The enslaved dogfolk rose three times under Old Jantara. Each rebellion was crushed completely.

The first was naive and disorganized. The second more violent, but betrayed. The third nearly succeeded—and taught the jackals the cost of mercy. Each failure resulted in worse treatment, harsher controls, and fewer illusions among the enslaved.

But the jackals made a critical error. They made submission worse than death.

Escape became preferable to obedience. Flight into the grasslands, into hunger and exposure, became a rational choice. The slaves learned routes, timings, weaknesses. Information spread in whispers and scars. Old habits from Old Jantara were carried by the escapees—but so was hard knowledge.

What followed was not a rebellion.

It was an uprising.
