The Mror Holds Campaign

Military action

Regent Moranna decried “the dwarven conspiracy” and turned her ire against the Mror Holds. With a core of elite commanders and troops, and a substantial number of tireless undead, the attack might have worked, if Karrnath had kept some element of surprise.

By late 991^YK, Karrnath's treasury had run dry and, wary of wild expenditures such as payments to Lhazaar, House Kundarak refused to extend further lines of credit. Furious at the news, Regent Moranna decried “the dwarven conspiracy” and turned her ire against the Mror Holds. The Third and Fourth Atur Legions and a group of elite night raiders were ordered to seize several of the largest clan holdings by force. The most aggressive of her warlords volunteered their personal guards, and three actually marched with the troops.   With a core of elite commanders and troops, and a substantial number of tireless undead, the attack might have worked, if Karrnath had kept some element of surprise. Moranna incautiously trumpeted her suspicions and plans, however, allowing the dwarves to prepare well. By the end of the year, a good portion of the undead horde had been destroyed, and the human troops were out of supplies. Very little of the Mror invasion force, and a mere handful of the warlords, returned home.
