Sithican Civil War
{{canon}]
From 720 BC to 740 BC, Sithicus was drenched in the blood spilled by civil war between the native Sithican wild elves and the forces of Soth. However, in 737 BC, Soth became bored with ruling over Sithicus and was seen less and less often over the nex three years. By 740 BC, Soth had withdrawn into the fantasies created by his Memory Mirrors.
While the war had raged on, Lord Soth entertained a few schemes that showed an almost playfully creative malevolence. Over the course of the campaign, many generals came and went. Lord Soth found gamblers to have the longest staying power. He tricked suitable applicants through holding gambling tournaments for the deed to the Iron Warden Inn. (The job of general came with the deed.)[1] And in 725 BC, Lord Soth pulled the village of Kendralind into his domain, for he sought to create a race of Kender Vampires to serve him and terrorize the elves.[2]
