In the 1154th year of Burn's Sleep Surly, the Imperial Regent, leader of the Claw, and soon to be Empress, created laws prohibiting the use of unsanctioned sorcery, for example that were used to locate schools of Coraval. Elements of the 3rd Army rendezvoused with recruits and were sent to enforce the Imperial Regent's edict. The riots that followed engulfed a quarter of the town in flames. The mage cadre that was sent in, all new and untested, lost control. Whiskeyjack sent Dujek and some sappers to control the fires.
