History

In time immemorial, reportedly some time during the late 2nd century, Yu För Ner was attacked by savage cyclopss living nearby. The details of the conflict are hazy at best due to many conflicting accounts. What is known is Yu För Ner lost 102 people, 353 livestock, and 55 buildings. The conflict ended after roughly 48, when members of Yu För Ner's militia enacted an operation to capture a particular research site intact. The operation was complicated by the army being put into a position where they could only choose between two terrible options. The conflict ended with the defense of the research site against a siege, which ended in a crushing defeat for Yu För Ner's forces. The war is remembered in legend by Yu För Ner's bards, historians, and legend keepers.
