| Type: | Military alliance |
| Founded: | 579 CY |
| Members: | Nyrond, Almor, Iron League |
| Enemies: | Great Kingdom |
In 579 CY, in response to increased militarism of the Great Kingdom, several nations including Nyrond, Almor, and the Iron League (Idee, Irongate, Onnwal, Lordship of the Isles and Sunndi) band together to form the Golden League. This military union declares war on the Great Kingdom in late Needfest. The Great Kingdom replies in kind in 579 and the short War of the Golden League unfolds.
A series of naval battles in Relmor Bay soon follows, but by the end of 580 CY, a stalemate ensues. The Golden League holds firm and remains sovereign, although the Great Kingdom prevents the alliance from expanding or aiding its armies via naval support.
The war gains very little for either side, instead draining manpower and money leading up to the Greyhawk Wars, which break out in 582 CY.
