Battle of Hawk's Rest Keep

The Battle of Hawk's Rest Keep was a major battle in the 1847-1851 uprising in Selmina. In winter 1849-50 a Costaratan expedition was deployed from Canten to quell the growing rebellion in Selmina; Hawk's Rest Keep was its first real engagement. The total defeat of the Kanaeans there signaled the beginning of the end for their freedom and it was an uphill struggle after that. By the end of 1851 fighting had ceased and the Empire had full control in Selmina once again.
