The Dwarven-Family War was a conflict between members of The Empire and The Family during the first week of the Overlords 2 server. The war would see the largest air battle in server history during the Battle of Poitevine.
Beginning of Hositilities
The war would break out following a sudden and unprovoked attack on Empire member jusipat in the settlement of Poitevine. TheOldBookman, using his powers as a vampire, flew into the settlement and slew jusipat. Kjolt947 witnessed the attack, seeing TheOldBookman fleeing the scene. In this attack, all of jusipat's possessions would be plundered from his corpse, with a symbolically placed Tainted Crown being the only thing left placed in his corpse's inventory.
Following this blatant and flagrant and seemingly unwarranted act of aggression, jusipat petitioned the Sovereign of the Empire for total-war against TheOldBookman, and by extension The Family in its entirety. The Sovereign flufyking would formally declare war on TheOldBookman immediately after this incident.
The Phony War
Due to the fact that TheOldBookman deliberately obscured his bases' coordinates, for the Empire it was impossible to strike back in retribution. This was not helped by the fact that as a vampire, TheOldBookman could fly as a bat during the night, giving cause for great concern during the long and treacherous nights of the server that he may strike with impunity. This gave rise to the Phony War, as for a long duration (specify), the Empire and the Family were in a state of war without engaging in any hostilities whatsoever.
jusipat, aiming to strike wherever possible, marshaled Kjolt947 and the two made a night-time raid on a pre-generated wizard tower which was assumed was where TheOldBookman resided. While the structure was thoroughly ransacked, and a head of TheOldBookman symbolically taken, there was no trace of TheOldBookman and the operation was deemed a failure. The information regarding this structure was passed to the Empire by bcfoss, another vampire player who used his flying ability to scout for the Empire during this war as he was equally frustrated by the lack of scruples and honour from TheOldBookman in engaging a war from the shadows.
Battle of Poitevine
Following an extended period of lull in any fighting,
