The Black-Blooded War

"In the vast lands of the world, between hell’s infernal heart and heaven’s sacred womb, great chaos reigns in the far reaches of Harandal. The vast nations, races, and tribes of the world suffer the fate of a violent war; slicing and crushing one another with crude mania." -The introduction to Valhalla: The Story of the First Sage.

The Black-Blooded War is a major war prevalent in both My Normal Obsession and Valhalla: The Story of the First Sage. It was a nearly global war that took place from 1635-1642, and has resulted in many Pharan bombings and Storik-induced massacres. There are still mentions of the war in When the Sun Dies and a memorial to The Doctor in Adamantium (even though he's still alive). Although Valhalla was written before the Russia-Ukraine war, please note that this is just a coincidence, and the novel does not aim to mock or profit off of war victims.
