→Toor's campaign against Commonground
While normally a slave or a serf uprising would not be considered too alarming, the unexpected destruction of Hohned dealt a serious blow to the stability of Toor: in the previous decade [[King Tōrmoh]] barely managed to hold the country together. His control of Laeooy Coast was one of the factors that helped him placate Gaskal and Deeras, powerful polities of their own that have multiple times considered seceding. This new development required an immediate response, especially given Keetoh's proclamations of the area as the new polity, Commonground. Additionaly, the King was already old and, given his son's death, the court was worried about finding a suitable successor.

King Tormoh installed [[Lord Oroat]] as [[tarnarian_military_ranks|Jeenor]], head of the army, and provided him with a 40,000-strong force, while deploying 20,000 men between Hohned and Chusoh.

Instead of confronting rebels from the direction of Hohned, Lord Oroat had the army go around the area and attack Commonground from the west, quickly reclaiming less defended territories. These early victories were important for King Tormoh, who immediately informed Gaskal and Deeras that the situation was under control.
