The War of Tusk and Horn

Revolution

The War of Tusk and Horn is the central conflict that shaped the world of Irminsul. The default time period of the setting takes place eighty years after the war, with the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the veterans dealing with a totally new world.

The War of Tusk and Horn was an almost twenty-year conflict. In reality it was a series of individual wars clustered together, only having been seen as a single entity until much later in the war, as well as after it. The conflict arose primarily due to the multi-millennia enslavement of the northerners. The oppressor nations are comprised of multiple human, elven, dwarven, and gnomish kingdoms, while the northerners are the now-unified forces of minotaur, orcs, and goblinoids.
