Kralgtarn Civil War

==Kralgtarn Civil War (356 AoV)==
One winter in 355 AoV, Kralg II fell ill with an unknown sickness. It chilled his blood and weakened his body, and he went into solitude, being seen only by his physicians. At the same time, the first okk’are had come westward, and were blamed by many for Kralg’s illness. The gnomes of Mulkister, under Fecix, thought that was insane and befriended the elves, taking them in.
Guhlkarn, a loyal city of ogres and orcs, launched an attack on Mulkister. Civil war broke out in Kralgtarn. Mulkister seceded and the gnomes and elves fought against the forces of Guhlkarn. Eventually the elves decided that they could no longer burden the gnomes with losses on their behalf. They traveled to the foothills of Arvenlaad and hid in the forest, setting up sites that would eventually become Alvestrin.
When Kralg II finally succumbed to his illness, more than one healer cited the stress of his kingdom falling apart as a barrier to his recovery. Guhlkarn was shunned by the rest of Kralgtarn and fell into ignominy and ruin, while Alvestrin grew in the shadow of the mountains and Mulkister thrived through its friendship with the dwarves.
Thus began Kralgtarn's slow, inevitable decline into ruin.
