The Great War

The great war reffered to by all peoples was the one of 183 - 185. Perhaps the greatest war in history.

The Great War saw the rise of many beings. Empires. People, Kings; fell, and mortal, and even emperors. In 183 during the War of The Empires, Cinadá was in a state of blood and ashes. The Nàgherellian and Redoranian Empires clashed for control of land, spoils and wealth they'd long been fighting for. Word in the north came down years prior, that a King had taken control of the throne of Daerûgaard; far North. But he'd been overthrown, for the North had been affected greatly by the war waging south. Nazaax his name, had slipped into darkness when he exiled North with his order and his armies. For years in secrecy he'd built and strengthened himself in darkness from Xenovas. And then the war came.

It were Wintersheart, the 11th month in 183. When the Battle of The Northern Passage commenced. Nahgerellian and Redoranian armies battled in blistering cold when the Northern horns sounded for the first time in history. Sparing the beaten Redoranian army. He'd come forth through fog and lain waste, which crippled greatly the empires and their armies. South he marched in great strength with dragons, his lieutenants Daeraak, Aalandal, Zalvaax, Xernithia, and Dagnoloth, and with captain Aedinbûr. Mesthlaam had been burn to crisp in fires that leveled Éudamaer. The Black Knight's were the first respondents, marching down from the mountains hoping to lift the attack led by Black Knight King Gandiva. But to no avail. Mesthlaam lay in waste.

One by one the world had started falling. Nahgerell was invaded and crushed in its defence, and its empire had crumbled from the furthest states to the room of the throne. Redorania fell from within. A loss of its Northern Armies led to collapse and states declaring their separations. Nazaax laid waste to the already weakened world in fire, assaults, and brutal massacres. Southern armies from Cineria were brought forth by Gandiva the Black Knight King. Who led an attack against Nazaax in the centre world within Barasíl. War stalled till defeat. Gandiva, and King Yaaagen of Cineria pulled back to Cineria's borders that were built heavily in magic. By this time much of the world was crippled, enslaved, or served the dark king in his malicious war in the name of Xenovas.

Nazaax led an attack on Cineria in early months of 184. Multiple times he was defeated by the Cinerians, and the Black Knight's holding out there led by their King; Gandiva. Another time he attacked. The Cinerians came out on top. But one last attack was carried out. Denshakyuhlis Aalandal's winged beast, laid waste to Cinestria, the capital. Fire storms burnt the city to destruction as Nazaax attacked again. Thunder and lightning crashing, spewing. Blades of light and dark had commenced till Nazaax's third defeat. The darkened king withdrew North to gather strength in great defeats. And so the Alliance of the free world was forged among the last standing Kingdoms.

The Alliance pulled forces together as Nazaax withdrew North. Redorania beat back multiple siege attempts, as well as Sardengaard. Cineria led an army fronted by the Black Knight's to Barasíl, where Barasíl was liberated joining the war turning in their favour. Emperor Callaes of Redorania led a liberation attack upon Vasillia which joined after weeks of small battles with local forces. The alliances pushed further North into Nàhgerell by the first month 185 which saw Nazaax retreat into the Northernlands.

The Black Knight's led a siege upon Azairideth Gûtol in early 185. The remnants of the Red Circles order in Naddamar who were butchered by the Crusaders of Whitecastle had weakened the fortress from within. King Gandiva of the Black Knight's led an army up the fortress and captured it within a day of terrible fighting. Eventually giving a strong foothold into Nazaax's heartlands. But Nûmentaar saw the base of much of the dark kings army. The Alliance fielded a great army which collided in horrible fighting upon the fields that were lain waste in flames of dragon fire; The Battle of The Flames. The Black Knight King had ultimately destroyed the Black Dragon of the dark world when it had landed upon the open field. Nûmentaar was won laying a clear path to The Black Glacier.

The Black Glacier lay in a sea of the Dark Kings remaining forces. 100,000 strong. The Alliance of the free world marched in blistering cold losing many numbers before reaching there. The battle had commenced with fewer numbers. But the black knights leading the alliance army emerged victorious with the felling of the Lieutenants on open field. The alliance lost numbers so large, it was the greatest loss of human life in any battle in history.

The victory in the Black Glacier saw the final march upon Den Milaak. Led by Gandiva the Black Knight King, and Aeníla Desdrova, head mage of Cineria's council. Nazaax was still too powerful to be defeated. So a spell was a cast the seperated his soul from his body in his tomb. Never to br opened, for he would rise, and re-raise his army. His defeat had come.
