The Discordia Crisis officially began in 1502 after Discordia was released from the Time Loop she was raised in. Discordia felt angry at the deities for taking away her chances at a normal early life and vowed to corrupt Mekkan in order to fight back against the deities.

## The Rescue of Brenna

Initially, Discordia began by corrupting a small number of kitsune in order to get out of the Wasteland, she tracked Harmonia (then Takuyu Itok) to Buckwood where she corrupted a few groups of Cervidans in order to assist in getting her to the gate. She tricked Ivy into sitting down in her humanoid form to share tea; however, she used this opportunity in order to corrupt Ivy into a being of Chaos as a means to convert the entirety of Brenna. The Gate Guardians realised something was wrong after the corruption began to spread, though were unable to stop the Chaos Paint from expanding across the Tree of Ceres. A group of travellers who were guided by Harmonia found the focus for the Staff of Fertility and were assisted in repairing the artefact by ranger, managing to use it to clear out the corruption and repair the damage done to Brenna and the tree of Ceres.

## The Battle of the Isle of Flight

Discordia escaped to the Isle of Flight, where she spent some time attempting to corrupt the islands. She managed to gather up a large group of corrupted Avians with whom she planned to invade Midnight. Before she could proceed too far with her attack on the Isle of Flight, many powerful avians began hunting her down resulting in a large battle which ultimately forced Discordia to retreat after she corrupted a few more Avians. On her retreat she encountered Harmonia while she was hiding from a horde of angered Avians. Despite Discordia's exhaustion after the battle, Harmonia allowed her to escape due to realising that defeating her here would not be sufficient to show her a better way in life.

## The Corruption of Midnight

After recovering from her failed attempt to take over the Isle of Flight, Discordia travelled to Midnight where she corrupted several smaller packs. She formed a small army of Wolvians who treated her as their alpha, using these Wolvians, Discordia was able to spread her corruption further. During her capture of Midnight, she corrupted a Wolvian by the name of Rako who served as a higher up officer in Discordia's army, leading the Wolvians. Around this time Discordia also met Glacina who joined Discordia out of a personal vendetta against the deities, she was also placed in a higher position and was not corrupted by Discordia.

A Wolvian by the name of Frost Cryptic escaped Discordia's grasp and reached the relatively newly formed Union of Exploration and Assistance, a guild run by Leona, Harmonia, Skyla and Riley, Frost helped a group from the guild navigate Midnight and helped recover several Wolvian packs in an attempt to rise up against Discordia. The group freed most of the corrupted Wolvians left in Midnight however many of the stronger Wolvians had been taken with Discordia for her next invasion attempts. The Discordia Crisis caused a large shift in power between many packs, resulting in new packs forming and old packs dissolving, a notable example of this was the dissolution of the largest Fire Wolvian pack after Coal (the alpha of the major fire pack) fell in love with Tide (the alpha of the major water pack), resulting in some members of the fire pack joining Tide's pack while others split off and formed a new Fire pack to replace the old. Many other changes took place within this time.

## The Avernus Incident

Discordia and a small team of her corrupted army split off and travelled to Avernus, here they were able to corrupt a number of Salamanders and captured a part of the Eternal Flame, giving it to Rako to use. Eventually the number of Salamanders which came to repel Discordia grew too large and she was forced to retreat, however this was not until many Salamanders had been corrupted, increasing Discordia's army significantly. Discordia escaped Midnight through Sanguina where she corrupted a few individuals; however, she did not intend to focus on Sanguina as she felt her army was now powerful enough to spread chaos throughout the world after she gained her 8th tail.

## The Battle for the Amber Isles

While Discordia and Rako took a portion of the corrupted army to Avernus, Glacina took took charge of an assault on the Amber Isles. Much of the country was quickly captured however the main university building held strong as a bastion of safety for the strongest of Elves. Eventually Discordia and Rako's group rejoined Glacina and worked to capture the lower levels of the University building with Rako remaining at the bottom as the first line of defence against any outside forces. Many of Discordia's corrupted warriors stormed the building in order to spread the Chaos Paint throughout the University and eventually Glacina was left to assist in defending also. Discordia made her way to the top of the building where she began preparing to unleash her ultimate strategy having been given her ninth tail by the deities in order to assist Harmonia's plan to stop her.

