Cicarith Ascendancy

The Cicarith Ascendancy consisted primarily of Dwarves, Fey and Salamanders but held a large number of other Karnathi-native races.
The refugees from the Distant Continent had come in great number and the Ascendancy raised racist alarm about them... bestial races, they were called for their 'bizarre' appearances - even the two elf-like species (who came to be known as the Sun and Moon Elves) were odd by Karnathi standards with strange skin markings and glowing bits, sharper teeth and nails, they were originally even said to have horns - though this could have been propaganda.
They were taking land meant for the Karnathi, there were too many of them - they'd breed and overtake the population. The only way Karnath could be safe was to wipe them all out! Clearly their homeland fell for good reason.
A lot of this sentiment was led by Sathod Helgron - a dwarven statesman from Cicarith (a small country near in what is now western Pryveth. He and his fellows tried to ban all refugees from their country, and when they were met with international backlash they were encouraged by Sathod to expand. The other nations didn't understand what Karnath needed but they did and it wasn't beast-men!
They systematically wiped out almost all of the bestial races while conquering almost all of Karnath eventually this racist sentiment extended towards Karnathi's own 'bestial' folk such as the Orcs, Eshte, Aarakocra and Viride. 
Gromor of the Orc clan Loosestrife eventually rose up as a leader in opposition almost 80 years into the Ascendancy, born in a deathcamp in Eolura Lielle he wasn't expected to live long - instead he survived, persisted and found vengeance with the help of Hitarius - an Ester god who reached out in a time of next to no godly intervention to imbue him with the resolve to free his people and destroy the Cicarith Ascendancy.
Covered in the scars of whippings and cruelty he freed his first death camp at 13 by inspiring a revolt and eventually he freed others, it's because of Gromor that all 'bestial races' live and it's not uncommon to hear of children named Gromor as a result.
The Cicarith Ascendancy has its major players wiped out slowly over the course of almost four decades and Cicarith itself has its capital city of Citora burned to the ground. It is now only a bad story told in the hopes its never repeated.
