The Settlers' War was a short war between the dwarven founders and the tall settlers of Slimlind Island on the PrikPack v15 server. It resulted in a decisive victory for the settlers, who established the Republic of Slimlind upon victory.
History
The island was originally discovered and inhabited by the dwarves, who declared it as their holy land and began construction of a fort atop island's highest peak. Soon after, jusipat found the island and invited Cflip_, bcfoss and Kjolt947 to join him in settling in the southern tip of the island. This was met in response by threats and general anger from the Dwarf population, who viewed their island as being invaded by foreigners. Upon his arrival, Cflip_ suggested that the new settlers clear out a sandy beach area to build a sandstone fort in the south. Tensions quickly escalated as both inhabitants fortified their places on the island. jusipat made the innovative discovery of craftable chain mail armour, which was cheaply massed produced on the tall-men side.
Not long after this discovery, The dwarves under Wikaros commanded an attack on the Slimmish sandstone outpost to drive the Slimmish off the island. The dwarves were quickly retreated after they realized that their foes fought back with much stronger equipment and resolve than anticipated. With the dwarves in retreat, jusipat commanded his forces to pursue the enemy and to attack and follow the dwarves to their hill fort. The dwarves attempted to defend their fort as the Slimmish climbed the hill and began the siege. Cflip_ was the first to breach the defences and get inside, however he was defeated in battle after getting inside. The other Slimmish warriors entered the fort and forced the dwarves to surrender.
End to the Conflict
Both sides agreed to a peaceful co-existence following the victory of the Slimmish settlers. In hoping to avoid a dirt war, jusipat was generous in his terms against the conquered peoples. However, the dwarves evacuated the island and moved to new lands. jusipat then returned to the Slimmish fort and proclaimed a new Republic of Slimlind.
