The Great Clan Wars

Military: War

The Great Clan Wars were a period of intense conflict between the various dwarven clans that lasted for over three centuries. The reasons for the war were varied and complex, but often centered around disputes over resources, territory, and power. Each clan was fiercely independent and had its own unique culture and traditions, which made it difficult for them to come to a peaceful resolution to their differences.

The war was fought across the entire dwarven realm, with each clan fielding armies of warriors, mages, and other specialists. The fighting was brutal and devastating, with entire cities and fortresses being destroyed and entire generations of dwarves losing their lives. Despite the staggering casualties, however, the clans refused to back down and the war raged on for centuries.

In the end, the war was brought to a close with the culmination of a ritual performed on the Great Celestial Alignment in the year 360. The exact details of the ritual are unknown, but it is said that it was performed by the greatest dwarven archmages of the time and that it had the power to bind each of the clans into unbreakable bonds of alliance. The Iron Alliance, as it came to be known, set out the terms and purviews that each clan must fulfill, effectively ending the Great Clan Wars and paving the way for a new era of peace and cooperation between the dwarves.
