War of the Races

The war of the races is considered by many the most significant event in the modern history of Lunaris. It is also the most deadly event with uncountable numbers of all races being killed. The war got its name as it involved every common civilized race with the sides of the war being based purely on race.

Short-term Effects
The war created a divide ended a long-run tension between races in the sense that they had solved the conflict over territory.

Territory Changes

 * The dwarves lost large amounts of territory to the east of their lands to the elves. It included land on the plains and some mountainous terrain, rich in minerals. They also lost small amounts of their most southern land and gave a few low-value islands in the signing of the peace treaty.
 * The Lyrans lost small amounts of land to the elves in the savannah in the east as well as some semi-arid land in the east.
 * The gnomes lost all of their territory, mainly to the elves but some of their westerly forest was taken by the orcs instead.
 * The orcs' holdings fell fair drastically with them losing their footholds in the plains as well as some of their most easterly forest to the elves. The gained a small amount of fairly low-value forest land to the north from the previous gnome lands.

Modern-day Influences
Nowadays the most of the territory battles are legally defined however integration between races means that they are not as defined in actual terms. There are no guards or borders separating them as there had in the past.

Most grudges have mainly subsided. However it has proven the power of the elves to the point where the other races are unlikely to mess with them. There is still notable hatred between gnomes and orcs from the gnomish genocide.
