Spellcross War

The Spellcross War, also known as the War against Blaain and the True Salvation War, is an interdimensional conflict between the Alliance and the Forces of Darkness. The war was fought for three-five years, preceded by natural-turned-magical calamities meant to weaken all nations. The war ended after months of combat, and the Alliance disbanded despite the wizards of Karadan-Ka warning them of Blaain's return within a century. The war would truly end when the Novayans, in an alliance with Karadan-Ka and several others, that they brought the war to Blaain's doorstep to force the final battle, culminating in the greatest battle of all reality and the decisive defeat and permanent crippling of the Great Dark God Blaain.
==History==
===Prelude===
===Course of the war===
===Novayan involvement===
It was through the Novayan Commonwealth, having been crippled heavily and severely broken by the calamities and having lost 30-40% of its land to the seas yet stalwart and determined to aid the Alliance in waging war against the Forces of Darkness, that the true war would end three years later as part of a revenge campaign. While the Alliance and its allies won, it is the Novayans, a military-industrial contributor to the Alliance's war efforts but a vengeful outcast, who would end Blaain's return and force the last battle - at the cost of not everything, but their own soul and humanity.
During the time of the Spellcross War, the vengeful Novayan military government (which had overthrew the Norsoutha-Tomoshima families in a bloodless coup) concluded an alliance with Karadan-Ka to grant them anything that would see Blaain's ultimate and final defeat. Through this alliance, the Novayan nation improved training for its thaumaturges, turning them into efficient war machines. Throughout the Spellcross War the Novayans rebuild their broken nation under the guise of contributing to the Alliance, but in reality it was all for the sake of bloodthirsty vengeance. The Novayan military government, which had bloodlessly overthrew the Norsoutha-Tomoshima families, made sure to do everything to achieve the goal of vengeance, even if it means sacrificing its industries to foreign corporations.
A massive remilitarization and industrialization programme saw Novaya building the largest military possible, aided by various foreign corporations contracted to build military industries throughout the Novayan nation, masking the intent of bringing the war to Blaain's doorstep to keep all those unaware; few corporations learned the truth, but continued aiding in Novaya's militarization and industrialization projects despite being disturbed by the Novayans' mad quest for vengeance and adoption of ultranationalistic militarism and Esoteric Nazism. It was through this programme that the White Sages saw the Novayans' ugly side rearing its head, revealing their rabid hatred for Blaain and his forces. It was also through this very programme that the Novayans have lost the two things they once had before the calamities and the war: their soul and their humanity, exchanged for self-destructive vengeance.
Where everyone didn't listen to the White Sages of Karadan-Ka or their warnings, the vengeful Novayans did listen, and made use of all opportunities to help bring down Blaain. Expeditions were launched to find the "keys" or artifacts necessary to open portals to Blaain's prison, and with Karadan-Ka's aid managed to do so, at the cost of some expedition members. This allowed the enlarged Novayan Armed Forces to invade Blaain's prison, only to find themselves outnumbered 1000:1. Despite this, the Novayan forces were consumed by their hatred of Blaain that they will do whatever it takes to burn down the remnants of the Forces of Darkness and make Blaain suffer for all they care; their blind vengeance and righteousness powered their hellish determination, as they killed more with their fists and their weapons more than the Alliance had done.
It was through the actions of the Novayans that the battle would later be joined by the reborn Alliance as well as celestial, eldritch and cosmic forces and supernatural and mortal forces who learned of what the Novayans were doing and of cracks in reality caused by the Novayans' invasion. Among the forces fighting against Blaain were the Crusader Commonwealth under Lord Admiral Borealis Norsoutha I and the Terran Commonwealth, a military junta ruling Earth-MATRIX under Admiral Borealis II after leading human and machine forces against the corrupt United Nations. The combined might of those who fought against the Forces of Darkness as well as those defected from it helped overcame Blaain and his forces; Blaain, who was supposed to be invincible, was permanently crippled a million times over by various nuclear and anomalous attacks. Faced with another overwhelming barrage, Blaain finally surrendered after being bombarded and crippled, finally putting a de facto end to the war and cementing total victory for the Alliance.
