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.

The Martillien North Levantine Trading Company (MNLC) made a play for access to the markets of the Zaclarian truffle market but were given unfavorable terms compared to the Caphirian merchants. They were instead forced to trade, second-hand, through the bizarres of the island of Chaukhira, a subject of the Emirate of Zaclaria, and only had access to lesser quality/sized truffles. In 1584,
