Bastille Crusades

The Crusades against the Gnollish tribes of Saqoueen were the first seeds of Conflict on a world scale. The 'war' began as an agressive expansion to claim as much of the Saqoueen Plains as the Bastion could, before the Tribal Gnolls were able to realize what was happening.
The Holy Bastile Empire had a steep technological advantage over the primitive gnolls with machines known as Chessmen. This allowed them to take large swaths of territories during the beginning of the war. They made it halfway across the plains to the Hrathbruum River, before the gnolls suddenly decided to strike back, with increasing difficulty.
The Gnolls were getting weapons that they did not have at the start of the war, and with the discovery of Isarian agents within the Tribal Capitals, the Bastion lost most ground it took over a couple of years before setting up a Final Stand at the newly constructed Golden Citadel. The siege took a few days before they were eventually pushed back to their frontier citadels, and at this point, The Sasslisian Imperium was actively threatening the fledgling new Empire as they were getting to close to the Kharis Jungle, despite being nowhere near the Imperial jungles.
They had Lost the Golden Citadel to the United Tribes, whom later renamed the building Tombekk Forum; where the Ceasefire and Peace treaty were ultimately signed.
To this day, the two nations respect each others borders, however there is still racial tension on both sides. Some view it as classic Human vs Beastmen racist behavior on both sides, as some thing its just a wounded ego from a highly Religious nation.
