Seered Mountain War

The Seered Mountain War, as it was later dubbed, began with a Halglaran assault on the Elven city of Senaera, capital of Seneron, which was considered the last great kingdom of the Plains Elves. King Garronin had expected an easy victory but the city held out for months and soon had aid from the surrounding Elven kingdoms, something Garronin had never expected, believing the Elves of the East to be spent, due to the consatnt battering of war and the flight of many to the Western Lands. This, however, was not the case and the army of Haeglar was forced back into its own lands, with the great city of Seneara gleaming tantalizningly before them. Most kings would have given up then and went back home but Garronin was not such a man. He now knew that Senaera would not fall while it yet had allies so Garronnin shifted his armies into Attarok and from there assaulted the city of Digared. The Siege of Digared was lifted by a host from Hajirron, which in turn led to the attack on, and eventual defeat of that kingdom.

The war that followed was a long and bloody one, of a magnitude that would not be again seen until the Fourth Goblin War four centuries later. Hajirron had fallen by 1360 but any real offensive in the Seered Mountains was prevented by attacks from Gascony, which claimed Garonnin's focus for the next several years. By 1364, Halglaran forces were back in motion and Digared, center of the Seered Mountain Elves, was captured. Garonnin had hoped that his victory there would force the Mountain Elves to surrender but they continued fighting until 1367, when they retreated to Mosmurin, allowing Garronin to turn back to Seneron. The frontier of the domain fell quickly as a hasty defense was built up around the city, but Seneron was ready to fall, spared only by a harsh winter of 1368-69, which kept Garonnin from the city until spring. A valiant effort from the Elven garrison drew the siege out for five months but by late summer the gates were broken into and the city surrendered, and with it fell the last hope of the Elves of the East.
