The First Sentrian War

The First Sentrian war was a 6 year conflict between 'The Sentrian Alliance' and The Elven Realm. The Sentrian Alliance consisted of The Two Kingdoms of Men, The Dwarven Empire, and R'kir from The Riad. It began on 9/9/ct:8392 when Vāgwë, the Elvenking who had just arrived on Sentres marched 20,000 newly arrived Faromi north to the gates of Ysimazar. It finished in a great battle before the gates of Elemor - the capital of The Elven Realm at the time.

Arrival of the Elves
5 boats carrying 30,000 Elves arrived from Edorlund in ct:8390. They had left Edorlund in pursuit of the fleeing Men. When the Men had embarked on their perilous journey to Sentres, they had numbered less than 100. Now they numbered over 5000 and were in control of two vast kingdoms, and strong allies with the powerful and established Dwarven Empire.

The Elvenking of the Faromi Elves at that point was Vāgwë, who had killed the previous king on Edorlund as he had not been willing to give chase to the Men. He was now rightful heir to the great Finti, and commanded another 200,000 Elves on Edorlund, making ready to also immigrate to Sentres.

Vāgwë set up a settlement called Elemor on the shore of the sea, and set to work building a garrison. He founded The Elven Realm - little did he know the land was part of the vast Dwarven Empire. There were few Dwarves to man this vast empire, so the Elves went unnoticed for months. Then, on 21/11/ct:8390, they were noticed by a Dwarven battalion marching down the coast. At first the Dwarves thought they were men, but upon closer inspections they recognised the newcomers to be Elves. Though a Dwarf had never seen an Elf, they had heard terrible stories from Men of them. The Dwarves turned around and marched quickly back to Giretor, and to King Thorir I. King Thorir then sent word to King Wulf of Men. Wulf prepared soldiers and increased defences around Ysimazar, but was sure that the wall would hold.

King Thorir sent 5000 Dwarven troops to help defend Ysimazar, and promised 25,000 more should the Elves mobilise.
