History, Background, and Aftermath[]
The First War of Megalo was a war between Ros versus Cartage and their Amazon allies. Ros wished to conquer all of Megalo while Cartage wished for a peaceful relationship. Just in case of an attack by Ros, Cartage made an agreement with Amazolla: Cartage would supply free bow string and arrow shafts in exchange of a guaruntee Amazolla would help Cartage if Ros attacked. After Ros attacked a town known as Commati near the Cartagan border (now in modern day Faris), war was declared. After more than 18 Years of battle, Cartage won the battle, with much help from the Amazons. In the peace treaty, Ros had to break up it's large kingdom into smaller ones, pay the Amazons and Cartage for war costs, give Cartage a part of land (the now northern part of Cartage), and give the Amazons free naval access to the waters near Ros.
