The '''Turamzzyrian-Faendryl War''', known as the '''Third Elven War''' or the '''Faendryl War''' to [[humans]], was fought from 4841 to 4842 between the human [[Turamzzyrian Empire]] under Empress [[Selantha Anodheles II|Selantha II]] and the [[dark elf|dark elven]] [[House of Faendryl]].

== Events ==

When Empress Selantha II ascended to the Sun Throne, the famed seer Caerol prophesied that the empire would experience a new age of glory. Bolstered by the prophecy, her advisors, and the [[Church of Koar]], she decided to invade [[Ta'Faendryl]]. The Turamzzyrian army assembled at [[Barrett's Gorge]] and was led by Eastern Sentinel Happerset of [[Honneland]] and Duke [[Nyrmont]] of [[Kezmon Isle]]. Irregulars from outlying provinces including [[River's Rest]] provided support. The sheer size of the army quickly overwhelmed the scattered Faendryl forces during the first year.

In late spring of the second year, the Faendryl sent a full legion of soldiers to meet the approaching Turamzzyrians, bolstered by over a hundred demon summoners. The humans had fought demons in the first year, but never on the scale seen in the ensuing battle, which became known as the Breaking. With the main strength of the invading army lost and Happerset missing after the battle, Nyrmont rallied the soldiers to Creyth, one of the forts the army had built along the road. Most of the irregulars fled the campaign entirely. Creyth held out for a time against the demons, but finally Nyrmont ordered a full retreat to Barrett's Gorge.

No treaty was ever signed. The lands between Barrett's Gorge and Ta'Faendryl became infested with demons summoned during the battles and their offspring. Selantha's successor, Emperor [[Wayrick Anodheles|Wayrick]], ordered the construction of the [[Demonwall]], garrisoned by the [[Order of the Golvern Star]].
