Crimson War

The Crimson War was a massive continental war that sparked from the Red Claw's invasion of Funonzi. The invasion began when the sorceress Clavia Vyke was able to assimilate the physical form of the archfey Corellon into her hivemind, giving her power over the fey in the Material Plane. With this newfound power, she quickly launched a full assault on the elven city of Sungate and successfully claimed it for the Red Claw. The Red Claw continued to conquer more of Funonzi over the next twenty years, but their efforts were met with resistance by the newly formed Blue Star, led by the mighty crusader Astran. The Blue Star liberated the city of Moongate from Clavia's control and allied with the still free cities of Baragoon and Degano. This alliance worked together to drive the Red Claw out of their lands, leading to a ceasefire that lasted twenty more years. This ceasefire ended when the Red Claw launched a full-scale assault on Baragoon, led by the blue dragon Azulan, who had been waiting until the famed Ten Legends were far away from the Blue Star's territories. The Red Claw successfully took Baragoon and then marched west to Moongate. Meanwhile, Degano had already secretly allied with the Red Claw, dissolving the alliance of the Blue Star. When all hope was lost, the Ten Legends ventured deep into Red Claw territory to confront Clavia Vyke, and ultimately slew her before she could successfully transform the Source into a conduit for her hivemind.
