== War with Ozder ==

== War with Uzder ==

Throughout most of its history, Ginsag was in a state of war with [[Ozder]]. The conflict was over control of the area west of the Loodon river, known as [[Homestead]], which at the time was still recovering from the drought and was only sparsely populated. But when Ginsag claimed it, Ozder immediately disputed the claim.

However, war with Ozder never resulted in any actual battles. Instead, it made Homestead into a neutral territory that neither ginsags nor ozder citizens could occupy, but could pass through.

After the destruction of Ginsag cities by Tref, many displaced ginsags migrated to Homestead, which triggered Ozder to attack their settlements and eventually occupy the region. Ozder then attempted to expand to the former Ginsag territory, hoping to increase its influence in the region, but received an unexpected amount of resistance of ginsag forces from Forfad, led by [[Jeenor Treel]]. This news emboldened ginsags at Homestead and many of them began to rise against Ozder, eventually joining Jeenor Treel's forces. Ozder then backed off and left Homestead.

Jeenor Treel then attempted to unite all ginsags under his banner in order to use the momentum and march on Ozder. He was unsuccessful in persuading the forces of Maksag: [[Trevo Gont]]'s son had proclaimed himself the [[Murdoh]] of Ginsag and disagreed with Treel's expansionist strategy, fearing that the country had no resources after the invasion by Tref.

Jeenor Treel then marched on Ozder, but the campaign proved to be a disaster. Treel approached Ozder from the west, attacking Lu. The battle near Lu, which at first seemed to be a success for ginsags, turned into a protracted two-day operation. Treel's army incurred heavy losses, but eventually occupied Lu, only to be hit by reinforcements from Baat. The siege lasted for two more days and eventually Jeenor Treel was able to maneuver most of his remaining army from the city and back into Homestead. The majority of ginsags then followed him to Forfad.

This left Homestead a neutral territory again, and neither Ozder nor Forfad had any further claims on it. It was mostly populated by former ginsags.
