First Heathen War

In the year 10 WE, it became known to the elders that some of their number still held the same disdain for the Divine One. How they had survived his wrath has never been certain. With their much smaller "world" still in its budding stages and with only minor interference by the Divine One himself, the elders took it upon themselves to extricate and exterminate such heathens. Thus, they began what would be known as the First Heathen War.

Many of the non-human tribes in Wenderia were affected by the war; while most of them believed in some sort of God, they were often offended or put off by the restrictions set by Human churches. The elders frequently placed such restrictions in ways that made them - and all humans - as the greatest of the races.

The war lasted for two years, during which a large percentage of the non-human population was completely eradicated. Those who remained, whether by pity or thanks to their conformity, naturally came to resent and distrust the humans who had put them in such a position.

Furthermore, the devastation caused by the war sparked a loss of much of the technology the survivors had been given when they arrived on Wenderia. Though they cobbled together what they could from the shambled remnants of the past, the world would never fully recover.
