Humans-Druid war

Military action

The colonization of the Enverdoon region by those members of the human tribes least interested in warring left the horde in the hands of people thirsting for conquest and glory, two concepts they had learnt from the dwarves and towards which they were naturally inclined. Drifting away from the mountains the climate of which they were not suited for, the human tribes invaded the regions claimed by the Circle of Druids and started a conflict with them.
The experience of the druidic tribe helped them hold the wave of humans for a while, but the sheer number of people the invaders could field and their superior military technology eventually overrun the defenders.

This war has a lot of place in humans' mythology and culture, even if the actual facts were tweaked by the victorious race to make the conflict look more like the fight of a civilized nation against barbarian tribes inhabiting fertile, unused land.
While it is true that the local populations did not have cities as magnificent as the dwarven halls nor used animals for any sort of heavy work like the humans did, the human literature leaves out the fact that this was due to a choice in the lifestyle of the local tribes, not because of a lower level of civilization. In many human accounts, the Circle of Druids is depicted as a confused mass of orcs and other forest creatures with an aggressive and evil nature. This was not the case.     Nonetheless, the teaching of the dwarves had found fertile ground in the humans: their metal weapons were superior to the wooden and magical arts of the druids, their chariots and knights could rarely be stopped and their crossbows, easy to use and still very dangerous, were able to kill their enemies from a distance. Even their inclination to the arcane showed its power, with human spellcasters going toe to toe with their druidic counterpart.     At the end of the war the local tribes, defeated, accepted to become part of the newly founded kingdoms, but their assimilation success varied depending on the region.
