The Alent Gang War was a conflict between the Union Workers and the Order of the Black Rose which spread from Alent throughout Libaterra in late summer of 1017 AE and lasted for a few but brutal days. Both sides suffered heavy casualties until they figured out that they had been set up by a third faction, and they quickly brokered an uneasy peace again while trying to figure out the identity of the faction which had played them both. The mystery faction eventually turned out to be the Dwarven Triad.
