The Campaign against the Dwarves was the last, if minor, conflict of the Dragon War. Having vanquished the Dragon Riders, slain the Elvenking, and overthrown King Angrenost, the last remaining threat to Galbatorix was the dwarven realm. He had already destroyed much of Dûrgrimst Az Sweldn rak Anhûin, so he later moved against the remainder of the dwarves as he and the Forsworn fought to expand the Empire.
