Military action
Cyre launched a deep-strike invasion of Karrnath aimed at the undead-producing crypts of Atur. Dodging around Deneith-protected Karrlakton, a large Cyran army conducted a furious assault that left the city in ruins.
Unwilling to get bogged down once again in Karrnath, the invaders quickly reversed their march and returned home. With a hastily gathered and vengeful army of Karrns at their heels, the troops crossed over Scions Sound and pulled back toward Metrol. Significant Karrnathi forces gathered in pursuit, and a sizable conflict began developing in northern Cyre. This left few regular soldiers to protect Metrol, the Cauldron, and the lands to the south.
