The Khel Doran Standoff Military Conflict in Orienta | World Anvil

The Khel Doran Standoff

The Khel Doran Standoff is the term used to describe Holzreich's blockade of the Ancient Dwarven Kingdom of Khel Doran in 185 IE.

The Conflict

Prelude

After Khel Doran ceased the export of military equipment to Holzreich due to the Holzen-Dwarven Trade Dispute of 185 IE, Holzreich dispatched a large force of Reichguard to Khel Doran.

Outcome

The Khel Doran standoff slowed the Reichguard's ability to respond to the Novayan Siege of Grunga and ultimatly led to the City's fall.

Aftermath

The Dwarves of Khel Doran recognised the threat Holzreich posed to the survival of their Kingdom and resumed the export of military equipment.
