By the time they were finally forced to act, the repercussions would be severe for all.Ī few Elves warned, when they mediated an alliance between Humans and Dwarves, that the included cheap access to certain spell components could be a problem, but geopolitical allies were deemed more important. While this more peaceful interpretation was welcomed by this neighbors, it also meants the Orks did not move to stop the Mage Wars as they might have otherwise. "Honor" was reinterpreted and re-understood. It is ironic that in the immediate aftermarh, the Orks underwent a leadership and religious change. The remaining Ork army returned home feeling thier honor had been served, the Elves and Humans formed a stronger alliance, which led to an allicance with the Dwarves, and the Humans learned new arcane techniques and proved themselves honorable fighters to the Orks. The operation was wildly successful on all fronts. It was the northern Orks, seeking to regain their honor for a slight that sadly is not recorded in history, that raided most aggressively against the High Elves, and in a single tatical raid crippled the Elves ability to produce the magical weapons and armor needed by thier army.Ĭut off and desperate, the High Elves stuck a deal with humans for their army: they would teach Human Mages some of thier enchantments, and help produce the weapons to arm a Human counter-offensive. Most historians trace the beginning of the Mage Wars to the Human Mages developing advanced techniques, but rarely is it mentioned how that development happened. There was more thievery than trade or even trust, but such matters were small enough to be overlooked. T'Loth had been in a period of remarkable global stability the nations of Elves, Dwarves, Gnomes, Goliaths, Halfling, Orks, Human, and others each ruled over thier respective areas.
