Juzimura rebellion

The Juzimura rebellion were the two revolts and subsequent slaughter of thousands of "radical" worshipers of Chantea and their displaced ronin by the government forces of Wa in Wa Year 1755 (1337 DR).

Second Rebellion
After Matasuuri Nagahide became shogun the previous year and instituted various xenophobic policies, he banned the worship of the oft-distrusted western goddess Chantea and declared his intention to eradicate every trace of the faith from the country. In response, in 1755, a coalition of followers of Chantea and a band of militant displaced ronin seized control of Juzimura Castle, north of Juzimura in Hotomori Province in the south of Tsukishima, brandishing their holy symbols in defiance.

The shogun sent his troops to purge the castle of its inhabitants and after a brief siege they slaughtered and executed thousands of the rebels. Moreover, they destroyed the castle and left it in ruins. This was believed to the final stand of the followers of Chantea and the cult was officially considered eradicated.

Subsequently, the shogun declared the worship of Chantea forbidden and punishable by execution and denounced the deity itself as illegal. The people of Juzimura avoided the ruins and no Chantea cultists were believed to be actively practicing their faith in the area, though they might be doing so secretly in other isolated parts of Wa.
