First Berokian-Cainaan War

The First Berokian-Cainaan War, began in 1445 when Cainaan forces started to harsh Berokian forts on the border of Cainaan and Berok. These harassments developed into skirmishes and later full on battles. During the later phase Cainaan would also start to harass trade caravans from Ralmulash. This and the new alliance forged between House Maliar and House Tesarik of Berok would lead to the entry of Ralmulash in the war. This would lead to the end of the war in 1460.

== War ==
=== First phase: Skirmishes (1445-1450) ===
Outbreak of the war can be best described as a small series of harassments at the border of Berok and Cainaan. While the troops garrisoned at the Berokian forts had increased since the first refugees arrived from Cainaan/Tara Tranda in 1431. 
=== Second phase: Battles (1450-1460) ===
==== House Maliar ====
== Aftermath ==
To integrate in chronicle order:
* 1445-1450 mostly skirmishes causing minor losses for both sides
** Most battles fought around mountain passes and forts between Berok and Cainaan
* 1450-1455 major battles, Cainaan sacks multiple (smaller) towns in northern Berok
** 1450 breakthrough by Cainaan through Berokian defences
* 1456-1460 House Cerniek is disposed in 1456 by House Maliar
** Failures to protect Berok cause great grievances
** Disposal leads to the sack of a major city in Berok in 1457
** House Maliar uses their ties with House Tesarik in Berok to forge an alliance. House Tesarik in turn has good relations with the dwarves of Ralmulash, who were also threatened by Cainaan, to sign the Silver-Bear Treaty in 1458.
** War ends in 1460 as the combined strength of Berok and Ralmulash pushes Cainaan back.
