The War of Death's Edge

The War of Death's Edge was a war between the Force of Existence Magic and Kovit.
The war was started by the Force of Existence Magic out of concern for it's own existence. With magic high on the rise, and the Force of Existence being the force that allows this kind of action, the Force of Existence Magic was being drained of Xolt. It thought it would eventually run out of Xolt, and so in a plight of self preservation it started to rose up against Kovit who was it's master.
The war was costly for both parties as the Force of Existence Magic was defeated and Kovit was wounded so badly she would never be able to recover her full strength again. But, during the fight while the Force was winning the Shadow Night Order saved Kovit and made her their leader.
