War was officially declared in 460 [[HE]] when [[Maggur Rathhausak]], the new King of Scanra, allied many of the Scanran clans by use of hostages. [[Jonathan IV of Conté]], the King of Tortall, was forced to respond to increasing violence and hostility at the border with war.

The Scanran War was waged between Tortall and Scanra. It unofficially began in the late 450s HE with small skirmishes at the border between Tortall and Scanra. It was at this time when Scanrans first began to use killing devices, which were metal monsters that were made by Blayce the Gallan, or the "Nothing Man", and powered by the souls of children. War was officially declared in 460 HE when Maggur Rathhausak, the new King of Scanra, allied many of the Scanran clans by use of hostages. Jonathan IV of Conté, the King of Tortall, was forced to respond to increasing violence and hostility at the border with war. The killing devices were employed throughout 460 HE, until Blayce the Gallan's destruction at the hands of Keladry of Mindelan in the summer of that year.
But even after Blayce's death the war continued for the next two years in various smaller fights—the hill country wasn't the best terrain for real battles—and didn't end until spring of 464 HE.[1]
