The slaves working in the mines and the the masters manor had been planning a rebellion for the past year and a half. They had amassed weapon and had also obtained detailed maps of the Godwin manor and their other properties.

As he was working, a fellow slave was walking towards a guard. He was five feet away from the guard when suddenly the ground began to shake. With the majority of the slaves having never experienced an earthquake, they immediately started to panic.

This lasted no more that the one minute but by then almost everyone was in a frenzied panic. This state of confusion and fear was a perfect cover for the the rebelling slave to begin their attack.
