A History of Thestra

From the Great Library of New Targonor

As the orcs scoured the land in search of their next target, the human army raced off in three directions. One division rode high into the eastern mountains and beseeched the giants for their aid. A deal was brokered. One that would cost them greatly, but the humans had no choice. Reluctantly, they agreed.1

Another division sped to the dwarven compound, where their king was made aware of the advancing horde. Without hesitation, every able-bodied dwarf prepared for war. Surplus weapons and armor were hurriedly refitted to accommodate the larger humans. Within days, the Dwarves began the march to the northern coast, where the armies would assemble.2

The third division of humans rode west to instruct the citizens of Targonor in the defense of the city. After recruiting the Halflings, who sent many carts of excess food as well, they set off for the north coast.3

As the battles ensued each of the races suffered almost unbearable losses. In the end, the orcs, and goblins were eradicated, as were the Vulmane who allied with them. Only the Vulmane that had not taken up arms in the war were spared, but were watched with great prejudice and suspicion. The victors returned home broken and weary of war, to once again rebuild their societies. The high elves went to work building a new city from the ashes of their ruins. Though the Humans, Dwarves, and Halflings had not suffered great damage to their cities, many lives were lost and they would not recover fully for several generations.4
