    Negotiations Between Drathia and Lunathrosians Begin
    Diplomatic action

    First Lycan sightings reported as Drathians begin to colonize and communicate with other locals, establishing the beginning of a partnership with the native Hare. They convert many with the promise of "advanced" assistance, particularly protection from the predatory Fangs of Malar. At the same time many other communities step forward with demands to control the Drathian's spread, primarily to protect the Lycans. Debate insues on the course forward, and negotiations are long. The tension rises.

    Negotiations continue as Drathia continues to spread across Windrun Plain, ingratiating themselves with many of the Hare settlements. Slowly, something shifts. Those sympathetic to Lycan or pro Lycan communities are phased out. Conversation slows. The decision is made: Lycanthropes cannot be trusted. The violence begins.

    Sword and Fang
    Military action

    The war begins, with the Seekers rallying in a crusade against the purposed Lycan menace. They rally in defence: Lycan clans, Gnomeish militia from above and below, Eldathyns, Firbolg warriors, Druids of the Moon and Land Circles, many Moonlighters and more important factions and communities bring themselves to their aid, and suffer the consequences. Many hill dwelling Gnomes and Hare are shunned or banished for their choice, Lycans are expelled from their non Lycan clans, and more. The violence is overwhelming, but the fight seems to be doable.

    The Burning of Windrun Plain
    Disaster / Destruction

    The violence comes to a head in Windrun Plain, where the Flame becomes more than a name. Seeker Soldiers alight a wildfire which engulfs the area, and the overwhelming forces corral their opposition to a burning death. The Hare, Gnomeish, and Drathian settlements in the area are alight. Many Lycanthrope clans all but perish, their remnants to be hunted later or left to hide in shadow. The populations of the hill Gnomes, Eldathyns, and Druids are severely reduced, subject now more than ever to separation and degradation. Legend says the flames raged for nearly a year.
