In the year 1175, Sebastián received a summons that would rekindle the flames of his political destiny.

The Kazofort Rebellion, an epochal struggle for independence from Caphirian dominion, was spearheaded by a fiercely determined leader named Hernán de Kazofort.

Pasillas clearly inherited his grandfather's splendor and his desire for recognition beyond his borders. Internally, he tried to satisfy both his Caphiravian and Kosali subjects and was divided between his religious capital, Venceia, and his “little Venceia”, Albalitor. He also undertook the major project of raising the ramparts of his historic capital and extending it to the new northern district. | Pasillas clearly inherited his grandfather's splendor and his desire for recognition beyond his borders.
