The War of the Dark Ages was a major conflict that lasted over 300+ years. The War changed many lives and dropped the human population to low numbers in the thousands. The War crippled every nation that existed and no one has forgotten what happened on that day.
== Background ==
The War of the Dark Ages sparked when Elysia was brought back from the grave by an unknown entity. Elysia destroyed Hallowmere and raged war on every single country in existence. Ryalis and Harpeia attacked first but was met with her undead legion. Created an unstoppable and unbreakable barrier along Hallowmere's outskirts. Elysia attacked Theson, Misbah, Lerof in Misbah and attacked the Country of Isling. Isling was wiped out in a matter of a few hours. 300 years pass by and Elysia unexpectedly vanished. The War ended when the undead quickly died off in an instant. Her stronghold was empty and what was left was just a book of the Dark Arts with pages ripped out.
== Major Battles and Events ==
Note: Keep in mind that many minor battles and skirmishes have occurred throughout the course of the war.
* Haajen Ambush - Ryalis attempted to attack Elysia's stronghold. Failed to breach through the swarm of Undead.
* Fall of Isling - Elysia ordered her Undead Legion to attack Isling. The Country fell in a matter of hours.
* Theson Swamp Massacre Theson Swamp Massacre happened during the night just outside the Swamp.
* Raid of Jeroh's Corner - Jeroh's Corner Raid was one of the few battles won by the humans. Ryalis Forces killed off the Golden Dawn cultists that were helping with the summoning of the undead.
* Destruction of Kalegarth Fortress - Kalegarth was being held hostage by undead and abyssal creatures. Ryalis and the sub groups decide to destroy the explosives hold to try and kill off those around. It instead brought back several thousand undead.
* Battle of Hallowmere - Ryalis and the other groups storm the gates of Hallowmere only to see it barren and abandoned. No sign of Elysia or anyone else.
== End of the War ==
The End of the War was unexpected when Elysia vanished. After the War ended many groups disbanded and people started to fix up cities and abandoned Misbah. Misbah slowly decayed into a desert when Ryalis started mining there again. Castillion was formed into a new country and Ryalis grew stable again. Everyone started to grow back the population at a slow pace. The next 2,000 years. The population is over several million as it was before. A new phenomenon started to occur.... the Earth starts to tremble.
