The '''first Wesfolk War''' was the first major conflict between [[Haldric's people|Prince Haldric's people]] and the [[Wesfolk]]. Started when the Wesfolk arrived at the [[Green Isle]], their necromantic [[Lich-Lords|Lich-Lord]] masters made up for their inferior numbers. Despite this, the war was eventually won by Haldric's people, and the Wesfolk were forced to live in marginal regions of the island.

Prior to the invasion of the Wesfolk, [[Haldric's people|Prince Haldric's people]] prospered under the rule of many kings.<ref name="summer">{{Cite|summer}}</ref> Led by the [[Lenvan|Lich-Lord Lenvan]],<ref name="oldwood">{{Cite|the oldwood}}</ref> the Wesfolk originally arrived at the [[Green Isle]] as refugees, fleeing another war in the [[Old Continent]]. The Wesfolk were ruled by the [[Lich-Lords]], who were capable of necromancy, while Haldric's people had no experience in magic whatsoever. A struggle ensued between the two groups for control over the Green Isle.<ref name="summer"/>

At first, despite Haldric's people's superior numbers,<ref name="summer"/> the Lich-Lords proved fearsome adversaries. In one great battle, the Lich-Lords befouled the island's greatest river, turning it into what became known as the [[Swamp of Esten]]. The damage to the [[Clearwater|Kingdom of Clearwater]] prevented it from becoming the largest kingdom on the island.<ref name="esten">{{Cite|esten}}</ref> The tides only turned against the Wesfolk when Haldric's people used magic in battle for the first time. This occurred some distance east from the [[Southbay|Kingdom of Southbay]], where magi petrified the [[Caror|Lich-Lord Caror]] in stone, erecting a monolith to allow for the undoing of the spell. The place was subsequently named [[Fallen Lich Point (peninsula)|Fallen Lich Point]].<ref name="clearwater">{{Cite|clearwater}}</ref>

Another victory came for Haldric's people when they trapped Lenvan within the [[Oldwood catacombs|catacombs]] beneath [[Oldwood Forest]], a magical seal preventing him from escaping.<ref name="oldwood"/> Haldric's people emerged victorious, pushing the Wesfolk into the most marginal of the island's lands. Though a peace of sorts was achieved, it was often interrupted by the Wesfolk's raids, such as those on the [[Stormvale|Kingdom of Stormvale]].<ref name="summer"/>
