3rd Zafarric War
The Sack of Yerir signified the end of the 3rd Zafarric War and with that the last of the Zafarric wars. In the sack, the city was plundered for 6 days and 40,000 civilians were killed. Even at the time, it was seen as excruciatingly bloody and barbaric. When Empress Khristina I heard of the act, she demanded that Alexander come to her and explain himself.
