Elemental War

The Elemental War was an era of various power struggles between gods that began 3,000 years ago, although scholars in Yamagakure believe it began over the five divine seats in Celestia. While different regions settled their power struggles at different times, the era drew to a close 2,000 years ago after the final seat was claimed.
With the end of the era came the establishment of a new order. They determined the five element's in the Elemental Nations. There is evidence that the five elements system had existed in the Elemental Nations 12,000 years before the founding of the villages, such as the Five Sovereigns, but there's currently little information to verify that.
==Overview==
How or why the Elemental War began is currently a mystery. Gods were able to coexist relatively peacefully before the War began, so the circumstances that triggered the Elemental War are currently left to speculation. The logistics of the war are also unknown, such as how the nations were divided or how the victors were determined.
According to Yoshiko Ōtsutsuki the founder of the Five Sovereigns, the war began as a struggle over the seven divine seats in Celestia, both for supremacy and to see their plans for a prosperous humanity to come to fruition. However, not all gods participated in the war with the intent of taking a divine seat; some wanted to defend their territory, while others didn't even want to fight and tried to save as many people as possible from the destruction of the war.
An alternate explanation is that the death of gods removed divine seats that previously existed in Celestia, and The Five were either gods who kept their seats by prevailing over the others, or were beings who ascended to godhood after defeating gods of old. Yaba's death resulted in the "crumbling of an ancient seat of divinity,"
