**The Third Roth Emergence**, alternatively known as **the Roth War**, is an ongoing conflict between an alliance comprised of the Kánitorian Empire, the Solustran Confederation and various Ferallander tribes dubbed the Vultierran Union and the Roth Tribe of the Ferallands since 202X. The Roth War was the result of years of political tension between the Roth and various tribes of the Ferallands, the Solustrans - and more recently, the Kánitorian Empire. While the tensions between the Roth, the Ferallands and Solustra have been brewing for years, a formal decision to take action wasn't made until Kánitore, Solustra and the Ferallands arranged an alliance between their nations after an attempted raid targeting the Kánitorian Embassy in Solustra. This would ultimately lead to a formal declaration of war on the Roth by the Kánitorian Empire and it's new allies, which marked the beginning of the Southern Hemisphere's first major war in over 300 years, as well as the first diplomatic contact between the Kánitorian Empire and the Ferallands since Empress Antigone's rule over 1000 years prior.

## Media Coverage and Controversy

The only method of documentation that was available during previous conflicts in recent history like the War of Land and Air, the War of Three Empires and the Kánitorian Civil War were art such as paintings, sculptures and drawings as well as literature like newsletters and firsthand accounts written by soldiers who lived to tell the tale. Since the last major conflict in the Southern Hemisphere over three centuries ago, technology had taken monumental strides - making firsthand documentation and relaying information of such events easier, more accurate and more accessible to the public than it was before. The news of the war's outbreak garnered immense attention from media outlets and journalists alike that prompted many in the field from developed nations (including Kánitore, Kaulseg, Deloria and Rickland) to risk their lives so they could flock to the battlefields and capture real-time footage and photographs of the war with cameras.
