The East Aurean Revolt was a failed rebellion within the Gaullican Viceroyalty of the New Aurean that occurred primarily on Île d'Émeraude. Many historians argue the East Aurean Revolt to have been a sub-conflict of the Capois Rebellion, as it occurred simultaneously and was heavily influenced and inspired by it.

During the buildup and eventual outbreak of the Capois Rebellion, the rich white planter class of Île d'Émeraude and the wider East Arucian saw a potential opportunity to gain independence from Gaullica, gain control, and further free trade policies that served to enhance their wealth. After the failure of the Arucian Congress, which important East Aurean leaders Luc Devereux and Maxime Crevier - who were both wealthy planters - attended, the planter class began to pool their money to gether to raise their own rebel army of militiamen. Soon after, they would begin their own uprising in Île d'Émeraude that mirrored the one in Sainte-Chloé, managing to take the poorly defended Port-au-Grégoire and declared the East Aurean Commonwealth, which was self-described as "an independent state in free association with the Arucian Union". Full independence had been sought, but various domestic disputes led to the eventual doom of the EAC. The largest of these disputes was by far the status and enfranchisement of the non-white population; the reluctance of the planter class to offer the Bahian population in particular the franchise led to Detroit's Rebellion.
