The Tables of the Histories of the Stoneborn of Dynkyr - Table X

After the days when Therol ruled Dynkyr alone, the crowns of the Dwenir passed swiftly, and none who bore them were long at peace. The rule that followed was harsh and brief, for authority no longer rested easily upon any single head.

Egaron succeeded Therol and was Regn for seven years. Harhold followed him and held the crown for three. After him came Munn, who ruled for but a single year before the Dunic Wars were kindled. Munn was a cruel Regn and unforgiving. His tongue was sharp and his temper short, and it was said that he oft remembered slights that none knew had been made.

In those days the decrees of Dynkyr grew pointed, and punishment was favored where counsel had once prevailed. Each Regn sought to impose restraint by force, and in doing so hastened the loss of what little trust yet remained.

Then it was said among the Besnir that the Dwenir could no longer bear a crown—not because they were faithless, nor because they lacked wisdom, but because they had grown too many in will and too equal in wealth to suffer one voice above the rest.

From that saying the Dunic Wars took their first breath.

Oromir, Festog, and Dynkyr rose against one another, and for five long years their battles raged, until Sinovor the Hierophant was able to negotiate a peace. But the peace was troubled, and trust between the Duns did not recover.

When he was slain at Golin's Ridge he was succeeded by Uloin the Regn and a time of peace dawned.
