Resource War
Background to Vol. 4, about 2 years before the transfer: the seven lizardman tribes on the southern shore of the Gourd Lake in the Great Forest of Tob went to war over insufficient catches, ending with five tribes instead of seven.
- The cause was that catches couldn't feed every tribe; hunters crossed boundaries to fish, clashes at the fishing grounds left people dead, then tribes sent warriors along, escalating into a war over food (exact course unverified)
- Victors: Green Claw, Small Fang, and Razor Tail; losers: Yellow Speckle and Sharp Edge; Red Eye and Dragon Tusk did not take part
- The Sharp Edge chief was defeated by Shasuryu and Zaryusu (the Shasha brothers), and "Frost Pain", one of the Four Treasures formerly held by Sharp Edge, has since been carried by Zaryusu
- The two defeated tribes dissolved, and the survivors joined Dragon Tusk, which had not fought
- With the population sharply reduced, food was actually sufficient afterward; Zaryusu once regarded the war as "a means of reducing the lizardmen's numbers to avoid famine"
- After the war Zaryusu became a "traveler" and journeyed abroad, returning about a year before the transfer and starting fish farming with methods learned from the "forest people"
- The three-tribe alliance forged in this war became the basis of the lizardman coalition against Nazarick later (unverified; Japanese sources only record that the tribal coalition was newly proposed by Zaryusu in Vol. 4)
Notes
The Japanese sources' timeline orders events as "2 years ago: lizardman tribal war → 1 year ago: Zaryusu returns", matching the opening of Vol. 4.
