The Grendel War began...
Background
A quick look at a map of Otan will make things obvious to anyone. Humans control most of the continent; seven nations in total. After the Great Erasure the various races of Otan struggled to determine why this was so. Without memories or a history, there were certainly those taken aback by the apparent unfairness of this newfound situation.
The Ælfes were content with their two nations, and even the Kuulik seemed content with their tiny peninsula, but the war-like Grendel were not. For over 200 years Grendel discontent grew into an unbridled rage. In many cases, their rage was justified. Grendel were rarely safe outside of Grendeland. Often treated as monsters, their diplomatic delegations, trade delegations and lone adventurers alike were often slain without mercy.
Unable to expand their territory or even their quality of life through trade, the situation finally exploded. On a cold Senbi morning on the 12th of Nawriz, 238 IM, Grendel forces invaded Soltustik. The Grendel War had begun.
Grendel Aggression
From what is understood about the Grendel strategy, eventually all of the human countries would eventually fall to Grendel blades. The Grendel had envisioned this taking place one nation at a time, however.
The initial surge into Soltustik was wildly successful, seeing Grendel forces take over more than half of Soltustik territory in little less than a year. Cities of Ayaz, Kolgap, Salem, Muzduk and Sana fell almost immediately. Special forces from Shuwalu assisted the Grendel, helping to ensure that the Soltustik didn't try to turn the tide of the war using spellcasters.
The nation of Ælfwode intervened on behalf of Soltustik, helping to keep the city of Itter from falling to Grendel forces.
