Though the war ended, the attacks on the Aedyrans didn't stop. Several thousand Aedyran colonists died as well as hundreds of Glanfathans. It was short, lasting less than a year, but it was bloody and brutal. Whether this was intentional or accidental is not known, but this incident started what came to be known as the Broken Stone War. Main articles: Broken Stone War, War of Black TreesĪ group of farmers, clearing a potential crop field in the middle of an area dotted with many sacred ruins, knocked down one of the ancient menhirs. This tentative peace came to a bloody end in 2626 AI. They tried to live in peace, keeping an eye on the Aedyrans, and with the exception of a few isolated incidents, it seemed to work. By 2623 AI, the Aedyrans had established towns, pushing the Glanfathans out of some areas and enslaving any who refused to leave. Despite their best efforts, more Aedyran invaders appeared. Their people, heritage, and land at stake, the Glanfathans struck back, hoping to drive them out of their lands permanently. Glanfathans that resisted were captured and forced into slavery, becoming property of the new colonists. The ruins that covered their land were considered sacred and these strangers, despite warnings, plundered them, taking artifacts. The Glanfathans were not used to encounters with outsiders before and viewed the intrusion on their land as something of a test. Even then, it is poorly documented and oral accounts often conflict and most are not aware of their history and ties to the Engwithans. įor westerners, the history of Eir Glanfath begins with Aedyran explorers in 2602 AI. Glanfathan tradition holds that the Keepers of the Stone were the first of the six great tribes to make contact with the Builders and accept their mandate. Although they would never rise to the level of architectural sophistication of the Engwithans, the Glanfathans would guard them with religious zeal, protecting against looters. The semi-nomadic tribes revered them as messengers of the gods and accepted the mandate to protect Engwithan ruins in return for the right to settle the area that would become known as the Twin Elms. The precise reason is not known, but it was likely deliberately engineered by the Engwithans - or Builders, as the Glanfathans came to know them. The tribes that would become known as the Glanfathans migrated south as a cohesive whole, in a largely unprecedented pilgrimage to Teir Evron and the remnants of Engwithan cities that surrounded it. The foundation of Eir Glanfath is intimately tied to the Engwithans and the great migration that is estimated to have occurred around 1350 AI.
