War of Independence and Unification - Drasia Dynasty

In 5874 the war started with multiple synchronised surprise attacks right across Muin-Ru, as the various Dwarvern Kingdoms that lived below the surface. The surprise nature of the attack meant that meant that the Dwarves were able to take key strategic locations from the start, which hindered the organisation of the Gnomes defence. After the first few months of success Muin-Ru was able to organise itself which had been badly slowed by the Dwarven gorilla tactics but, the superior technology meant that they started to gain the upper-hand. The Dwarven Kingdoms officially united and became the Drazia Dynasty they then appointed Thorfin Gilmar as the general of their combined military forces, one of the first things he did was to conscript even those who were unable to fight and put them to work digging tunnels, along with increasing numbers of his army, pulling them away from the front lines. This meant that the Dwarven forces began to retreat more often and begin using bluff tactics to hold off on conflicts, the Muin-Ru leadership believed that they were winning and began increasing the pressure on what they thought was a wounded and losing army but this was actually one of Thorfin's greatest successes he managed to lure the bulk of the Muin-Ru forces to the planes on Nantona, they had far more troops and it looked like this was the last of the Dynasties armies, as the army advanced vast areas of the plane fell into the ground killing and injuring most of the Muin-Ru forces the rest where moped up by the dwarven forces above and below the ground. The war swung back in the favour of dynasty, even though this tactic had limited effectiveness in subsequent battles the fear of it was used to the dwarfs advantage. Depending on who you ask the other famous time this tactic was used is either the greatest military success ever achieved or the worst war crime ever committed, Thorfin set his mining crew to work at Stormlight, the Capital city of Muin-Ru. After months of defeats and losses the surface dwellers spirits were weakened but not broken they continued to fight back and rebuild their weaponry, until their capital city collapsed into a pit, killing thousands, destroying the factories and proving that any surface city could be next. Within a week the Muin-Ru had surrendered and gave up their claim to the land above the Kingdoms of the Drazia Dynasty, displacing approximately 30 thousand Gnomish refugees across Tanalier. Only the city of Jel'hep continued to resist, installing thousands of floating crystals below the City streets until eventually they were able to achieve flight, they raised the city off the ground and began to use their aerial superiority to week havoc across the surface, but this had limited effectiveness due to the fact that once the Gomes were evicted the Dwarves had little interest in the surface. So eventually the city of Jel'hep and The Dynasty made peace, and the city headed east, but they consider it to be a resounding defeat.
