The Rose Rebellion began after what the people of Vingaard called the Vingaard Sympathies. During this time Vinas Solamnus thought on Leprus's words, and finally came to a decision. Everything about the Empire was wrong, and he needed to do something against it. So Vinas declared that he would pick up the rebellion and most of his commanders agreed to join up with him in this.
When Vinas began his march on Daltigoth, all the soldiers he released came back to join up with his growing army. Vinas laid siege upon first Solanthus, which was termed the War of Ice Tears. The siege lasted about three years until the year 1796 PC and all during this time Vinas continued to feed the soldiers of the fort so they wouldn't die of starvation. When General Erghas finally challenged Vinas to a one on one duel, this was what Vinas's soldiers thought they could finally bring this siege to an end. During this, Erghas defeated Vinas through trickery, but this was unknown to Erghas. When he found out, he swore to join with Vinas on his march to Daltigoth.
By 1792 PC, Vinas had completely surrounded Daltigoth, starting the Siege of Daltigoth, by what his army was being called the Swordsheath Army. This army was comprised of Kender, Dwarves, Qualinesti Elves, Vingaardians, and Ergothians. During the siege, Vinas was captured by Phrygia and her undead zombies that controlled the city. He was sentenced to death, but in a daring venture, Vinas was saved by his friend and captured the city.
