The Uprising in Epityr was an event with significant effects on the history of Terisiare and Aerona, on the plane of Dominaria.

Description

After 40 years of being oppressed by the Sheoltun Occupation, the songmage Thabit of Almaaz was able to organize a successful rebellion against the Sheoltuns in Epityr. Thabit’s magical songs brought forth the Serra Angels, whose wings blotted out the sun during an entire day of fighting, and whose courage and skill in battle helped liberate Epityr that day. The uprising in Epityr signaled the end of Sheoltun’s occupation of eastern Terisiare. The empire had overreached itself, and it collapsed within a few hundred years. From its ashes, a new empire would be grown, equally militaristic and bent on expansion, but not ruled by tyranny and oppression - Benalia. For its part, Epityr became a holy site for the Church of Serra following the uprising, and a massive statue devoted to Serra herself would eventually be carved there.
