The Askerr War was the conflict fought in the wake of The Hexarchy's settlement of the island of the same name, or otherwise known as Dromosker Island. The conflict was fought between the settlers of the island, who were from various places of The Hexarchy (and elsewhere), and the natives of the island, who had proven unable to be subjugated by past settlers of the island. The natives, prone to cannibalism and constant warfare with others, successfully resisted all prior incursions deep into the island and instead practiced cannibalism on the very people claiming to be their colonial rulers.

The Lugal on the Hexarchy's side, Chief Eru Tepesh was having none of it, especially after his emissary's murder at a feast supposedly held in his celebration. If anyone were to die on his side, it would be those sentenced to a fate involving certain death. With Ereskigal Forest so far away, the Askerr would normally prove up to the task of replacing it. However, they seemed to be intent on eating his best people alive, instead of his worst. That said, it was obvious that these natives were under the impression that their "mana" gave them strength.

He was determined to send the permanent message that their concept of greatness was barely a drop in a very, very large bucket.
