Colonial War of Den

Prelude: Not knowing what to expect on the Islands of Den, the Merchants Republic of Daria decided to send a large group of settlers supported by an army of soldiers. They set sail and eventually arrived at Den. They were greeted by a large host of Denizens who saw their approach and the meeting quickly devolved into fighting when the Darians refused to leave.

Fighting: Daria saw many early victories against the Denizens. Their superior weapons and armor gave them a great advantage at taking the villages of Den. However, the soldiers of Den were quick to react and reverted to hit and run tactics using guerrilla warfare against Daria. After many years of brutal drawn out fighting leaving thousands dead, the Darians decided to pull out. The remaining soldiers and the wounded got on the boats and fled back to Daria.

Outcome: After the invasion, the Tribes of Den became known to the rest of the world. However they openly refuse to trade or receive diplomats from other countries preferring to remain isolated. Daria was set back by the loss of troops and had to spend several years to regain their strength.
