Despite their defeat, the Pahn Kahl were not content to remain subjugated. Approximately three hundred years after the defeat of the Pahn Unity, around the year 321,{{file ref|T-Telir.png|Map of T'Telir}} a Pahn Kahl man named Vahr began to foment rebellion among the Pahn Kahl dye workers{{book ref|wb|prologue}} and dissidents.{{book ref|wb|1}} He convinced many of them to give him their [[Breath]] and began to assemble an army.{{book ref|wb|1}} Little to Vahr's knowledge, a second group of Pahn Kahl, led by the God King [[Susebron]]'s steward, [[Haverseth]], were also independently plotting a rebellion.{{book ref|wb|54}} Haverseth, also known as Bluefingers, felt that Vahr's rebellion was drawing too much attention to the Pahn Kahl people.{{book ref|wb|1}} Bluefingers leaked information about Vahr into the [[Court of the Gods]] resulting in Vahr's capture and the end of his rebellion.{{annotation ref|wb|chapter=34}}
Bluefingers's own rebellion was far more subtle than Vahr's. As he did not have his own army,{{book ref|wb|54}} he instead conspired to instigate a war between Hallandren and Idris, hoping that in the fighting Pahn Kahl could declare independence and break away.{{book ref|wb|58}} Due to his high-level position as the God King's steward, Bluefingers was in the perfect position to manipulate events,{{annotation ref|wb|chapter=11}} and his actions were often overlooked or ignored because of his race.{{annotation ref|wb|chapter=11}}
Bluefingers sneaked Pahn Kahl Awakeners into the Court through tunnels{{annotation ref|wb|chapter=52}} to begin Breaking the [[Lifeless]] in Hallandren's armies.{{annotation ref|wb|chapter=38}} He later used these Lifeless, along with mercenaries and Pahn Kahl scribes disguised as priests to take control of the God King's palace and capture both the God King and his wife, [[Sisirinah]].{{book ref|wb|55}} He also gained control of the rest of Hallandren's forty thousand Lifeless soldiers by forcing the Returned gods [[Lightsong]] and [[Blushweaver]] to reveal their Commands.{{book ref|wb|53}} These Lifeless were then Commanded to march on Idris to start a new war.
