Event
Crusade of Miraak Var Trask
The Crusade of Miraak Var Trask was the campaign of Miraak Var Trask, a fearsome hobgoblin chief who united countless clans in a relentless drive across the Eastern Provinces of The Empire.1
Its turning point was the Battle for the Lion’s Teeth. In the Valley of Lion’s Teeth, a hundred legionaries under Gustavius held a goblinoid horde of twelve thousand for four hours, until the full might of The Legion arrived and destroyed it. After this costly defeat the crusade withered and failed. The legendary victory won during the crusade engraved Gustavius's name in the military history of the Empire.1
