Ocean of Tears War

A hundred years ago, the Sahaugin and Aquatic Elves waged an epic war throughout the bottom of Devil’s Bay. Close to the beginning of the war, the neighboring inhabitants of the coastal lands (a large clan of Seacliff Dwarves) took notice of the fighting in the seas. Shortly thereafter the Dwarves became involved in the fighting, having been settled in the coastal cliffs and seas where a majority of the battle was taking place. Eventually a drastic turn was taken in the war when the Seacliff Dwarves decided to supported their lesser enemies, the Aquatic Elves. Together the two sides rallied to defeat the Sahaugin. The continual bloodshed of both seadwelling races meant an immense gain in territory, and the valuable resources of the Spice Basket without harassment for the Dwarves. The Seacliff Dwarves realizing this played both sides to their advantage. Great casualties ensued, with only the Seacliff Dwarves sustaining minor losses whilst fulfilling their motives. The Aquatic Elves and Sahaugin were almost entirely annihilted, forced to abandon their homes and retreat. For the last century both the Aquatic Elves and Sahaugin have been scarce seen in the coastal seas. Only sailors' tales rumor of their existence at this point.
