Conquest Of The Elven Realm Vaenion

This sparked the nearly 300 year conflict known as the Elf War. His son Theobald I. "Der Unterdrücker caused an outright rebellion by escalating the tense relations between the conqueror and the conquered.Illithor va Vaenyrael's Rebellion
During the long rebellion armies of the both house Folly and their vassals annihilated more than 15 elven noble families in battles and raids. Until Theobald III. "Der Gebrochene" ended the rebellion by capturing and executing Illithor va Vaenyrael.Assassination Of Eldrin va Vaenyrael
Holy Emperor Heinrich II. "der Tyrann" plotted to kill Eldrin va Vaenyrael to stop the elves effort to improve the standing of elves in the empire. Since Theobald III. "Der Gebrochene"'s dead was kept a secret, Theobald III. was blamed for the killing of the emissary.Elven Progenomes
Under Heinrich III. "Der Gute" house folly and its vassals attacked the elven fiefdoms in an attempt to expropriate them as well as systematically killing them to prevent elves who have a far longer lifespan than humas to become to skilled in battle and thus dangerous to human hegemony in the region. The elf hunters of house Folly managed to eliminate all members of the elven royal family House Vaenyrael. His son Heinrich III. "Der Gute" ended the gruesome hunt of elves and other non-human species and established the Petty Kingdom of Vaenion as a vassal of house Folly.Schwabhausen Rebellion
After Karl Folly imprisoned Jockel Schwabhausen to prevent to much discord during the second Invasion of the north men, Jockels brother, Xander Schwabhausen attacked the Venecian Merchant Council which promted house Folly to enter the war on the defenders side. Although seen as the de jure leader in the Schwabhausen Rebellion, house Folly does not venture into the south to fight the rebels in fear of the north men marching on Aschstadt. That means that they play a more defensive role in the ongoing conflic.
