The Gread War

E'los marches on

In the year 107, the great war started. People from the south started to get curious about what lay beyond the cities in the north and in the Twisted lands. There were stories of great mystery and grave terror. But that did not stop the proud king of the south lands the Great light lord of elven kind lord E’los. He thought he was chosen by the god Corellon Larethian (the god of the elves). He travelled across the lands and recruited elves to join his growing army. When he came to the City of sunrise he ask the kingdom for aid to strengthen his region. The people were not interested in his proposal he saw himself as a perfect image of being and was not able to see the beauty in others. Being proud as he was, lord E’los purged the city of its most beloved property. As lord E’los took it the city rebelled but all who fought him were killed by his overwhelming army.

Pushing for the north he came by the Old oak forest. In the Old oak forest, E’los was warned by the guardians of the forest to not tread in the Twisted lands and to return to his land. But E’los would not listen and continued to push through the forest. It took him 3 months and a third of his legion to get out of the forest. Most of them were taken by the forest to become the wood elves of today, swearing an oath to the woods to protect it and its inhabitants. As lord E’los walked out of the forest he was met with a new challenge a sea that blocked his way to the land of the twisted. He had no ships or means to make them and walking around it would take another 3 months. So he prayed to the gods for a solution, and for 5 days he preyed in the water. Until the gods answered with a sea turtle large enough to move his whole army across the sea. Landing him on the border of the Twisted lands, a border protected by the dwarves of the north and the halflings of the east. These lands were laid with hills and were unknown to the lord and his army but proudly he demanded passage. But non was given the halflings lit the bonfires of the north man, asking for reinforcements. And under the command of general Harios, the elven army got stuck in a pincer move and lost the battle after 3 weeks of fighting. But lord E’los was nowhere to be found. He had abandoned his army and snuck into the Twisted lands and no one saw him after that ever again. Some think that some magic item protected him and he is still dwelling in the Twisted lands. Some say he died and his treasure is deep in the Twisted lands. All we know is that after that the kingdoms of the dwarves, halflings and men won their battle, they realized that this could happen again so they started an empire under general Harios. He united the 3 kingdoms and even took in the elves who surrendered in the war. This land I now know as Durios The empire of Harios with the capital named Durios.

Second front

During the battle at the border of the Twisted lands. In the west, a man found himself on the shores of Slateton. His name was Engroff, a human whom no one knows where he came from but one fact is widely known in the lands and that he had 1 whole leg made of wood. It was carved like a real leg, made from the darkest grey wood of the land. It was dripping with blood from the presumed wound at his hip, slowly soaking his pants in red. He is known as the one that single handily concurred the south of Bourgon. And on the same night as he became lord of south Bourgon he cursed it with a curse of eternal darkness. Letting no light enter the lands, hart or souls of the ones that inhabit it.

Having lost half his kingdom the dwarfen king Grandus Bloodbrew. Was filled with rage and ordered from his capital mountain Duladam, an attack on Hamschau a city north of the Old oak forest. He knew it was filled with dwarfs so they must trust him he thought. But after his ships landed on the shores of Livormia they were spotted by a group of rangers scouting the area. Rushing back to Hamschau they told the queen what they found. The firbolg queen Astrid von Durguea. She gathered her army and faced the army of Grandus Bloodbrew. The battle was won by Astrid after a fight that lasted 2 years

Southguard

But the war was not done in the south a kingdom named Southguard wanted to expand as well so they sent an army to the lands in the deep south a swampy land that was unclaimed. After settling their first settlement they were visited by creatures new to them. These creatures were intelligent and had their own culture and religion. The southguardians that stayed on the island declared the land was not fit to colonize and only took the land the city needed to grow and prosper. The locals were okay with this and even engaged in trade. Now a day the city is called Zourthan and it is a daughter realm of the southguardians.

Reclaiming the city of sunrise

but in the north, they saw the weakened state of the City of sunrise and took their chance. They infiltrated the wounded city with an army of men and gnomes. With war machines, they just walked into the city and plundered. So the king sends, in secret, a messenger to help them and save them. 2 months go by and the city is taken by the humans and gnomes. The king by now had a plan and was waiting for his plan to begin. An army of beast people arrived and fought the south Guardians. When the fighting stopped it was almost nightfall. The king did not know what to do, he was happy the southguardians were gone he had a feast for the whole city men and beasts to celebrate the liberation of the city of the sunrise. And at sunrise, the beast men left the city and went back to Beldrin the city of beasts. This marked the end of the great war in the year 111.
