The Acre Rebellion, also called the Farmer Uprising, is a large-scale civil war within the Kingdom of Oren. The war began when the Kingdom of Oren issued an edict known as the Resolution of Acre, which commanded the eviction of Acre's leadership and placed a bounty of 3,000 minae on Hannes and Gustaf de Vilain. After several skirmishes were waged between both sides, the Barony of Acre declared independence and its intentions to oust the current Orenian regency and the royal family.
