Dwarf War

The Dwarf War was a war between the Dwarf kingdom of Brena and the Human empire of Medland.

Near the beginning of the Second Glorious Era, the newly-restored emperor of Medland had several Dwarf envoys from Brena executed over a perceived slight from one of them. Knowing the dwarves had little navy and no effective way to respond from across the ocean, little more was thought about this, although over the years they would occaisonally receive (and ignore) demands for apology and restitution from Brena.

Over the next fifty years, the Dwarves developed a considerable navy, sailed a massive army to Medland, sacked and burned the capital, slaughtered the emperor (the grandson of the original offender) and his extended family, bringing an end to the line of Guldrex.

Most of the dwarves loaded their ships with loot and returned home, but some stayed and founded the short lived Dwarf Dynasty, which reigned over parts of Medland for the early years of the Age of Rats.
