The Second Dawn (concept)
The Second Dawn refers to the great slave rebellion that erupted in Amsar at the end of the 4th century, fulfilling what the Amsari saw as the divine will of Zaoran and bringing about the destruction of the Ran Kemsari, an empire that once spanned much of northwestern Sarradon.
In secret, the Amsari gathered weapons and mastered the Magic of their oppressors. As foretold by The Prophet, they would rise from endless servitude in a great struggle.
Before the Kemsari could muster a proper response, the Amsari seized Wehydka'ha in what became known as the Battle of the Broken Chain and diverted the Heya River, the lifeblood of Kemsari civilization.
