The Revolt of the Dímítae

Revolution

The Dímítae led a revolt against the Abrethían kingdom.

The Dímítae tribe, once an Abrethían tribe, grew in power amongst the Abrethían kingdom, which had at this point controlled most of the whole of the human populace. As they rose the ranks, they saw how the other Abrethían tribes had not even attempted to reform to the Waesws. One fateful evening was when a young boy of the Dímítaes had entered into the castle hall and saw the Abrethían king making a speech to attempt to convince the people that he was a god. He spread the word of this to the others in the tribe who spread it to the Waesws tribes. Now enraged, they all decided to overthrow the new kingdom and set up a new one.   The war was bloody and it ended in failure. The revolt of the Dímítae was crushed, and humans were doomed to be forced to live with a king that believed himself to be a god. However, the war was so costly on the kingdom that it eventually fell. This set a precedent in human culture that Kings were gods, so to avoid this, after the kingdom fell, the surviving tribes of the Waesws rejected kingships and lived in a tribal and nomadic way. This way of life soon became the norm amongst humans for the early Forgotten era.