Harmonia led a group into the Amber Isles in order to stop Discordia, in the process he persuaded the deities to temporarily give himself and Discordia access to their ninth tails in order to teach Discordia that even with her complete power she could get more out of becoming good. Harmonia and his team managed to break through the forces of corrupted Elves in order to reach the University building, where the group battled Rako, quickly trying to take her down before she could use the piece of the Divine Flame she had taken. They continued until they reached Glacina, where Frost stayed behind to battle using their Werewolf and Sun Wolf forms.

While Harmonia and his team worked on reaching Discordia, she began using the power of her ninth tail to cause her Chaos Paint to rain across the entire planet of Mekkan. Across the world many people began to succumb to corruption; however, Discordia did not manage to take over everyone as Harmonia arrived before her plan could be completed. Harmonia tried to persuade Discordia to stop but was forced to fight her briefly, the battle caused a large amount of damage to the University. Eventually Harmonia managed to weaken Discordia enough to stop the spread of her corruption, using the opportunity to make her see things from a new perspective, as a result causing Discordia to slowly relinquish control over the corrupted individuals.

## Result

Discordia was ultimately defeated by Harmonia during The Battle for the Amber Isles. Her army was freed from the corruption caused by the Chaos Paint in their bodies and slowly returned to normal at which point they were assisted in returning to the places they had been taken from. Harmonia, Discordia and Glacina were taken to see their parents for a period of time in order to help resolve the underlying problems that caused Discordia and Glacina to attempt to seize control in an attempt to depose the deities.

Many of the individuals who had been mentally affected by being controlled were offered assistance in recovering from the ordeal, while many were capable of returning to normal quite fast. Locations that had been seriously damaged by the situation were given assistance in order to rebuild quickly.

The overall death count for the Discordia Crisis was unbelievably low due to the fact that Discordia intended to simply control the worlds population; however, several lives were lost in the attack on Midnight due to the brutal fighting style of the non-corrupted Wolvians. Harmonia's side applied a strict no kill policy in order to reduce harm, with the only exceptions being allowed if no other choices were available.

## Aftermath

Buckwood was relatively unaffected after Discordia's Chaos Paint had been cleared from Brenna and the Tree of Ceres. Ivy was given extra care after the incident in order to help her mentally recover however this was the only major long term issue.

The Isle of Flight suffered more damages in Discordia's attack and a push for international cooperation assisted in providing support in repairing much of the damage. Many of the individuals that Discordia corrupted were given free and easy access to mental health services in order to assist in their recovery. A similar situation took place to a lesser degree in Avernus, where the damage was much less notable.

Midnight was vastly altered by the incident, resulting in the ultimate dissolution of many packs when members of these packs joined forces or split from their original packs. Much chaos ensued distinct from Discordia's corruption as many of the packs fought to reclaim land or seize power from other packs after the incident however this mostly calmed down by around 1510-1520 with the assistance of Frost along with Snowball's pack.

Major damages were caused to the main University building in the Amber Isles, repairs were handled soon after the Discordia Crisis ended with further international support. Much of the education facilities were temporarily shut down in favour of ensuring the safety and stability of many of the affected individuals.

Harmonia, Discordia and Iolia worked together on getting their ninth tails; they eventually managed to push the Kitsune Council to open the borders of the country with the assistance of Ray and Espie. Discordia was forced to give a public apology for her crimes in each country she attacked, excluding Midnight due to the culture of the Wolvians. For the Wolvians, Discordia privately travelled to Midnight to secretly assist in the recovery and occasionally allowed herself to be captured by Wolvians as a form of self-punishment due to the harshness the Wolvians would treat her with. Using her advanced understanding of Sex Magic, she sped up any pregnancies; this put a lot of strain on her body, though Erin Wedlocke made efforts to prevent any of Discordia's abilities spreading along with frequently helping her daughter recover.

Even in the present day, Discordia refuses to use her Chaos Paint to corrupt others for any reason, even if it would be possible to argue that it is justified. She has relatively frequent therapy sessions to assist in limiting her tendency to beat herself up over her past actions.
