The Razing of Xyphon

Military action

The hasty decisions of the crusaders caused the conflict to spiral quickly out of control. In an act of panic and confusion, several squads set fire to the town. It became impossible to contain the situation, and the brothers gave the orders to leave none alive. Soon after the battle, the crusaders fled into the Tiberoan wilderness once more.

As the crusaders reinforced their allies in the town, the entire settlement seemed to be on high alert. Tiberoan guards were flanked by civilian and militia alike, and in the chaos several panicked squads of soldiers began setting fire to several of the town's major structures. While the crusaders worked tirelessly to contain the situation, the conflict quickly spiraled out of control. The entire town was put to the torch as Richelieu made the decision to leave none alive. Groups of Goblins and riders chased down any who tried to flee. Local reports of the event chalk the razing of the town up to the civil war, each faction blaming another, though it would not be long before the truth was discovered.   After the battle, the crusaders fled back to the Kedrinos Woods to winter deep within the safety of woodland. Frustrated by the army's decision to halt operations for the coming cold, the Bloodrock Goblins split from the group to further pillage the smaller settlements of western Tiberoa. There are no mentions of a Bloodrock tribe beyond this point, and their ultimate fate remains unknown.
