Goblin Wars

Overview
The Goblin Wars was a pre-Spaurian period of harsh conflict between the Calbournian settlers and the goblinoid tribes of Glaun Encaru, who were each battling for dominance of the continent. The main portions of the war began in -8 PSA and ended in -3 PSA, though the Spaurian's would deal with small, scattered goblin tribes for the next few decades.

History
Almost immediately after arriving on the shores of the new world, the Calbournian and Feflian settlers were attacked and raided by the nearby goblin tribes. The ensuing skirmishes and battles crippled the newcomers, and severely depleted their resources. Nonetheless, refusing to lose morale, the settlers pushed back against the goblins and managed to gain ground, driving multiple tribes from their dens. However, gaining any further progress would have been nearly impossible without the aid of the Fylarion elves, who provided the newcomers with healing, food, weapons, and elvish warriors to aid in battle.

After the first Goldmoon celebration in -7 PSA, the allied settlers and elves began the long and difficult process of eradicating hostile goblinoid tribes from the southern regions of the continent, moving their way northward as they gained territory. It is doubtful that they would have survived the wars, let alone emerged victorious, if it were not for the unwillingness of the goblinoid tribes to cooperate with one another against their common enemies.

By the beginning of the Spaurian Age, goblinoids had been wiped off the face of Spauria, with the surviving tribes being forced to flee to scattered islands in the Southern Seas, where many still exist to this day.