==Aftermath==
The Spellcross War have changed the political alignment and social structure of Armanya and ever other worlds that survived the onslaught. The Alliance, once an international-turned-interdimensional military alliance, would later become the main ruling body of Armanya and her interplanetary colonies, consisting of the nations of Armanya as well as arriving refugees and refugee-nations. The return of magic to Armanya saw social structural changes as well as the return of old religions (pagan faiths were reformed, with few still following unreformed pagan faiths) and the arrival or creation of new 'artificial' religions; the return of 'dormant' gods, who were in hiding, also returned to the fold, transforming Armanya and her colonies into active interplanetary sociopolitical and socioreligious scenes.
Nations that suffered from the war immediately banded up into regional blocs and moved towards economic recovery and expansion. Interplanetary colonies would see their expansion and established throughout the Luna System to allow for the housing of colonists and refugees. Several ideologies such as fascism, ultranationalism, communism and socialism will return with the addition of a slow increase in trends toward Enlightened Socialism (then an ideology only present in Novaya), Third Positionism, and Esoteric Nazism (albeit sanitized as Esoteric Enlizism and Esoteric Fascism). Finally, the Alliance will have established control throughout the Neath and the High Wilderness, Ente Isla, the World of Eve, Terra, and a few other worlds as part of the Treaty of Armanya.
===Post-war reconstruction efforts===
====Miracles of the Novayan Archipelago====
Despite having forced the final battle and won the war with all those that were forced to join, the Novayan Commonwealth continued its self-destructive militarization and industrialization programme. Refusing to adhere to all, the Novayans shut themselves from those, even the gods, and kept marching towards their own self-destruction; the overseas Novayans who weren't at the archipelago were forced to adapt to the situation. Reports of development of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, incendiary and thaumaturgical weapons of mass destruction led to condemnations, though the Novayan military junta didn't respond to such acts, making the world fear for the Novayans to committing a slow but enduring self-genocide powered only by hatred. The suffering they went through at the hands of the Hispanians during colonial times had evolved to the very festering hate after the war's beginning.
And then, Yahweh - one of the supreme gods and the most benevolent and friendly God - appeared before the now-broken Novayan people. Initially hostile to him, Yahweh turned off all thaumaturgical and conventional weapons before declaring Himself to be acting on the behalf of the overseas Novayans and their allies. He immediately forced the Novayan military junta to a diplomatic table with the leaders of various nations and the Alliance, and the gods involved. Attempts to convince the Novayan military leaders failed, and then Yahweh's son Jesus asked them what they truly wanted before stating what they want: peace, a better world, a world with no injustices and betrayals, and to never be alone once again. Such a sentence stings the Novayans who have always wanted such things before they became broken, and this was enough to break the Novayan people once again, this time regaining their humanity, their soul, their sanity.
After sending off the Novayan military leadership back to their home, the disbanded Alliance leadership discussed with the gods on what to do. The discussion resulted in the reformation of the Alliance into an interplanetary government, and a number of nations were targeted for reconstruction efforts, one of which is the broken Novayan Commonwealth. Many - especially those among the refugee-nations - would think the Novayan archipelago could be rebuilt before resources were better spent rebuilding other nations, but several foreign leaders stated that the Novayan Commonwealth is responsible for expanding the Space Race from a two-way race to an all-out race and that its very military-industrial complex has been used to produce civilian goods. In addition, its very presence in Atelansia and the Pacific meant that it would be able to kickstart the other Atelansian and Pacific economies.
In order to kickstart what was to be called the Miracle of the Novayan Archipelago, Novayan communities in Europa, Fuso, Bravneka, the Amerigos, and the Middle East began taking up jobs and sending such money to the Novayan government; to prevent said communities from ever becoming bankrupt, the local, regional and even national governments made their commodities free of charge for them to purchase. Next the United North American States, Saiyanese Federation, Union of Bravnekan Republics, Chinese Federation and Europan Union provided reconstruction aid to the Novayan government. In the Fusoan Empire, the shogunate established five governorates in Kanegawa, Kumamoto, Miyazaki, Mie and Wakayama prefectures to allow the Novayan communities there to work and send money.
