The period of war saw the creation of the warforged, the formation of the Jade Republic and culminated with the Pekkora Calamity.

The Pekkora Calamity
Disaster / DestructionFollowing the creation of the warforged by the Djakali Kingdom and their deployment to the Pekkora War, the Kindred Empire saw heavy losses and was in desperate need of something to fight back. This led to the creation of a massive spellbomb, fuelled by a team of Empire mages. Meant as a directed attack towards the Djakali forces, the spell went horribly wrong. The resulting explosion destroyed the majority of both nation's forces, as well as most of the inhabitants of Pekkora. The initial blast and subsequent fallout has rendered the island unihabitable to all but the most hardy of lifeforms.

Signing of the Pekkora Accords
Diplomatic actionFollowing the Pekkora Calamity, both the Kindred Empire and Djakali Kingdom retreated from Pekkora. Desperate to ensure nothing like this would happen again, the Jade Republic wrote the Accords and convinced the other two nations to sign. The Accords lay out the boundaries of each nation and those who signed agreed to cease all expansion beyond these confines.
