This war begun with the Third Battle of Sacred Pool followed by the invasion of the Duchy of Mor'Koc by the Kingdom of Tir and ended with following the Siege of Mor'Koc with the counter-invasion and destruction of the Kingdom. This conflict involved every nation east of the Western Isles in some regard, and is the bloodiest conflict in Orth's history in terms of sheer numbers of dead and amount of overall destruction.
The sacrifices the Empire endured are remembered in memorials such as National Imperial Wars Memorial Square.
Belligerents:
The Meritocratic Republic of the United People of the Pools |
The Yeti Republic and the Kingdom of the Fae tried to remain neutral in the conflict, but both were annexed by the Empire. Manzil became involved towards the end as an opportunistic third party, annexing multiple largely undefended areas of the Empire's eastern edge including the Dwarven Mountains. The New Republic of Bēti also remained as a third party, selling weapons and equipment to both sides, which was a direct driving factor in their current status as Orth's second largest economy. Only The Halfling Shires and The Beastfolk Heartlands remained entirely neutral throughout the whole conflict, although on one famous occasion Troll forces did briefly and unintentionally enter Halfling lands.
