The Dawn War

Dawn War. The first great manifestation of Canker, which destroyed the elven civilization, and ravaged Cyfandir and beyond. Canker was not defeated, only repelled. Since then, guardian dvaergen watch the Netherworld to prevent its return.

The Dawn War did little damage to Kaan, thanks in part to the early intervention of the ancient Dalain’khümüs (the people of the sea) in Cyfandir. Thanks to the involvement of these brave navigators, merosi were included among the core peoples. Additionally, the vigilance of the Ündsenoin druids in the Septentrion was instrumental to this region’s protection. Finally, the sacrifice of the Netherworld stone giants, under the Kaan, did much to keep the threat at bay.
