The Cantwell Uprising (Dwarven: Kazak Kantwel Thrummare) is a small scale rebellion by the Barony of Blackreach against the Duchy of Riviä. The war spans from the year 1670 to present day.

Prelude

The Barony of Blackreach was handed to Sarah Thomson after the disappearance, and possible execution, of Brandon McCarthy, the previous Baron of Blackreach. Once in power Sarah Thomson created the Order of Nightfall, which was the Barony’s guard force, soon after its creation some of the soldiers were taken captive by Ser Jacob Bolivar and Prince Demetrio of Santegia. Sarah and her second in command, William Jameson, went to the place where her soldiers were held and asked peacefully for them to be returned safely to her, Jacob Bolivar and the prince denied this offer and attacked Sarah and William, tied them up and took their belongings. It was this, and other accounts of mistreatment from the Kingdom of Santegia and the mass executions of the Cantwells by Renatus which lead Sarah Thomson to declare independence from the Duchy of Rivia.
