**Great Morze War** or known by its many other names, **The Great War, The Morze War, World War**, often abbreviated as **GMW, TGW, MW** or **WW**, was a war involving the entire world of Lurra that lasted from 2091 to 2109. The war had two opposing military alliances: the World Alliance and the Morze Belligerent powers. In a total war directly involving more than 100 million personnel, all participants threw their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities behind the war effort, blurring the distinction between civilian and military resources. The Morze War was by far the deadliest conflict in history; resulting in more than 400 million casualties, mostly among civilians.

## Course of the War

not final lmao

feel free to add and change stuff idk

### Prelude (Pre 2091)

Following the joint Morze-Zelkovanian war against the Empire of the Rising Tide, The Morze Dictatorship took large western territories from the Empire while the Union of Zelkovania Republics took Avrobania and Zonian territories. The Union was confused as the Morze was supposed to hand over most territories to them, and simply waited as it may have been a mistake. In the meantime, the Morze has been awaiting for the Prophecy of Alignment; The Leak, to begin their millennia long plan.

### Outbreak of War (2091-2094)

The arrival of the Leak has arrived, the planet surrounded by Sytor energy, due to the planets natural immunity, the leak did not go through until it found the weakest spot of the barrier, above Veritas. From there the leak forced its way through, what the Morze was waiting for. The many reactors they had set up in Veritas beforehand began harvesting Sytor, a very powerful energy that surpasses any known form of power generation, surpassing nuclear fusion, antimatter, magic reactors and others.

Funneling this energy to the gate, the Morze would power up the Eclecian weapon, The Exitium Tower. The target would be key military locations and population centers of the Union of Zelkovania Republics. The weapon activates, and multiple locations around Zelkovania are bombarded with an invisible energy of Sytor. Before any realization sets in, the people in the affected areas go under extreme pain, then insanity, and with too much Sytor, their souls become distorted, eventually mutating their very physical being, becoming an Eldritch monster in the process. Due to this weapon being a prototype, it broke in the process and repairs would begin, however seeing the weapons success, they began modifications to use it on a global scale, and with the amount of Sytor needed for such a scale, would begin storing large amounts.

With the weapon activated, the Morze began a large ground invasion of the Union, sweeping through their lands unimpeded as their military is in chaos. Smaller military forces would try to fend off the invaders to no avail, others would be decimated by the Eldritch beasts, some would be encircled quickly, while the Iron Bulwarks, the Unions elite forces, would be stuck up north in Fulvifahren and cannot advance south to defend the homeland. The invasion of the Union was done with extreme efficiency that it was expected this Superpower would fall within a few years. During the invasion, the Tamir Kingdom would fall, the Republic of Khonesia loses its territories to the south, and the Coltax Kingdom would lose its western territories.

The Morze coming to the decision that Zelkovania is out of the picture, they begin invading the next superpower, The Empire of the Rising Tide. Still reeling from the previous war against the supposed Morze-Zelkovania alliance, the Empire could not do much to stop their advance. The Empire is quickly pushed south, fighting a huge frontline that they cannot handle. Their former loyal colony, Nagato, would come to their aid, successfully landing in the Empires soil to reinforce their lines and even successfully invading the Velarian islands. Some Zelkovanians who managed to make their way to the Empire would join forces with them. The Morze, rather angry at this inconvenience, ramped up their attacks, eventually pushing out the Empire completely out of Baalia. The Empire would evacuate what forces they can muster and as much people as they can to the Nagato islands, and would burn all experiments held in Hugin and Munin. Meanwhile to the north, despite all odds the Zelkovanians have successfully reorganized.

Their military reorganized, the Union began a daring massive counteroffensive, bringing out any weapons they can muster, no matter how heavy, no matter how old, a weapon is a killer. The Morze having enough, does their own counteroffensive, slowly pushing back the Union north despite their best efforts. Their advance would stop upon reaching the Unions fabled Iron Bulwark Fortress Lines, but they would continue to besiege them, after all it would only be a matter of time before even the strongest bastion crumbles.

The concerning events led to the Formet Kingdom, Republic of Pantalguese, Republic of Khonesia, Galuwan and the Coltax Kingdom to form an alliance against this threat, and attempted communications with the others, to no success as the Morze had isolated communications, and the skies above, waters across and the abyss below are already being patrolled to prevent messengers.

### Invasion of Fereid (2094-2097)

With the major threats eliminated in Baalia, it was time for the south. Using the devices that's been spread around Xel'han for a millennia, they activate them and begin controlling the puppets. In a surprise to all of the Fereidites, the Xel'hans which were known to be peaceful had begun invading with such brutality that it brought disbelief that these were the same people they knew. A massacre had began in the Tiragale Kingdom. Civilians are killed without warning, unarmed men, women and children simply going about their day suddenly have their blood covering the walls, the ground, the houses, and the fields.

