Military action
After over two years of being besieged, the gates of Diara open for Sran and his warriors. The people of Deira or those who are left come out to the harsh mercy of a war troop that has been outside their walls for months on end. Few survive. In the end, Sran sits upon the throne on Diara with Iaghulth across his knees as the flesh is peeled from his half-brother's body over many nights.
