    First Alrion-Westlumen wars
    Military action

    When the Elves of Alrion first returned to the world, the humans thought they were the gods, yet in the years following they learned the elven magic was not of divine origin. After a series of unfortunate events of which only myths remain, the Westlumen king declares war on those 'devilish creatures'. This continues for a few generations, until a king a few generations down the line falls in love with an elven woman. Though he doesn't marry her, he finally ends the century old devil hunt.

    Second Alrion-Westlumen wars
    Military action

    After a period of relative peace, a dispute arises between Alrion and Westlumen over the land. Both nations are rising in power and population and borders grow slowly towards each other. It is said that the first war of this era began because of a single pig. The pig was running around loose and crossed from Westlumen to Alrion. To get back the pig (and maybe also to get the lands that the pig ran into), Westlumen invaded Alrion. In these wars, the population of both nations greatly diminished yet the elves were unable to replenish their troops quickly. So in the end they signed defeat as the human border approached the capital E'neneas. Only a tiny fraction of Alrion was left, west of the river Strövomn.
