The Scouring

Military action

The Scouring of Hammerock was ordered by Tyrannus Emelth'Jevrath as a direct result of The Prelude, the ruling was to serve multiple purposes. It abidied the harsh laws of draconic society as the dwarves stole a home from a dragon to would they remove their home which at the time was Khel Khulthur it was unknown to the dragons that the dwarves had finished their new underground city and moved their populace there leaving the halflings in charge of the city. The second point was to make an example of those that would dare to harm the dragons they felt they needed to show a position of strength to dissuade any others from harming them again. It also prevented individual dragons from banding together to take matters into their own hands and cause more damage in reckless pursuits of their own 'justice'   So it was that on the 7th of High Sun 3700 2A the dragons came to exact punishment on the city of Khel Khulthur and the Halflings bore the brunt of the punishment not meant for them.
