'''Uprising in Basistar''' was a revolt against the [[Darda|pro-Dardian]] government of Basistar, led by [[Molag Uusea]] in 1598-1599 SR. Started in the city of Mustief, the movement was able to take control of the city and forced Basistar to begin negotiations. The rebels, however, got sidetracked by indecision, choosing between a military operation against Basistar or a march towards [[Uuxea]]. Eventually deciding to march on Uuxea, they left Mustief, which was quickly reclaimed by Basistar. The rebel army never reached Uuxea and instead collapsed halfway, due in part to poor leadership and in part due to the hardships of the journey.

At some point General Leesar defied Molag's orders and turned back, with several hundred people joining her, while Molag continued north. Due to the swift spread of malas, Molag made the decision to turn back two days later and followed Leesar, assuming that her trail would lead them back to Mustief. Instead, they reached Leesar's encampment and learned that Leesar had made a mistake and they instead traveled farther to the west. Molag demanded to see Leesar, but she had left the encampment with a group of men and women, allegedely to search for an easier path back. In reality, Leesar decided to abandon the rebels and returned to Basistar with a close group of her supporters.

As the rebels stationed at the encampment, Molag suddenly got worse and passed away on the 23rd of May, 1599 SR. This was recorded by Nuy Bolfor, who along with a group of about 150 men was able to make it back to Mustief in July-August of the same year. He estimated that there were about 2,500 people in the encampment, which would suggest that around 5,000 people either died or got separated during the march. It is believed that scores of people have survived in the jungle well into the winter, but in the beginning of 1600 Leesar's camp was reported to have been uninhabited. There is reason to believe that some might have continued west and settled along the Tother river, since there was talk in the area about several families originally coming from the lands east of Tother. For decades travelers through the jungle stumbled upon abandoned rebel camps, some with skeletal remains.
