Green Horde - Empire of Dwarovar war

Often called the first war of Dali, the Green Horde's invasion shortly followed the opening of the Underdark and shook our society to its core.

Their numbers and savagery far outmatched ours. Even if we had far superior armor, it was only a matter of time before we made a mistake, and they had hundreds to strike us down when we did.
