====20 Day War====
A rather quick war between the nomadic humans of the Kahlri Desert and the Southern Elves. In the year 3200, some unrest came between the elves and the humans. Now, the humans already had some hate against the elves for claiming the entire forest all those years ago and then the elves demanded the humans move farther north, away from the forest. The elves wanted more territory as they had discovered how to use their magic to grow plant life in even the harshest of terrain and they wanted to turn a section of the desert into land that could support them. Of course the humans refused, arguing that they shouldn't have to move because the elves were beginning to overpopulate the forest. In an attempt to settle the issue, a meeting was called in the neutral country of Zihan. There the issue was presented to find some sort of compromise between the two parties. The elves indeed had an overpopulation problem, though turning part of the desert into woodland would ruin the natural attractions the humans use for income. At the end of the meeting, it was decided that nothing should be done as the humans refused any sort of compromise since the elves can simply move far south. Three days after the meeting at midnight, a human settlement in the Kahlri desert was attacked. Half the settlement was destroyed, burned to ruins. No one was seen attacking the village, though upon investigation it was deduced the village was destroyed through magic. The elves were immediately blamed, though they denied everything. Enraged, the whole of the Kahlri desert declared war against the Southern Elves and attacked the forest cities. The humans organized a surprise attack, catching the elves off guard and burning the forest as they continued. The elves fought back with their troops, who were superior in skill to the humans, but the humans had siege engines. Though the humans were taking heavy casualties, they continued to burn more and more of the forest by launching flaming boulders over the canopy using their catapults. In 18 days one-third of the forest was burned down, the humans continuing their advance. After two more days of fighting the elves surrendered, in fear that the whole forest would be burned to ashes. The humans agreed to stop the assault and go back to their desert, as long as the elves stay away from the desert for the next 500 years. The war ended with the elves losing 4,000 men, while the humans lost 19,000. A victory for the humans, many men were lost though the message was sent. The elves eventually rebuilt using their magic to regrow the forest and the humans rebuilt the lost village, which later became a very busy place of trading and exchange.
