History
There was an insect plague one year that nearly desolated the plains completely.
what are now plains were once young forests planted by the centaurs.
a plague of larvae devoured all the trees and plants of these forests.
once these larvae developed into full grown insects, their tastes changed from fern to flesh and the began devouring the people of the plains.
in desperation they fled the the mountain keeps of the dwarves.
the dwarves however refused to open their gates to them and they were devoured on their doorstep.
mounds of bones were all that was left after the swarm had finished.
the swarm then left Esparea for unknown reasons and was sever seen before or since this event.
The collective kingdoms of Ashvitar, Oosugon, Isteeria, and Abinland joined their armies to storm the gates and remove the dwarves from their strongholds.
intending to claim them as sanctuaries for the respective kingdoms should another disaster arise.
The dwarven technology greatly outstripped that of the collective kingdoms and they were able to hold off the kingdoms indefinitely.
dropping boulders, spilling magma, shaking the very earth itself until rifts appeared and swallowed the attackers.
It was only thanks to a dryad from Oosugon who infiltrated the mountains by sending her roots through the glacial slashes until she found an entrance.
it was through her pleas on behalf of Esparea herself that the dwarves agreed to relent and agreed to join the synod.
as a symbol of this agreement the dryad turned herself into a silver tree with Large ruby pomegranates. These trees can still be seen in Knurlanheim to this day and are considered sacred to them.
