The Pirate War

PIRATS YUARRR
The Pirate War was the first global conflict since the formation of Everglow, and would also be the first mass usage of black powder weaponry on Terros for use in warfare. It would be called the end of the era of feudal power, when one man, backed by the screaming masses, bloodied the nose of an empire and forced all of the world to take notice. It would be a great and brutal conflict, with the destruction of many historical sites and several of the oldest cities still standing. It would span from Stormrise to Avamor, from Coeur to the Wastes, nobody escaped the conflict without at least a token force wanting them to either commit to the united army, or to try and crush their imperial loving faces. It would be the greatest loss of life since the Second Demon War, and would force the world to witness a new modern age dawning on a world that was still grappling with its new identity.
However, there are always silver linings, and one of the greatest that came about, was a true uniting of the people of Terros under one banner to fight back against what was, at its core, a tyrant trying to supplant the rule of a beloved Monarch as well as the Undying Northern King. 
Make no mistake, Requiem was a tyrant, a charismatic and devious man, and one who studied the accounts of Dominic, of Jarvis, of all the greats who came before him. Those who had the balls to challenge anyone in their way and do whatever it took to take command. Requiem's regime was damn near lawless, but it was alluring to criminals, to veterans, to the crippled and dying Underground, tot he orcs, to savages, to Kyn who were unhappy with Fang's leadership. Requiem promised men and women, money, land seized in the war, anything you could want if you were willing to fight to get it. It was a very hard. He riled up citizens with promises of toppling the goliaths of industry that were enslaving them. He would be liberator and king, and get you whatever you wanted. He was a terrifying individual and he was exceptionally skilled in swordplay, anyone was free to duel him for command, and many took him up on that offer, and every time he would break them and make them submit. He backed up his declarations with dynamic action, and dammit he was not going to deceive the people.
At the end of it all however, there would be those who would reflect on just what the hell was gained by such a massive loss of life. It would have profound rippling consequences in the years to come, and it would be one of the great rallying cries of the uprising to take place to topple the monarchy. This was a brutal conflict, a war with no clear victors, and only a whole lot of losers of varying degree.
