"Units of soldiers were sent to protect each shipment, but they barely made it back. In the end, a few regions banded together and decided to take it by force. The king tried to reason with them, but the tribes just aren't accepting that everyone is treated as equal. They think humans are stealing most of the food and are hiding it for themselves.
I also felt doubtful, so I gathered info from other places, but it is indeed true that there was no attempt at discrimination by the royalty—maybe some soldiers or other regions' human lords intervened in some cases and made the situation too far gone. The king had to act strictly against the rebellion, so he fought and lost. The tribes are not coming inside because they consider this city sacred. They believe in the same god, and this city has a sacred temple they believe their god's essence lives in."
All three of them nodded.
