Tabaristan uprising

Tabaristan uprising was a series of rebellions and battles of indigenous Zoroastrian population of Tabaristan against the Abbasid Caliphate, led by local Spahbeds which occurred between 784 and 804. A few years after Spahbed Khurshid's suicide and the annihilation of the Dabuyid dynasty, as dissatisfaction with the actions of the Abbasid caliphs grew, people turned to the Qarinvand dynasty Spahbed, Wandad Hurmuzd and asked him to lead their uprising. After deliberation with Spahbeds of other dynasties such as Baduspanids, Bavandids and Masmughans of Damavand, he accepted people's request. From then Sharwin I was like king of Tabaristan and Wandad was his warlord. On a predetermined day, they raised a great rebellion against the Abbasid caliphate, and the people of Tabaristan and Ruyan attacked the garrisons on this day and killed the Arab soldiers. Historians refer to this day as "the day when Tabaristan was emptied of Caliph's agents" and report that 20,000 people were killed.
