## History

### The Wrathmirian Civil War

Also known as the war of the lions, the country of Wrathmire is currently gripped in a brutal civil war. The war is fought between the Wrathmirian Purification Army (WPA) and the Ankor Nationalists Party (ANP), with both sides vying for full control of the country. The WPA has its capital in Vulcangarde, a bustling city on the ashen plains of Wrathmire. They are lead by Steis Tauranik, the king of Wrathmire, and their emblem is a wrathmirian ashlands lion. The ANP has its capital in Castran a port city sitting on the western shore of the country. They are lead by Secre Imperas and their emblem is a skunara, a nimble mountain lion native to the volcanic slopes.

Ankor-human relations have been historically good in wrathmire, with ankors being an unrepresented but well respected ethnic group in the human controlled country. However, the recent century has seen a sharp decline in this friendliness with the relationship between the two nations worsening every decade. Tensions grew over territory disputes a few years after wrathmire wanted to build industrial projects on protected ankor sacred land. The ankor refused to give up their protection rights, but the government went ahead and built it anyway, causing a full on rebellion to break out. The two western regions of the country, Vaala and Endria, where the density of ankor were much higher, succeeded and formed the ANP. While the ANP's official statement was to win independence for the regions of Vaala and Endria, some believe that they intend to annex more land over to their newly created nation. of War has been raging with increased ferocity ever since.

There is suspicion that Steis Tauranik, using the war as a cover and his people's ingrained hatred of the them as fuel, plans a near genocide of the ankor in order to gain a better control over the entire country without threat of rebellion. He is extremely prejudice and considers the ankor to be insolent pests that prevent him from running his country the way he sees fit.
