From the late 1300's CE until 1523, Grimlahd was in turmoil. A variety of factions of Grimlahdis all sought supreme control over the planet, very few having any sort of upper hand on the others. It was a bloody time, but as the years went on, one faction after another would fall, its leaders slain, its followers enslaved. In 1519, only two factions remained: those that followed Tuktill Sorii, and those that followed Jiktar the Stumptail.
