A co-operation between troper D Omen (story writer) and his fellow SpikeAlex (artist), Night Of The Uprising tells the story of Jake Vangram (pictured), a 17-years old commoner who lives peacefully in Seir, castle town of the Kingdom of Theral. That is, until the test of an experimental Magic Cannon built in the castle as a show of force to the rival Kingdom of Krestis goes horribly wrong and ends up destroying a large part of the town... Including Jake's house, killing both his parents and a significant chunk of the population.
