War for Girvadem'jarmor

The War for Girvadem'jarmor, also known as the Valgothian Revolution, was a short campaign by Khat'tihil Hasan against Pact-Devil Hanth'ik Vylig and Escalot t'Kosm Vrihujn to liberate the city of Girvadem'jarmor.

State of the City
The Dead City, Girvadem'jarmor, was an immense city sprawling across two plateaus connected by bridges. Since the Falling much of the city had been deserted. However the remnants of Valgothia was forced even tighter into the city by Hanth'ik Vylig. The Pact-Devil marched in with his Escalot and forced the borders of Valgothia to a few districts on a single plateau. Valgothia was kept prisoner by the Pact-Devil in a bid to syphon off the population into the Escalot. Needless to say, it didn't work.

Many of the Vaergonians within the Escalot, despite the Shadow Cult, were very unhappy with the position they forced the ancient empire into. As a result they were positioned far away from Valgothia itself. Many being perimeter guards on the other plateau, where Vylig's headquarters were located.

Hasan Ascends to the Throne
Khat'tihil Hasan, unlike his father before him, wasn't interested in placating the Pact-Devil and his inferior numbers. Hasan immediately began working to militarize his 2.4 million population, beginning the clandestine production of arms and armor, secretly drilling his new army inside the largest buildings he can find. A vast network of magical explosives were deployed in strategic chokepoints throughout the city, and drew up a slew of plans for capturing the bridges that connected the two halves of the city. On the eve of revolution, he sent his best general, Von'aur Tsul, to cross the bridges and convince the Vaergonian troops in the t'Kosm Vrihujn Escalot to defect and join the Valgothian Empire. Whether or not Tsul would be successful wouldn't change the decision, Valgothia was going to war.

The Revolution Begins
In the morning, several Zharghyles are assassinated in rapid succession, cutting Vylig off from his troops across the bridges and effectively defanging the Zharghouls, which are butchered without the magical protections and military discipline garnered by the Zharghyles. Valgothian forces quickly secure their half of the city, and the next step is to cross over and defeat Vylig.

Tsul had managed to reach the other side and convened with the senior Vaergonian officer in the Escalot, Mad'ssig Holg. Tsul convinced Holg easily to defect, and the Vaergonian troops prepared for their new orders. Holg was ordered to move to the bridge and protect the Zharghyles as they crossed, however Holg chased the constructs across the bridge, trapping them in the process. Within the next few days, many of the defensive explosives would be repurposed to detonate the bridge's base at the plateaus, sending the structure careening into the valley along with 34 Zharghyles and their hordes of Zharghouls. Vylig had lost the majority of his force in one day, with his remaining troops he attempted to escape the city. He failed and he
