Tinderpaw War

The Tinderpaw War was an armed conflict between Corganan settlers and Wolf-Kin natives on Hollowdark. The war began with extreme native resistance to a Corganan takeover of the land around Port de Wolfe in the year 900 Pre-Common Age.
==Conflict==
In Fireheim of the year 900 PCA, dozens of ships filled with Corganan pioneers landed in western Hollowdark and built a settlement which would eventually become the city of Port de Wolfe. After a few weeks of building, the Corganans ventured into the forest where they encountered the Wolf-Kin natives of the Tinderpaw tribe. The Tinderpaws, known even among Wolf-Kin for their explosive tempers, declared the humans' expansion to be against the will of the gods and declared war almost immediately. In Harvest of 900 PCA, the Wolf-Kin carried out a series of their signature blitz raids on the fledgling settlement, but were ultimately repelled by the Corganans' superior armaments. 
After the unsuccesful first attacks, the Tinderpaws changed tactics, luring the Corganan militia into the woods surrounding the settlement where they held an advantage. The use of guerilla warfare and ambush tactics proved to be decisive: the Corganan militia was routed within days of entering the forest, and retreated within the walls of the settlement. Another attempt to foray into the woods some weeks later was just as unsuccessful and by mid-899 PCA the Corganans had effectively given up. 
==Aftermath & Legacy==
The brief war halted Corganan expansion into the land of Hollowdark, a region which to this day remains mostly unbroken wilds. This was also the first major example of the extreme effectiveness of Wolf-Kin braves at fighting in their ancestral woods, a fact that would be proven again multiple times in ensuing battles.
