Cold War of the Giants

The Cold War of the Giants was a period of seven years between the Great Deposing of King Jazet at the hands of the Ettin and the eventual enthronement of Jazet's son, Kazeg.

After the idle King Jazet was deposed by the Ettin, their leader, Udek and Udar, ruled the Giant Kingdom for seven years, becoming the only Ettin to rule as King of the Giants. However, he promised that Kazeg, the son of Jazet will become the King, once he had become of age.

There was a time of great hostilities after the death of Jazet; many minor skirmishes and brawls broke out across the Kingdom for seven years. Ettin burned down the homes of the Gorthmag Giants and the Gorthmag rioted against the Ettin stronghold of Ort-Hod.

Eventually, Kazeg came of age to be enthroned as the rightful heir to the Kingdom. The Ettin were furious and worried at Kazeg becoming king, as they believed he would exact revenge against them for killing his father. However, Kazeg forgave Udek and Udar for killing his father and the land was restored to peace. The relations between Gorthmag and Ettin were mostly settled, however, the deposing of Jazet and the many atrocities committed in the Cold War, led to some of the Ettin to begin conspiring against the Gorthmag. This would culminate in the Great Exile in 1,390 BR and, eventually, the Ettin Rebellion in 1,310 BR.
