The Ebbing confederation insurrection was one of the many rebellions taking place in the countries conquered by Nilfgaard within the Northern Wars.[1]
History[]
The insurrectionary confederation firstly started in Ebbing in around 1265, but was quelled over a two-day siege. The remaining insurgents fled to Geso, where the rebellion extended to, and Maecht, where Duke Rudiger led his vassals and their troops against the invaders. Emhyr var Emreis, the Imperator of Nilfgaard sent the Pacifiers from the province of Gemmera to suppress the rebellion. It turned, however, into a massacre where thousands of rebels were killed and various cities and settlements pillaged and burned to the ground, Thurn among them.[1]
After Nilfgaard crushed the insurrectionary confederation, the forests were awash with deserters and fugitives, who quickly formed up into gangs. Some of these groups attacked convoys and transports, and then dwindled away in desperate escapes from the Nilfgaardian cavalry troops.[1]
