Stuck between the Elves to the South and the Gnomes to the North, the Human king decided that a war with the elves was acceptable. As such they readied their war, and both sides summoned their allies. And so a hard-fought war ranged for many years, on one side: "The Kingdom of Men" and the "United Hill Clans", on the other "The Tribes of the West" and the "Voices of the Woods". Eventually, the humans managed to secure minor gains on the other side of the river, after which a truce was called which holds until today: "the Truce of Hearhtland".
