Skirmish at The Spur

The Skirmish at The Spur was a short but violent battle that took place after the arrival of Men into Lithua following the Great Exile.

After being banished from Thaniria by the Giant Kingdom and arriving in Lithua, Hadran, one of the Early Patriarchs, stirred up animosity amongst the men who had decided to stay in the country that would later be known as Mittland. He questioned the leadership abilities of the other Patriarchs in an attempt to gain power and favourability amongst the people. After this, a brief fight broke out within the group, with the majority of the people taking the side of Pithor, son of Priek, against Hadran and his followers.

Hadran would quickly back down and retreat following the death of Holos, one of his own sons. Lort, one of the other Patriarchs was also killed, and so passed leadership of his family to his son Lorm.

This skirmish began the War for the Green, where Hadran founded his own tribe, the Greenlords, and where Lorm, Pithor, and eventually Skuun, would found the Westerkin to fight for their claim over the land.
