Grashkaar
Grashkaar started out as a thought experiment: "What if peace was used as a weapon of war?"
This was then followed by the thought: "How could that backfire?"
The empire had a problem with the Steppe Orcs, and sent a fake missionary to turn them peaceful. Problem solved, thought the empire.
Well, orcs are a warrior people, and have a breeding rate based on constant war, so suddenly the problem went from raids to a mass of orcs slowly pushing empire settlements back, and fighting them would unleash this mass as warriors again.
I guess it shows that there are no simple solutions.
