The Battle and Genocide of the Salomite tribe was one of only two Za'ahene  military operations in Abhainnia.
==Background==
Za'ah sent emissaries to all Houmite tribal nations in the Land of the Golden Grass. They are rejected and ignored by most of them, as the Houmites don't trust the strangers. The Za'ahene emissaries return unsuccessful to their ships.
Then, the Za'ahenes sent one giant diplomatic party to the tribe of Malum, giving them fine cloths, musical instruments, gold, silver and slave children playing flutes and running around naked. They came with spices and herbs and fine pottery and tools, including images, as an unrequitted gift from the Devayani.
In the nearby, northern tribe of Salom, the Za'ahenes also landed. But with troops armed with obsidian spears and composite bows.
==Battle==
The Salomites gathered with 3000 men of the local militia to fight the 800 Za'ahenes who landed on their beaches. The small Za'ahene force cut through the inexperienced and poorly equipped Salomite army, killing or wounding 1711 men, and losing only 19 men themselves.
==Genocide of the Salomite tribe==
The two Salomite settlements are surrounded and burnt. Following the regular troops come the Ya'zi, regiments consisting of men and women armed with whips, screws, nails and hammers, saws, torture instruments and similar. The regular troops gather the Salomite population in several areas, and then proceed to let loose the Ya'zi on them and the the surviving Salomites are genocided.
After this is done, the Malumite tribe is given the Salomite's land and get to learn that the same fate would have befallen them had it been for the different outcome of the roll of a dice.
