Great War

A great conflict between the two races of Elf and Dragonborn.

The Conflict

Prelude

Ruler created Elves and the Feywild, guiding Elves to create idyllic kingdoms in hope of spreading their prosperity into the world he saw as chaotic, unpredictable, and needing strong leadership. When Ruler decided they were ready, they created a portal to the northern part of Belahir, which was uninhabited, but was claimed by Belahir. This angered them, and as soon as they find out about the new cities, which are created in days, they attack. The Elves decide that this sort of, to them, unprovoked attack marked the kingdom as hopeless degenerates and attacks, utilizing their blessing from Geltham.
