The Keldagrim–Troll Country War is a longstanding conflict between the two nations from which its name is derived.

Keldagrim was founded during the Third Age, when a dwarven tribe fled beneath the mountain range east of the Fremennik Province in order to escape the God Wars.[1] Cut off from the world above, the dwarves remained ignorant of the end of the God Wars. This changed when the Trolls launched an invasion against the city sometime in the Fourth Age, thus beginning the Keldagrim-Troll Country War.[2]

Little is known about the war between the dwarves and trolls. Colonel Grimsson gets the name "Butcher of Barendir" from his actions in the conflict. During the Battle of Barendir, Grimsson mercilessly slaughtered the trolls as they were retreating.[3]

The war ultimately resulted in a victory for the dwarves. The Wise Old Man played a pivotal role in driving out the trolls from Keldagrim.[4][5][6] After this battle, the attacking trolls were forced back to Weiss.[7] It is unknown if this battle was the Battle of Barendir or a later conflict.
