The Pruvid-Brachlov War

The Pruvid-Brachlov War was the first and most savage conflict between the Pruvids and the Brachlov. Driven by jealousy of the Brachlov's prosperity and association with Vach, the Pruvids, a long time rival, laid siege to the Brachlov settlement. Despite a lack of preparedness, the Brachlov's were able to repel the initial raids and attacks by the Pruvids, but concern grew among them that they would not be able to sustain doing so. During these intial attacks a brave female fighter, Farli Chlov, earned a place among the leaders of the Brachlov defense. This conflict is well documented in the derivative works of Vacamil Chekoy

The Conflict

The Engagement

Under Farli's leadership, one of the strategies successfully employed by the Brachlov was to avoid cutting off Pruvid supply lines, thus enabling them to raid Pruvid supplies to supplement their own foodstuffs and defenses with equipment. Other strategies employed in the Brachlov defense were the use of booby traps, a focus on injuring raiding troops instead of outright killing them, and avoiding taking prisoners. This requried the Pruvid's to spend significant resources to recover and care for the injured and freeing scarce Brachlov resources.

Historical Significance

Legacy

The Pruvid's never regained their strength of membership nor perpetuation of their culture, dying out within 10 years of the end of war. The Brachlov left them to their own demise, refusing to accept the declining Pruvid civilization a place among them.

In Literature

The conflict is purported to be mentioned in In Search of Vach by Vacamil Chekoy and his further research and teachings throughout his career.
