History

[edit]

The First Turtle War was a bloody, but short war, lasting less than a moon's turn.[2]

The war was fought between Volon Therys and Sar Mell. According to legend, the war began when the Valyrians killed a gigantic turtle, one of those called the Old Men of the River by the Rhoynar. The Rhoynar hold these turtles sacred, viewing them as the consorts of Mother Rhoyne herself.[2]

During the course of the war, Sar Mell was raided and burned. They emerged victorious when Rhoynish water wizards called up the power of the river, and proceeded to flood Volon Therys. If the tales can be believed, half the city was washed away.[2]
