The '''Pogrom of the Caphirians''' also known as the '''Rakin Pogrom''' was a pogrom that took place in [[Daxia|Qian]] controlled [[Rakin]], [[Peratra]] in August of 1758.

Afterwards the mob began to burn Serentesi's manor and all other adjacent houses while also attacking other non-Daxians they came across; the violence escalated into a city-wide riot. | The '''Pogrom of the Caphirians''' also known as the '''Rakin Pogrom''' was a pogrom that took place in [[Daxia|Qian]] controlled [[Rakin]], [[Peratra]] in August of 1758.
