The Mountain Wars erupt again this day, pitting dwarf against dwarf in their endless civil war over the splintered dwarven kingdom. No longer caring about any other politics within the Basin, the dwarves of Rockholm declare themselves free and no longer under the sphere of influence of the Free Collective of Serenwilde, and the dwarves of Southgard declare themselves free and no longer under the sphere of influence of the Free Territories of Gaudiguch.

Meanwhile, the undead masters of Angkrag have forsaken the Grand Dominion of Magnagora in order to focus their attention upon taking advantage of the dwarves during this time of upheaval and chaos.

Deep below the Basin of Life, the war to contain the illithoid reaches a peak in violence, causing the Ptoma Hive to cast off associations with the Free Collective of Serenwilde in order to lend assistance to the Kephera Empire. Joining the fray in hopes of freeing their kin, the Overmind of Ixthiaxa cuts ties with the Free Collective of Glomdoring.

The Village of Rockholm has called down a temporary spell of peace to protect its borders, declaring that, in honor of Eroee, it does not wish war within its borders.

The Village of Southgard has called down a temporary spell of peace to protect its borders, declaring that, in honor of Eroee, it does not wish war within its borders.
