The Beast Wars marks one of the bloodiest conflicts in Duskara history, sparked by the sudden emergence of Beastfolk on what was previously a human-dominated world. Created by the ancient human druid Sylvos, these new beings sought only to establish peaceful settlements and build lives for themselves. However, humans, viewing them as monsters and invaders, responded with fear, hatred, and violence.
What followed was years of brutal warfare that forever changed the face of Duskara. Despite the Beastfolk's generally peaceful nature, they were forced to band together and fight for survival as humans hunted many of their subraces to extinction. The conflict reached unprecedented levels of violence, leaving deep scars on both societies that persist to this day. The war finally ended when the Beastfolk successfully secured the continent of Calderia as their homeland, forcing humans to negotiate a treaty. While modern times see humans and Beastfolk as tentative allies, the deep-seated prejudices born from the Beast Wars continue to influence their relationships. Both societies now work to overcome this dark chapter in their shared history, though the wounds of the past remain fresh in cultural memory.
