Capital Decimation War

== Overview ==
The Capital Decimation war was a cataclysmic event in the history of the Capital; a gang war occurring between September and November of 202 AG. The conflict saw a fundamental realignment of the underworld of the Capital, and resulted in a three month period where various crime syndicates fought in bloody open warfare to claim victory after a period of deep suppression during the Occupation of the Capital in the Uprootings. Sighting their chances, few gangs or syndicates which were operation prior to the Uprootings survived the conflict. The war also inflicted greatly upon the experience of civilians in the Capital, with the city essentially being shut for all but essential travel. The Wrennoc Congregate, headed by Helmontan Matriarch Ophellaer Fyth, notably was required to dispatch food and drink to the most needy owing to destroyed supply chains worsening poverty. Eventually, the war was ended as the institutions of the Capital regained law & order, though the role this had to play in bringing the conflict to a close was debated; by November of 202 AG the fact of the matter was that very few gangs remained to sustain the conflict, leading many to argue that new institutions such as the Council Magnus only marginally hastened the closure of the conflict.
== Outcomes ==
=== The Righteous Blade ===
The Righteous Blade dislodged from their once dominant position in crime hierarchy and utterly obliteration. 
=== The Cobalt Spectres ===
=== Order ===
Order were the unlikely victors, the bloody war resulted in a toughened leadership who were lucky to survive, but who were also now hardened fighters in the crime world.
=== Death's Arm ===
=== Oppidan Victors ===
The Oppidan Victors, already being allied with Order, agreed to be subsumed into the former gang, assisting in the creation of a fully fledged crime syndicate shortly thereafter thanks to Tórval Jävri. 
=== Gang of the Assorted League ===
=== The Mercenaries of the Golden Line ===
Similarly to the Oppidan Victors, the Mercenaries of the Golden Line also agreed to be subsumed into Order. However, unlike the Victors, the Mercenaries were far more organised, and began as rivals to Order. In the eventual merger, they provided much needed muscle to allow for the Aporic Order to be declared.
