View source for Daybreak, Hagiv

== Summary ==

Founded in 16 DB, Daybreak was one of the first human settlements on [[Hagiv]] following the [[Demonbreaker War]]. Built at the foot of [[Kistestvere Mountain]] and adjacent to [[Kovar Remeny]], it grew to become a vibrant mining town in post-[[Cataclysm]] Hagiv.

In 37 DB, the [[Deep Delver Dwarves]] start attacking Daybreak's miners in the caves under the mountain. Shortly thereafter, they come pouring out of the mountain and attack Daybreak. This leads to the [[Deep Delver War]], which lasts about two years.

During the Thalassan Era, Daybreak thrived, expanded, and became wealthy. It lost a lot of prestige in the 480s and 490s when its populace largely sided with [[Thalassa]] in the [[Hagivi War for Independence]]. Heavy strictures and forfeits were placed on the city's populace by the victors. Largely as a result, Daybreak sided heavily with the [[Glorious People's Revolutionary Army]] during the next war.

After the war was won, Daybreak regained much of its previous prestige and looked likely to dominate the new [[Revolutionary Council of Hagiv|Revolutionary Council]] with strong representation from both the human and dwarven sides. To avoid this, [[Bertok Vass]] led a series of show trials against the city leader and, when they started to go poorly for him, staged a false flag attack on revolutionary forces garrisoned there, then used it as a pretext to invade the city, seize its wealth, and scatter its citizens in 519 DB.

Again, many of its citizens fled to the safety of the mines where the [[Inland Rebellion of Hagiv|Inland Rebellion]] was hatched. They eventually joined forces with the [[Elven Liberation Front of Hagiv|Elven Liberation Front]], which brought the [[Spider Druids]] who wrapped the now largely empty city of Daybreak in a thick web meant to slow attack without being a direct challenge to the Hagivi forces.
