Brymium Conflict

Brymium is a very strange ore created by the people of Cznar. A couple of decades before the Spell Plague three wizards in Cznar got jealous of the wealth a profit Yershmier was making off of Zoiatine. Unfortunately the country had no access to Zoiatine of any kind, so this group of wizards set out to create their own artificial Zoiatine.
It took the group many years to develop a formula that would alter the make up of regular ores to be similar to Zoiatine. The group decided to release the formula in a large forest known as Hargrave Forest. The three wizards traveled into a mine in the forest and injected the formula into the stone in the mine. The formula altered the ore throughout the forest and changed it into Brymium.
Brymium was not exactly like Zoiatine but it had the same explosive properties, and it had strange cracks filled with blood red liquid that would change color to different shades of red. The wizards were very happy with the poduct that they had created and so they started mining it. Only a couple of years later the entire group was killed in a mining accident and Brymium harvesting came to a halt.
When the Spell Plague arrived and Cznar was captured by Obsidian everyone in the world magically lost all memories of Brymium. It took many years for people to rediscover Brymium. When it was discovered Brymium was believed to be a rare magical ore. 
Very quickly small conflicts burst out all across the Hargrave Forest, where people were fighting for control over the forest. The forest quickly gained the nickname the Red Fallows because soldiers would claim the ground in the forest was stained red with blood. These conflicts lasted so long that people forgot why they were fighting.
A few soldiers started a rumor about a magical artifact hidden within the forest known as the Heart of the Fallows. The Heart of the Fallows was said to be able to kill anyone it touched except for one chosen soldier. So of course everyone believed this and wanted to have control over the fake artifact. So the battles soon turned into an entire war to try and find the Heart of the Fallows.
The war was between two groups one known as the Hearts of the Fallows (people who were trying to find the Heart and use it for destruction and evil) and the Hargrave Protectors (a group of soldiers who were trying to stop the Hearts of the Fallows). 
The war lasted for many years and completely ravaged and destroyed the Fallows beyond any sort of repair. The ground was stained red, the water was poisoned, and all living plants and animals were either killed or burned. All of this was done to try and find an artifact that didn't even exist.
Years of this war and destruction plaguing the forest altered the landscape for ever. All of the deaths that occurred on the forest's ground caused the once beautiful forest to have the Shadowfell bleed into it. Now the Protectors and the Hearts weren't only fighting each other they were fighting hoards of the undead and shadow monsters.
The Protectors slowly realized that the Heart of the Fallows was a myth and the artifact never existed but the Hearts never stopped searching for the supposed artifact. So for a year and a half the Protectors defended themselves while building a fake temple for the Heart of the Fallows.
The Protectors wanted to end the war once and for all, so they set a trap. The Protectors hid 3,000 men beneath the temple and waited for 3 weeks for the Hearts to find the fake temple. After waiting for days the Hearts finally showed up and the Protectors ambushed them.
It didn't take long for the Protectors to eradicate the Hearts and end the war. After the war what was left of the Protectors created the small city of Makassar. They were determined not to protect the world from the Fallows and to not repeat history.
