First War for Saknath
War between Ulkon and Water Suons from Saknath.
The Ulkon wanted to take the technology of the suons for themselves and enslave their people. They forged a casus beilli which (incorrectly) stated the war was over much needed land to manage their population density better. However, they had no idea that the surface was the bottom of an ocean.
Despite the large Ulkon numbers, the suons could use the terrain to their advantage very well, being able to survive indefinately under the crushing pressure of the ocean.
The Water Suons defnded their underwater cities very well, but attack was difficult due to the superior numbers of the enemy. The war ended in a stalemate where neither side made any real progress.
The Conflict
Outcome
Both sides suffer heavy casulties.
The Ulkon kidnaps several suons from their families, bringing them underground as slaves.
Aftermath
The water suons of the Saknath area eventually realise that some of their people were kidnapped. Horrified by this truth, they demanded the Ulkon to return them. They refused, and by this point the Ulkon way of life became the norm to many suons living deep underground. The Saknathians covertly returned many to their rightful homes, but not all, as the original people that were taken have since reproduced and now ther eis a more significant population.
