The War of Orcish Submission, 1579 to 1580, was a conflict waged between the Holy Orenian Empire and the War Nation of Krugmar, stemming from the Empire's victory in the Krajian Rebellion. It was fought over Emperor John III's desire to see the War Nation, a signatory of the Axis Treaty, punished for their role in the attempted destruction of the Empire. John III hoped, given a resounding Imperial victory, to deter the formation of any future coalition set on destroying the Empire.

Prelude

Following the end of the Krajian Rebellion, the citizens of the Empire were filled with nationalistic fervor. The Empire had survived the world war that had defeated a united humanity in previous generations including the Zion War from the realm of the Fringe. Many rejoiced in an Imperial victory against a coalition comprised of the nations of the entire world, and called for retribution against the signatories of the Axis treaty. These calls from his people, and a general desire to improve the Empire's standing in the realm, led John III to seek reparations from the Empire's former enemies.

By the late 1570s, the orcs of the War Nation had been actively enslaving citizens of the Dominion of Malin, taking them from their homes in open daylight. Following several weeks of failed attempts by High Prince Tristan to halt the slaving, John III issued an ultimatum to the Rex of the orcs. Diplomacy failed, and orcish brutes continued their practice of slavery targeting not only elves, but humans as well.
