Miners from Dam Tarihr accidentally tunnel into a temple in the city of Shadaris, causing it to collapse. The miners are then almost immediately linched by an angry mob, despite requests of their Matron Mother to only capture them for a trial. As retaliation, the Kingdom of Dam Tarihr mobilizes 2 of its mechanicas and send them towards the city who meet heavy resistance as soon as they arrive at the city's gates. Shadaris is then completely destroyed in a short skirmish lasting under 5 hours.
We all just half stood, half floated there in front of these four, gargantuan creatures. If these were the gods, than may the wheel itself have mercy on us. Decay is the only word I can use to aptly describe what I saw, and even that, will not suffice. They are bounded and shackled like the lowest of slave to the wheel itself. Impaled and wounded, these creatures suffer perhaps the slowest, most gruesome death I have ever witnessed. I now know I am not alone in my feelings. There are other, much more terrible things out there. We sensed them, felt them and they felt us. Our Queen came to collect her dues, at first I wished her to take me too, then I didn't, then I was afraid, so afraid. The kettle was whistling when I got back to the break room.
