Gridania Vs. Ishagard. Who won?

[Azurymber]

So Gridania and Ishgard have fought a bunch of times. And apparently The Battle of Dragonfall was was a tragic one. So I'm wondering if anyone has come across the reason as to why it was tragic, and who won?

my bad... what was i thinking.... asking a question about simple lore in on a message board for an mmoRPG

[Seif]

Gridania naturally!

The troops of Ishgard fell asleep in the woods due to the boring environment and lost all will to rule over such area.

Azurymber,
your attempt at proving that there is some awesome lore hidden in this game is futile.
Of course you are able to dig up something after specifically searching for it, but that's
hardly the point.

Good lore tells itself throughout gameplay in a convincing and captivating manner.
Not by scanning NPC and database entries.

Fail.

I JUST LIKE GRIDANIA'S LORE AND I'M CURIOUS!!!!! I talked to an NPC in the Archer guild during an archer quest im doing where i'm headed over to owl's nest and they mentioned it....

Why can't someone just give me a straight up answer instead of trying to troll the post ><

[Laiferr]

Calm down. Nobody has given you a straight answer because not only is this post is pretty new, most of us don't know the answer. Although I do agree you should wait for the game to explain the story itself.

Straight answer:
Nobody knows, and most likely nobody cares.
Ishgard has been kept off in a vaccuum-sealed package for almost a year now.
Most of its residents should already have suffocated.
Why care for a dead people?

P.S.: I doubt the developers know. That would require a fleshed-out timeline of historical events.

They didn't even manage to flesh out the first round of holiday events.
