The '''Second Turamzzyrian-Nalfein War''', known as the '''Second Elven War''' to [[human]]s and the '''Second Nalfein-Turamzzyrian War''' in the [[Elven Nations]], was fought from 4769 to 4772 between the human [[Turamzzyrian Empire]] under Emperor [[Rallick Anodheles|Rallick I]] and the [[elven]] [[House of Nalfein]]. The war ended in a victory for the House of Nalfein.

''See also: [[Elven Wars]], an essay from an elven perspective.''

== Events ==

The war was called by [[Prelate Fzendoor|Fzendoor]] of Immuron, a Prelate of the [[Church of Koar]]. The Church had gained substantial influence in the preceding years, and Fzendoor had the ear of the Emperor. Some later historians believed that the Nalfein elves subtly encouraged the conflict, hoping to turn the Emperor's attention against the [[House of Faendryl]] once he had raised his army. Those efforts were unsuccessful in the end, and Rallick marched against Ta'Nalfein.

The Turamzzyrian campaign met with initial success, and other elven monarchs including [[Irinara Illistim]] expressed concerns and offered the Nalfein assistance despite having declared neutrality. Rallick died during the campaign, however, and Prelate Fzendoor would lead the Turamzzyrian army into disaster at the [[Battle of the Susserlin River]]. The greater part of the army was destroyed, Fzendoor himself was missing and presumed dead, and the broken remnants of the army retreated back to [[Barrett's Gorge]] for the winter. Three months later, Rallick's successor [[Theron Anodheles|Theron]] signed the treaty to formally end the war.

== Rumors ==

While the war was led by the Church of Koar, there were rumors that the Turamzzyrians also employed [[Onar]]ian cultists:

{{Quote
|... little is known of the Hand of Bones save for their worship of Onar the Assassin. This unlawful sect of assassins have been rumored to have a hand in numerous mysterious deaths, especially of nobility, throughout the history of the Empire, but there exists little evidence beyond speculation. Most notable of these rumors are old accounts of Nalfein soldiers near Barrett's Gorge claiming they had been harried, and some of their commanders murdered, by shadowy figures wearing white skull-shaped rings. It's said one such figure released the poison inside his ring into the glasses of Nalfein commanders, and the next morning they were found dead, mere moments before imperial warhorns had sounded and the Nalfein outpost was overrun during the Second Elven War.

The rumors, of course, are dismissed by imperials as just more elven lies used to justify their conflict with the humans.
