The '''Truffle Races''', also known as the '''Truffle Wars''', were a series of conflicts between [[Caphiria]] and [[Burgundie]] in the late-Renaissance period ([[1574]]-[[1602]]) to locate, cultivate, and harvest rare truffles around the world. Throughout most of the 1570s-1590s the conflict was contained to the [[Odoneru Ocean]], [[Sea of Canete]], and [[Sea of Istroya]], but dealing with established relationships and networks of alliances was costly and slow. In the early 1590s a Caphirian explorer found truffles in the [[Zaclaria|Emirate of Zaclaria]] and the races turned into a violent geopolitical struggle for the southern entrance to the [[Aab-e-Farus]]. | The '''Truffle Races''', also known as the '''Truffle Wars''', were a series of conflicts between [[Caphiria]] and [[Burgundie]] in the late-Renaissance period ([[1574]]-[[1602]]) to locate, cultivate, and harvest rare [[Trufficulture|truffles]] around the world.
