Fiendish Times

"Demons! Everywhere I look, I see demons! What do we do?"

National Disaster
As the Kingdom of the Infernal Forge continued on it's journey to become the most productive society in the Material Plane, all was not well, for the sky turned against the Dwarvish race. Comets started raining down, harmless at first. But soon, countless demons were located in the mountains, which quickly started attacking villages around the Kingdom. And thus started the biggest National Disaster in living memory.

Casualties
After the dust settled and the demons completely eradicated, over two thousand Dwarfs (about 7% of the population at the time) were injured, and about one thousand Dwarfs (about 3.3% of the population) layed dead. The countryside was the heaviest affected, as the Azers of the Holy Guard clan guarded the cities masterfully.

Possible causes
The causes of the Fiendish Times are still unknown, but most Dwarfs suspect that Kara-Tur the Pretender had something to do with it, but this was never proven due to his sudden death.
