In the year 775 AH, the High Council of Stavenn sent scholars into Caanae under the guise of architects looking to build a temple to [[Avasyu]]. In reality, they were stealing mathematical formulas from the astronomers of the [[Academia Sylvalis]] that allowed one to calculate the trajectory of shooting stars. The scholars returned to Stavenn and turned over the formulas to [[Czezlo Tota]], who used them to create the blueprint for a massive siege machine that could catapult boulders through the air with terrifying and deadly accuracy. Those machines would be used against Caanae in the [[War of Avarice]], which began sometime near the year 850 AH and lasted for approximately seven years. | In the year 775 AH, the High Council of Stavenn sent scholars into Caanae under the guise of architects looking to build a temple to [[Avasyu]].

Both Stavenn and Caanae claimed victory in this war, and both were left severely weakened and lacking supplies. | ||
