Blight-Pact Wars

The Blight-Pact Wars were a series of conflicts between the Escalots and the Blighted Kingdoms. The wars began with the desire to claim fertile land outside of the Blighted Forest, and later became an attempt to keep control of the lands they had held against an onslaught of Escalots from the East.

Prelude to War
Uuth'har Gollm's Empire collapsed the day after his death, and the Blighted Kingdoms had no real interest in holding onto the territories that strongly in Vaakoraa. They relinquished these territories to the Pact Devils, who very much wished to enter Vaakoraa and conquer it for themselves. The Pact Devils who accepted this offer soon found themselves in a campaign of attrition against the Dark Legion. Most of the Pact Devils who entered Vaakoraa, were slain in Vaakoraa. This meant that the number of Escalots controlling the territory had diminished, from over a hundred, there were now only 42.

The Blighted Kingdoms found the lands very useful to their own interests. During the final phases of Uuth'har Gollm's invasion, the Gith were crated as a crossbreed of Vaergonians and Humans to create a species that could campaign in Vaakoraa and live in Vaergonia w/o any defects of lack of Corruption. The experiments were crude, but successful. The legend of the Battle of Visika Bloc had reached the Blightman, and they were eager to try out their own Gith. Some would fight each other, but many realized that the Gith armies consumed considerably larger amounts of food than their old bestial armies. With a famine on the horizon, the need for more land to produce more food became apparent. The Escalots had that land.
