The First Nordic-Lesbian War (390-389 BCE) took place between various Scandinavian groups and the Queendom of Liberated Lesbians over Lesbian settlement and expansion in the area. After a year of back and forth fighting and battles both sides sued for peace with the destruction of homes and deaths of thousands.
The war demonstrated the the fragility of the newly founded Lesbian nation, but the skill of her warriors, with 20 Nordic warriors killed or wounded for every 1 Lesbian. Likewise, the war demonstrated the willingness and savagry of the local Nordic people to defend themselves from what they viewed as erlandr, foreigners; with over 100 Lesbian civilians killed or wounded for every 1 Nordic.
Background
Lesbian settlement
Following their pilgrimage across Europe the Lesbian people landed at First Beach in 397 BCE and founded the Queendom of Liberated Lesbians in 394, then called Giton Lesgyais, meaning "Land of Love and Fair Women". Initially hesitent to expand out of the predetermined boundaries, Queens Glykera and Ischyrē began sending out scouts to look for resources, areas for expansion, and the possibility of other people.
The Lesbian scouts returned with news of rivers, a large fjord, and several small settlements of native Nordic people. Both Nordic and Lesbians were highly suspicious and distrustful of each other, with the Nordics distasting the all-female populace and practice of lesbianism, and the Lesbians distasting the men and heterosexual lives of the Nordics. Despite the distrust between the two groups of people, several Lesbians were sent to learn the Nordic language and teach them theirs, while several Nordic women, as the Lesbians would allow only women, were sent to learn the Greek language of the Lesbians and to teach them their own.
Path to war
In 391, the six nordic women sent to the Lesbian settlement had converted to Lesbianity and began to practice lesbianism, worsening tensions.
In May of that year, two Lesbians were found dead and blame was put on the nordic tribes. Trade also halted as caravans were attacked by rogues on both sides and as the nordics refused to trade many of their resources with the Lesbians.
