The First Kopen Uprising was a short-lived conflict that took place to the east of the city of Umudin, a trade city situated on the easternmost coast and peninsula of Flatstone. The First Kopen Uprising is a direct result of the creation of the Kopen religion, an authoritarian religion modeled off of Geologism, but with distinct beliefs and altered motives. The religion was founded by a self-declared prophet named Jonnas Moka of Southern Ivili descent, a man who had suffered throughout the entirety of his childhood due to harsh labor laws and repression. The religion claims that to be happy is to be normal and those who are not happy are not normal and thus must be exterminated. The religion models itself off of a false and forced reality where everybody claims to be happy and satisfied with the little that they have, and where any signs that might indicate otherwise can and will be fatal. Many living in the region flocked to Jonnas's side, seeing the religion as an escape from the oppression of the Stonish crown and the matters of everyday life. Jonnas hoped to secede from the Kingdom of Flatstone and construct his own happy paradise, however he struggled to win the hearts of the people and was inevitably defeated after a string of losses. Despite this, the idea lived on and the Kopen religion continued to plague this part of Flatstone for centuries, being responsible for five separate uprisings that took place over the course of Stonish history.
