The Battle at Rhyn Dufaris

The Battle at Rhyn Dufaris was the final battle of the invasion and was desperate attempt by the surviving Free Dwarfs warriors to hold back the invading Abyssal Dwarfs forces. They hoped to hold the enemy back long enough for the clans survivors to escape to Abercarr across The Chainway. This battle would be known as the first time where the Free Dwarf clans had unified and fought together.

The evacuation efforts were slow as The Chainway couldnt transport too many at one time. Herneas and his rangers were the last to arrive and alerted the Free Dwarf defenders that the Abyssal Dwarf forces were coming. The remaining forces fought off the Abyssal Dwarfs, losing many during this last stand, eventually this would prove successful in buying enough time for the Free Dwarf survivors to escape.

Clans that took part in this included the Daamuz Clan, Egilax Clan, Helgwin Clan and Thistledew Clan

The combined Free Dwarf clans were enough to hold the Abyssal Dwarf forces back and the Free Dwarfs would destroy The Chainway behind them with the help of the Thistledew Clan. Baine Thistledew used his enchangted Greataxe and broke the chainings holding the Chainway, sinking it to the depths. This would stop the Abyssal Dwarfs advancing into Dwarfs lands however stranded the Free Dwarfs on Abercarr, ending the invasion.
