The Far-Side Terms
The fifth age, c. 160,000-c. 98,000 BR, in which the young far-side peoples fought over wells, passes, harbours, and spawning water through a long chain of feuds, raids, and wars, and the terms the stronger side dictated became the custom of the far side. See The Folds, the Scarps, and the Shore.
This age overlaps the end of the last on purpose. On the far side, young Orc, Halfling, Gnome, Thaluren, and Kavari peoples fight over wells, passes, harbours, and spawning water through a long chain of feuds, raids, and wars, and the stronger side dictates terms each time. The terms that held became the custom of the far side for the rest of its history; later far-side songs look back to them and add nothing new.