Once more, a successful experiment for the Morze, as the Xel'hian puppets quite literally do not feel fear and pain. They would now begin landing in northern Fereid, at the shores of Nagato and the Durug-Makto Commonwealth. Tiragale would quickly evacuate what they can towards the south, to Sanjiel and Hanshel, were they would be taken in as refugees. Their foreign territories, the falklands, were unable to respond fast enough due to the distance, and would instead arrive in time to assist the Commonwealth against the invasion. The Einheitspakt, along with the Confederation of Oskadia, begin amassing troops in preparation of the worrying threat. The Republic of Peimpob begins supplying weapons to the Einheitspakt but would ultimately stay out of the war effort for the time being.

Bringing devastation, the Morze found it too easy and now believed they were ready to sow chaos across the world and bring this conflict globally. Making preparations for what would officially spark this Great War, one thing is certain, the world will never be the same again.

### Global Conflict Arises (2097-2101)

Having gathered influence in the other continents, it was now time for the Great War to officially begin. Using an Eclecian artifact powered by Sytor, they awaken South Erzebus and begin guiding its movements, directing it to invade the north of the Erzebus continent where the Neo-Eclecians lie, meanwhile also having them scour the seas around the Celibus, Ancrel and Delito continents.

The Delito continent was under a slow reunion, the Delito Union, having successfully integrated 4 other states back into the fold the past years, had suddenly experienced a massive spike in insurgency to the east. This was the Delito Insurgent States, former fragmented states that have rallied with the Morze after promises of power over the continent, and have received the call of war. They now began attacking the Delito Union along with the other states that did not rally with them.

The three nations of the Ancrelian continent, suddenly received numerous rebellions around their territories, most notably the Trestkania Technocracy and the Kingdom of Yorselania. The Demiurge Magocracy, with their prediction magic, had already foresaw the rebellion and had taken active strides beforehand to lessen the rebellion. The Ancrelian Morze Loyalists began securing beachheads to allow for the Erzebus and Morze forces to land directly in Ancrel. One of which that would be infamously known, the invasion and massacre of South Trestkania.

With the many conspiracies surrounding the Federation of Celibus States, especially that of during the former dictatorship rule of Vincent von Fontainia, whom ruled the Federation with an iron fist in the far past, one such conspiracy is the connection of his assassination and the disappearance of his loyalists to the Morze Dictatorship. The fears of this conspiracy now become true, as unbeknownst to the current ruler, Veronica von Fontainia, old loyalists of the former rule have been secretly operating under the Federations watchful eyes. With the Morze's call of war received, the loyalists began causing chaos around the continent, with nearly half of the Federation being under the old governments side, the Federation appeared to be having a massive civil war in the middle of the crisis.

The Morze, seeing that the conflict is now on a global scale, lifted the isolation of the alliance of the eastern Baalian nations. There was no longer a need to toy with them and began marching through their lands.

### The Grace Period (2101-2103)

It is officially the 10th year of the Morze War. The leak above Veritas has finally closed, forcing the Morze Dictatorship to halt further advancements with their forces, including only their military forces, the Eldritch beasts, Xel'han, and South Erzebus. The Morze adopted a defense-in-depth strategy, this was done as without the Sytor energy source, they risk losing influence over South Erzebus, command over the Eldritch beasts, and control over the Xel'han puppets. Additionally, the Exitium Tower was not yet powered. Many nations took this opportunity to try to liberate territories but would find themselves quickly pushed back or have the lands be retaken by the Morze again.

During this period as well, Morze had already looked into two alternative Sytor energy sources, one being the old Sytor power seal constructed by Eclecia in Sentro von Lurra, and the other being a crime against life itself, soul-fusion. Sentro von Lurra was a former well of Sytor energy which Eclecia constructed a seal on to prevent possible spread of insanity and corruption, as they were aware of its effects on a living being when exposed to too much Sytor. Morze unsealed the ancient construct, but it was rather unreliable though as Sytor generation would sometimes spike and then fall. The other source of power the Morze had was more disturbing, taking people they captured, regardless of whether they were military, civilian, men, women or children, and forcing them to reactors of which they feel the pain worse than death, having their souls fused with each other. The forced fusion eventually implodes on itself releasing massive amounts of energy greater than even nuclear fusion, and perhaps antimatter, resulting in the deaths of the individuals whom had their souls successfully implode in the fusion and finally being freed of pain.

Nations around the world would find some breathing room to rebuild and rearm. The war still rages on in the continents of Celibus, Delito, and Ancrel as the Celibus Old Government, Delito Insurgent States, and Ancrel Morze Loyalists were free to continue waging war. Amidst the brief calm after all the destruction, many would die of wounds, starvation; some seek each others company and protection, for themselves and their family. The death toll had already reached 30 million by this point.

