First Mythic War

The First Mythic War was, according to the principles of Senlo Dei, a war that erupted soon after the creation of Lai Lioran and Donia.

## Summary

### The Second Moot

Soon after the First Races had established their cities and begun worship of the Greater Deities, the murder god Zhav had realized that, although each of the Greater Deities had their own realm, there was no god that had claimed Donia. Deciding to investigate further, he spoke with Mazdril and the two made an alliance so that they could control the First Races of Donia. Arriving on the planet, the two began to create wonders for the people, while destroying those who would not bend to their will. They showed special aggression towards the worshippers of Zoli, and the sun god moved to intervene. After a brief but bloody encounter, the rest of the Greater Deities arrived and formed the Second Moot to resolve the conflict between the gods. Although the meeting went well for a majority of the run, Zhav managed to anger Zoli to a point that, when the meeting ended, Zoli threw a discus at Zhav. With this act of aggression, the gods split into factions, and war began.

### The First Offensive

With the battle officially begun, the gods split into four groups. Zoli, Seyvim, and Skunrei formed an alliance to counter Zhav's alliance with Mazdril, Kaeor (who had a friendship with Zhav), and Samdar. Aeldus swore assistance to the First Races on both sides of the conflict, with the goal to eventually ease into peace. Meanwhile Aeko, Leumus, Sunari, and Sylvas opted to stay away from the conflict, tending to their own realms and supporting their followers on Donia. This neutrality would not last long, however, as the two major godly alliances (and circumstance) would drag the other gods into the war.

The first offensive of the war saw Zoli's faction fighting directly with Zhav's faction on the surface of Donia, on the opposite side of the planet to Lerania, as to not involve the First Races in the conflict. Though Zoli saw initial success in the war, Kaeor managed to wound Skunrei, who temporarily fled. Without their strategist, were subject to Samdar's tsunamis, and eventually the two retreated, with Zoli firing arrows back at his enemies. One of the arrows missed, however, flying to Lerania and destroying a settlement of Sunari. Outraged, Sunari joined the conflict on the side of Zhav.

### The Second Offensive

After Zoli and Seyvim retreated, they met back with Skunrei, who had fled to the company of Aeko. The wind goddess had heard the stories of the conflict from Skunrei and, seeing the sky as a domain shared with Zoli, she opted to join the conflict as well. Eventually, she would also draw Leumus into the fold. Though Skunrei now wanted peace after their defeat, Mazdril had sent an envoy revealing his sexual relationship with Sunari and his rape of Yaisar, a loyal priest of Zoli. Angered, Zoli opted to continue the conflict. Aeldus confronted Yaisar about the assault and, after this was confirmed, begrudgingly joined Zoli in the war.

With this new alliance forged, Zhav directly attacked Lerania. Unable to locate Zoli's alliance, who had hidden in the sky as they planned, Mazdril decided to directly attack the First Races who swore allegiance to Zoli's alliance, enslaving the mortals. Seeing this, Zoli's group then intervened and the two groups fought, scarring the surface of Lerania. From here, Moradi themself finally entered the scene.

### The First Peace

Suddenly putting a stop to the conflict, Moradi called together the Third Moot. Here, Moradi made a statement: if a god was to be killed in the Material Plane, they would be sent to the Underworld until Moradi decided to free them. This was meant as a way to stave off conflict on Donia but, as the war just passed was known as the *First* Mythic War, this peace would not last.
