War of One-Hundred Kingdoms

The War of One-Hundred Kingdoms took place within a decade of the great Hallowing War. At this time, the land lay ravaged by the armies of the Unhallowed, and the Great Famine only over for a single season. Many of the human, elven, and dwarven kingdoms across Emmeron, as a result of these two cataclysms, were left in utter ruin. While many solemnly celebrated the end of the war and famine, a number of political factions, including advisors, lesser noblemen, past Kings of fallen kingdoms, and military leaders seeking additional power, all rushed to seize control of the now empty and scarred lands of the Continent.
