Battle of Snowpeak

Military action

A contingent of warriors affiliated with and hired by the Dharan Church marched on the nomadic frost elves and killed most of the species. The propaganda machine spun this as a victory as the frost elves were threatening eradication of man and a repeat of the Onyx Era. Years later, mostly thanks to a lone frost elf named Einar and the former Captain of the High Guard Nikolas Heartsting, the church's lies were exposed. It was a Dharan prophet who saw a frost elf bring down the entirety of the Church of Dhara. Their actions at what is now called the Genocide of Snowpeak led to the eventual destruction of the Church. Dhara is still worshipped but the militaristic powerhouse is no longer in control of Skygarde.   [In the beginning of time, elves ruled over man. They used the neanderthalic human as workers and labor. As millenia passed the humans began to become smarter and gained a sense of free will. In a time closer to today, the humans revolted against the elf overlords and sent them running to the ends of the realm. Humans then took over and enough time passed that the elves stayed hidden away and the humans populated Galfin. In current days, men were spread out as were the elves. Elves had come out of hiding and started to mix with the civilizations estalished. Things were looking up for the long hindered relationship between the two most populous races in Galfin. The Battle of Snowpeak changed this. As the fire elves came out from the mountains, as the wood elves came out of the forests, as the black sun elves empowered their way to comtrol of Dynastes, as the terra elves came out of their holes; Snowpeak happened. The frost elves were wiped out in a genocidal attack led by the Church of Dhara. The people of the religion were told that a prophey would be fulfilled and the frost elves would end destroy the world. People believed this but the soldiers that took part knew that that was not the case. The frost elves didn't even fight back, they were simple folk living in the snow, completely unprotected. Soldiers from all recruited races: man, giants, ogre and other took place in the battle. It was labelled the moment when man stepped too far. This event led all elves to be much more weary of the armies of man. It would take time for this fear to settle. Decades passed and the elves that alrready mixed with humans forgave them, some elves, such as the fire and wood elves became even more recluse, even to their elven bretheren. Yacobius Hrothgar and his comrades led the genocide. The 5 heroes of Snowpeak, greeted home with honors and medals were Sir Belaruus, Grergolf Oxsilk, Dru-Naz'Eet, Muggs and Yacobius Hrothgar. The Church of Dhara is the most widelt accepted relgion between the humans. Dhara was the messiah that led the men in their revolt of their elf overlords. Dhara died at the end of the revolution and ascended to godhood, becoming a martyr for man to continue controlling Galfin. With a militaristic way of living, passed down by the conventions of the great revolt, the Church started converting as many men as possible to their religion. There are currently amny provinces that the church has had such an impact on that they are considered mostly of the Dharan religion. They're are people who worship other gods but they are usually looked odd upon. The Great Plateau and Steelgale are the major provinces that are considered Dharan. The church declared war war on the frost elves because they were apparently the most violent and viotile of all the elves. After the Battle of Snowpeak, the other elves recieved the message that man was not to be trifled with.]
