| Date: | c. Av3 628-640 |
| Location: | Black Jungle (Especially the Kiln of Virtuo and Firteid) |

The Tidal War was a conflict fought in the mid-late Third Avihm, sparked by the death of the Tide Queen in Av3 628.
After the Tide Queen's death, the Tidal Dynasty collapsed, and two forces were left to fight for control of the Black Jungle in the new power vacuum: the Grand Parish of Virtuo, who was backed by Insohm, and the Tide Queen's remaining military officials.
The war ended after Maelihs took advantage of the chaos in the region to invade the Kiln of Virtuo and badly wound the Goddess, ripping one of her eyes from its socket. However, he refused to kill her, and returned to the far southwest with the eye as a trophy, shocking the Drehmari population.
This attack on Virtuo reinvigorated the population in her favor, and the Parish declared themselves the rightful rulers of the Kiln and its surrounding lands, granting Insohm a new member state: the Parochial Enclave of Firteid.
