Civil War in Zarahemla

Part of: Zarahemla’s Age of War

• Meanwhile, back in central Zarahemla, king–men insurgents begin rebelling against Pahoran and the freemen. 
• Pahoran is unable to curb the coup, and is forced to escape to the land of Gideon with his supporters.
• Pahoran sends a distress message throughout the land as the insurgents take control of Zarahemla and form an alliance with the Lamanites.
• Pahoran receives a letter from Moroni in which Moroni (unaware of the political revolt in Zarahemla) reproves Pahoran harshly for not supporting the troops at war.
• Pahoran sends provisions to the troops in the field; he intends to send more once Zarahemla is regained.
• Pahoran sends a response to Moroni explaining himself and requesting help.
• Moroni returns from the eastern front
• Moroni and his troops storm Zarahemla, overthrow Pachus, the leader of the insurgents; the remainder are given fair trial, and those who refuse to change their allegiance are executed. 
• Pahoran resumes his tenure as chief judge without opposition, and Moroni sends additional troops and provisions to Helaman.
• Troops and supplies are sent to Helaman in cumeni
• Moroni goes back to the eastern front
