Editing The Gnoll Magic War (section)

===Discovery of the Conspiracy===

It was a tradition for each tribe to present a gift at the Meeting of Tribes. The Silverfang Tribe's gift was a magical tome from the [[Rihal Imperium]], given by an “[[Teriarch|Eldavin]]” and [[Ryoka Griffin]].<ref>{{VERef|Chapter 2.46}}</ref><ref>{{VERef|Chapter 4.09}}</ref> Along with the tome, the Silverfangs wanted Gnolls to learn magic, having proof of two Gnolls gaining magic classes: Mrsha the [Druid] and [[Ferkr]], apprentice of [[Grimalkin Duveig]]. Ferkr initially could not cast a spell, claiming that something was blocking her. [Shaman] [[Theikha]] summoned Khoteizetrough, the Swamp Elemental of the Gaarh Marsh Tribe, who uncovered and broke a gigantic crystal of magicore buried under the location of the Meeting of Tribes, allowing Ferkr to cast.<ref name=":5">{{VERef|Chapter 8.42}}</ref>

Following the revelation, on the scrying orb, an international committee was formed, thanks to [[Feshi Weatherfur]] and [[Yerranola]]. Comprised of rulers from every continent except Rhir, they interrogated [Grand Strategist] [[Chaldion Oliwing]] of Pallass. Chaldion revealed at least two Walled Cities was involved in the conspiracy, while implying that a Gnoll tribe had also participated. No official verdict was passed by the committee<ref>{{VERef|8.49 M}}</ref>

Knowing war would start, the Drakes went on the offensive. One conflict involved the Drake city of Bentill ambushing the [[Lomost Tribe]]. However, Bentill's army was defeated by Niers Astoragon leading the Fellowship of the Inn, along with Lomost's ally the [[Ghostly Hand Tribe]].<ref name=":3">{{VERef|Chapter 8.52 MN}}</ref> To prevent Niers from interfering in Izril and to create chaos among the Gnolls, Chaldion hired [[Belavierr Donamia]].<ref name=":6">{{VERef|Chapter 8.66}}</ref><ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1">{{VERef|Chapter 8.80}}</ref>
