In 1072 AE, the dredge were under the thumb of the Stone Summit dwarves, who used them as slaves in the mines of Sorrow's Furnace. It remains unclear if the forces that joined the Molten Alliance were the old or the new moletariate, however. The revolution has only taken place in two places thus far: in Sorrow's Embrace and Groznev Delve, within Frostgorge Sound, though it is unclear if both are the same or separate revolutions.ĭespite the revolution, however, the moletariate began working with the Flame Legion as part of the Molten Alliance for access to fire magic, and assisted Scarlet Briar in the assault on Lion's Arch in 1326 AE. The revolution aims to free the workers and overthrow the moletariate as a whole to bring in a new leadership. One front at the heart of Sorrow's Embrace is led by Rasolov.
To this end, Minister Shukov, once considered honorable, took to Inquest methods and enslaved his own people, forcing them to work harder in the name of patriotism.Ĭountering this, a revolution has begun to take form circa 1325 AE. The military leaders claimed the Inquest the sole "good outsiders" and allied with them to gain control over the Destroyer of Worlds, intending to use it to wage war on the surface races. The dredge were, until recently, ruled by a dictatorship of the moletariate, but due to their involvement with the Inquest, a group of opportunistic young officers overthrew the old generals, including Koptev, Zadorojny, and War Minister Shukov, and installed a military dictatorship instead. They have recently become increasingly xenophobic, and the kodan, who have fled south from the Elder Dragon Jormag into dredge territory, view them as expansionist, and see their presence on the surface as an attempt to "pull an asura." Government
The dredge have, in the past, strived to remain independent, but were recently manipulated into cooperation with the Inquest. As such, the dredge can be considered to be in a state of permanent revolution. Little is known of dredge culture, only that they value highly the freedom of their race-a fact that is ironically used by their government to limit personal freedoms, and keep the dredge subservient, much like the dwarves did centuries ago.
