Background

Thousands of years before the Grand Calming many of the human clans of Niueyjar were stuck in a constant state of war. The fighting ended when the reclusive Dvergur sent out a small number of their elder mages to end the ceaseless conflict. The subjugation was a bloody and brutal affair. Still, eventually, the Dvergur were victorious crowned one of their own as Emperor and founded Clan Kalifen who ruled the island unopposed until shortly after the Grand Caling. By this point, several of the clans had come to believe that the Dvergur blood in the royal family was diluted enough that they had a chance at self-rule.
