The Curse Wars

Military: War

After power over the Crystal Peaks had been consolidated the Kingdom of Du'gar soon turned their sights on the forest south of the mountains. Although not many minerals could be mined from here, many of the trees and their crystal growths proved great for casting curses.

As the conflict in the Crystal Peaks subsided and the Kingdom of Du'gar consolidated its power it soon began to become hungry for more conflict. This warmongering got a target as it was found that the crystaline forest beneath their mountain range had many magical properties, chief among them the ability of its crystals to absorb and later release curses. At this time the forest was still without a name and many different races including some of the exiled dwarves had settled here.   The war here quickly turned very bloody as the Kingdom believed itself to have far superior might while the forest denizens fought back with traps made of curses. Soon the kingdom as well began using curses in the war and some bards stories tell that every living thing in the forest was cursed for a generation.   In the end the forest awakened as though the world trees had grown tired of the war and began cleansing the curses. Not wishing to anger the world tree further the Holy Order of Druids quickly began to act to stop the war by any means necessary. In the end no one had gained any significant ground with the kingdom only being able to keep marginal gains at the foot of their mountains and the rest of the forest effectively being demilitarized by the Holy Order of Druids.
