It broke out after coordinated attacks on Imperial barracks by Darnussians armed with KFA-supplied weaponry on 14 March 3182. 4,000 Narikatonites were estimated to have died in these attacks, as throughout the next few weeks, the entire population of the south of Kozaria rose up in rebellion.

It broke out after coordinated attacks on Imperial barracks by Darnussians armed with KFA-supplied weaponry on 14 March 3182. 4,000 Narikatonites were estimated to have died in these attacks, as throughout the next few weeks, the entire population of the south of Kozaria rose up in rebellion. This forced the Imperial command to divert even more troops away from the frontline to try and subdue it; however, unlike all the previous times, this time the revolt could not be crushed. By the time any major Narikatonite response could be arranged, there were simply too many armed Darnussians on the streets. The first Imperial instinct was to protect Doressa from Darnussian attacks, or indeed a Darnussian revolt in the city itself. Narikatonite attempts were made to stem the revolution in the south, but the more troops pumped into the area, the less were on the frontline dealing with the central rebels. Eventually, Imperial command decided the safest thing to do was to place the main focus on the central rebels. This proved to be a grave mistake, as within two weeks of the initial uprising in the south, half the Cerrot River was in Darnussian hands. When the Imperial government was realised all was lost in the south, they decided the best option was to prevent the link up of the two main rebellions, as well as prevent the capturing of the Red River by Darnussian forces. As a result, Imperial forces were moved from the North in Alkavon, south into Kozaria, however by 1 April 3182, most of the south was in Darnussian hands, with the Imperials now holding off Darnussian attacks on Doressa. It was the Southern Revolt that proved particularly bloody for the Imperial forces, who lost a massive 45,000 dead trying to stem the rebellion. However, what was to prove worse occurred a year later at the Red River.
