Military: War
The isolated, Alpha Quarter archipelago of Tiam's Cradle falls into violence as several tribes of the local Ghost Elves declare all-out war on the local Tiam-Anzu population after a major spiritual leader and U'shu'e knowledge-keeper was slain by one of the feathered dragons. The Ghost Elves became sharply divided among the Himadri peace-seekers and the Inquanok dragon-hunters, with the latter taking up most of the population at its height. The local tiam-anzu were driven to near-extinction; the remainder fled.
Mysteriously, the God-Queen of the Tiam-Anzu, Tallari-Anaviri-Irallat, did not intervene directly, however they rescinded the blessings they placed upon the plane after the events of the First Dragon Wars, and furthermore cursed the Inquanok tribes to never be free of their blood oath. The population has since waned as the curse appears to have led to a mess of distrust and infighting. The Himadri, spared the Sphinx God's Curse, are now the majority Ghost Elves on the archipelago.
