The '''Black Wars''' (4596–4602 [[Marphat calendar|CY]]), also known as the '''Etzavaz Wars''' were a series of conflicts pitting the [[Oldirian Union]] and its allies, led by [[Name Nameson]], against a coalition consisting of the major powers of the region and their allies and vassals. It was one of the bloodiest armed conflicts on Jotunnheim to date, until the [[Copper War]] which immediately followed it. The wars are named 'Black Wars' after the ash and soot that would cover battlefields as a result of the widespread use of [[wikipedia:Incendiary device|incendiary weaponry]]. The conflict is generally split into three conflicts: the [[First Black War|First]] (4596–4598), [[Second Black War|Second]] (4598) and [[Third Black War|Third]] (4599–4602) Black Wars.