The Delito Insurgent States, receiving high-tech equipment and magic artifacts from Morze, successfully take the entire continent. They now simply await for the Morze's next command, for now they would hold onto this continent, perhaps they might get rewarded.

The Ancrel Morze Loyalists are having a hard time warring in the continent, with the Demiurge coming to assist Trestkania and Yorselania, providing their providence and predictions, they were able to root out most Loyalists in the continent and even successfully did a counteroffensive in South Trestkania wherein the Morze and their beasts were unsuccessful in taking it back despite ferocious attempts. Eventually, the founding of Project ANGEL and the EXALT Program by Trestkania and Yorselania respectively would be done in hopes of turning the war to their favor.

The Celibus Federation, having received aid from Demiurge including their predictions, began pushing back the Old Government. With support from the Callisto Holy Kingdom, the old government would find itself losing its ground over the continent.

Demiurge would then provide predictions to every country in the world, allowing them to rearm and perform operations with minimal casualties, and even raiding of equipment from the Morze. Their ability to predict the future was looked upon by most countries and were considered a high asset that must be protected if there's a chance in winning this war.

The Celibus unites in an alliance with Trestkania, Yorselania and Demiurge, breaking through Erzebus sea blockades to send support to the continent, and sharing information with each other. Celibus founds its new military branch, the Aerial Navy, with prototype sky battleships underway. Other surviving nations would eventually join the alliance, including governments-in-exile, resistance pockets and other groups.

### World Alliance pushes back (2103-2107)

Reports on the field from numerous scouts of the alliance, Morze activity is once more rising. The brief period of peace has now ended, and each country hopes the time they had was enough.

Celibus, along with Demiurge, Trestkania and Yorselania, discuss the elimination of one threat. Demiurge has revealed the Morze are guiding South Erzebus movements through an artifact planted deep in the heart of South Erzebus. Operation Eclecian Crown would take place, liberating North Erzebus and bringing them into the fold marching towards the south. Casualties would be high as Morze would also begin landing in Erzebus after seeing their intentions, and the corrupted lands of Erzebus itself work against them, even with their specialized equipment designed to withstand the corrupting nature it only served to delay the damage. They eventually reach an old Eclecian scholastic facility, containing an artifact brimming with power. This artifact was promptly destroyed, and what followed immediately after was the Erzebus forces being in massive disarray, it seems the Morze had lost influence over them. Before retreating, one of the soldiers heard what seems to be a faint beating within the facility. It was nearly dismissed as paranoia as blueprints found of the facility indicate no other room or basement, but other soldiers would report this too and would eventually investigate. Blowing a charge through the floor of the facility, they discover a hollow cavity under the facility containing what seems to be a beating blob made of sickly purple flesh. The blob was destroyed and burned and the team quickly leaves the building, with the forces participating in the operation promptly leaving the continent as quick as they can, the operation was a success and South Erzebus was essentially taken out of the picture. The team that left the facility left too quick to notice that the corrupted shrubbery around the blob turned gray before withering away.

The Battle for Delito, alliance forces begin landing in Delito and liberate them from the Insurgent forces. Insurgents, alongside Morze and Eldritch beasts ferociously ramp up their attacks, and new Eldritch beasts were seen on the scene to the shock of the alliance, grotesque flying monsters. It seems the Morze had not been idle in the grace period, and who knows what they've been doing to the captured people to do these experiments. Unable to fight back properly against the flying swarm, the alliance would tactically retreat and a large force would go to Mendeslien as a risky lure. According to Morze predictions, this mountainous region has cold temperatures due to weather anomalies, and the swarm does not have protection against extreme freezing. After successfully luring the swarm, the air force of Trestkania and Yorselania engage in dogfights against the swarm with huge success. The swarm eventually learns to adapt to the cold and try to bring the jets to a more even playing field. Losses would finally be inflicted, steering clear of the cold areas and hiding to the dense thunderous skies as the lightnings are attracted to the metal jets, as well as the flying beasts not emitting any heat or radar signatures. The Celibus special air force, the Sky Gamblers, arrive on the battlefield, using highly advanced and specialized aircraft, they were able to reduce the swarm to nothing more than mere doves. With air superiority over Delito secured, the ground forces now had free reign and moved to cutting supplies for the Insurgents, eventually kicking off the Morze and the beasts and taking out the Delito Insurgent States out of the picture, Delito has been liberated.

Over at Fereid, the war rages on along the frontlines of the Einheitspakt. Durug-Makto is clinging on to what little territories they have left, and Nagato and the Tide Empire are doing their best to defend the Nagato islands as they have lost too much land already.

### Fall of Morze (2107-2109)

invasion of morze mainland, eventually veritas destroying the gate
