Feather and Starlight Rebellion

The Feather and Starlight Rebellion was an uprising of the repressed tengu residents of the nation of Kwanlai. For centuries, the empire of Imperial Lung Wa had ruled Kwanlai using it as a dumping ground for its tengu citizens whom it thought of as 'undesirables'. Underdeveloped and overexploited, many of Kwanlai's cities had become little more than overgrown slums breeding poverty and hopelessness. In 4606 AR, the tengu of Kwanlai rose up in rebellion, led by followers of the gods Desna and Hei Feng, and succeeded in capturing Lord Som Heu Wa, the Lung Wa-appointed ruler of Kwanlai, and forced his abdication. The Feather and Starlight Rebellion was a success and Imperial Lung Wa collapsed later the same year, saving the Kwanlai from the violent retribution that it surely would have faced for such an act of rebellion. Members of the Sunderstorm Covenant were particularly important to the uprising, using channelled lightning to help ensure Kwanlai's liberation.
