The Push From Gildebrag

The Push from Gildebrag, sometimes referred to colloquially as "The Push", is the event in Year 808, through which the dwarves of the Thundersummits were exiled from The Principality of Gildebrag.

History
There is a great deal of controversy surrounding this event, but the widely accepted history is that the dwarves were preparing a wide-scale rebellion against Gildebrag but were caught by the principality's spies. After the first of a series of attacks were launched, Gildebrag struck back with all its strength. They not only worked to defeat the dwarven forces, but then delved into the dwarfholds as well in order to root them out from their strongholds and homes.

Dwarves fled in every direction, running toward the shared borders with Orlas, The Empire of Keelor, and The Sarriahn Dynasty. All borders remained closed and tightly guarded due to increased tensions on the continent, however it was soon decreed by the Sarriahn Kingspair Thaulos Lymn and Dingain Goral.

Outcome
There was a great influx of wealth into Gildebrag at this time as Gildebrag's coffers swelled with the wealth of the dwarves. Gildebrag also significantly expanded its land holdings and continued to expand until it reached the sea on the east coast a mere twenty years later.

In Year 807 there were 39 dwarven clans. Thirteen of them were exterminated down to the last man, woman, and child. With 26 clans remaining, a number around half of the clans that existed just 300 years earlier, the dwarves sought to make an alliance and improve their ability to protect each other. The remaining exiled dwarves largely fled to The Sarriahn Dynasty. The Allied Clans was formed at the end of Year 808 and quickly expanded to include all of the exiled dwarven clans of the Southern Thundersummits.
