although he fights with divine strength and ancient skill, Vasher is no match for the peerless Denth. Just before Denth is about to kill him, Vasher transfers his few remaining Breaths to Denth, stunning him momentarily and providing Vasher an opening to kill Denth with his dagger.[15][16]
Aftermath
The rebellion is thwarted by Lightsong when he heals Susebron of his missing tongue with divine Breath,[15] 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.[17]
Kalad's Phantoms are activated by Susebron with the command phrase given by Vasher. They storm after the Lifeless army marching on Idris,[18] and upon reaching them, destroy the whole force with ease.[19]
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.[20]
