The War of the Black, also known as the War of the Red Ground, was a war fought by the Green and the Red against a bandit nation known as the Black. According to many other history books on the War of the Black wrongly say the Black were an organized army when in fact they only succeeded do to what is known as the triple cross. A Green general was passing information to the Black while simultaneously passing information onto the Green while passing information on to the Blue. This triple cross supplied the Black with the knowledge of when a shipment of high class weaponry guarded by elite soldiers would be crossing the border into Red on exactly twelve o'clock on the third of the gnomish month Gormicar (January seventh on the 2000 calendar of humans). This day is known in Green culture as Prince Death's Day. The prince Neocarlin was accompanying the caravan, he was shot through the heart by a Black archer. The shipment was seized and it gave the Black enough armament to wage head on war with the armies of the Green and Red. The war raged for three months and the Black had a clear edge until High General  Liledoff entered the war, his brilliance won the war and the Black was driven into the deep forests and thought to be dead. Until the Great War.
