The War of 704 is a fictional war in Melanie Rawn's novel, Dragon Prince, which is the first book in the Dragon Prince Trilogy. The War of 704 was mainly between Rohan of the Desert and High Prince Roelstra. The seeds of this war had been planted at the Rialla of 698, Rohan's first as ruling Prince. The Desert and Princemarch, the seat of the High Prince, had always been at odds, but Roelstra's vast dislike of Prince Zehava, Rohan's father, turned to hatred for Rohan and his Sunrunner Princess, Sioned.
