War of the Ender Kingdoms

 **Ender Watchers**

* Entirety of the  Ender Watchers
	+ Dragonspire's Forces

	+ End Witch Coven's Forces
	+ Dragon Tower's Forces
* **Void Kingdom Forces**
	+ Fleet of End Ships
	+ Legion of Voidlings, Vexes and Endermen

The **War of the Ender Kingdoms** was a war between the  Void Kingdom and all other Ender Kingdoms. The Void Lord instigated the conflict, scheming to collect the End Crystals to enhance his power and conquer the other dimensions. He invaded kingdoms which objected to his conquest — most of the End adhered to a pacifist doctrine — and turned them into his vassals. At its peak, the Void Kingdom controlled all but four of the Ender Kingdoms. Under Ceris' initiative, the surviving nations formed an alliance called the  Ender Watchers and exploited one of the Void Lord's weaknesses to take down his regime. After the war, the Void Lord was deprived of much of his power and banished to the Overworld.

The war is the subject of the eponymous prequel series. It is unknown exactly when the war occurred. However, it could not have been more than three centuries before *Fractures*, as that is how old Ceris is.

## Prompt

It powered our ships. Channeled our sorceries, and provided sustenance for everyone. It was life for the Ender Kingdoms. each Ender Lord treasured them at heart.
Lance, Lord of the Void Islands spent more than half of his lifetime studying the potency of End Crystals.
He learned that combining them all will bring upon new greater powers, turning The End into an unstoppable empire. All other species will be inferior, and they can spread their dominion towards the Nether and Overworld.
However, that is the sole reason the crystals must be separated. The Ender Lords are already happy with inward perfection. Invading other worlds is against the Ender philosophy. Lance was mocked by the Ender Lords, telling him years of isolated studying made him insane.
Little did they know.. Lance was never asking for their permission. He was already raising his army of creatures from the void; he was only buying time..
Then... when everyone was at their most comfortable, Lance began his invasion. His fleet of End Ships was like no one has ever seen. It blanketed the stars, raining destruction from above.
His voidlings, vex, and endermen plowed through the armies of those who opposed his goal. He was unstoppable in a matter of a few years.
He gathered more than half of the crystals and vassalized the weaker kingdoms.
My family, the End Witch Coven along with a few kingdoms in the far south remained untouched. Benevolent lords and ladies who stand as the last legs of this warring realm.
Lord Vordus, Guardian of the Dragon Tower.
Lord Zeganirn, the Apex End Dancer and father of the Endstone Deltas.
Matriarch Ceris, the First Dragon Tamer and renowned warlord of Dragonspire.
Ceris gathered all surviving kingdoms and formed the Ender Watchers, a coalition to defeat Lance's tyranny.

Subjugating lesser species is not the way of the Ender people and it's up to us to restore order in the Ender Kingdom.
