Military action
Over the past decades people had been gradually leaving the lands of the Cinder District in favor of a life in the mountains among The Mistrals . But not everyone wanted to leave their home and as The Emberborn rule grasped down tighter, unrest grew. This eventually resulted in a war between local village militias and Emberborn controlled forces. This war brought the food production to almost a complete hold, leading to a widespread famine across all Emberborn lands.
