Makod's Insurrection

Makod's Insurrection was a conflict that took place in 1,390 BR that saw the beginning of the Great Exile.

Dissatisfied with the conditions lived in by the Gaurmac Giants, the lead of the Gaurmac, Makod, sought to overthrow the Gorthmag Giants as rulers of the Giant Kingdom in a similar fashion as the Ettin had done more than 500 years earlier in the Great Deposing.

Although Makod's troops caused severe casualties with the Gorthmag, they were defeated in Scurthaur, the capital of the Giant Kingdom. There, Makod was killed and the survivors were rounded up before King Glam. Under influence from his Ettin advisers, Xenn and Xorr, Glam saw fit to banish the Gaurmac from Thaniria as well as banishing the humans based on evidence that was planted by the Ettin.
