The Great Sus War

The **Great Sus War** was the bloodiest conflict in the history of Amogia. It was fought between the Amogus Alignment, Sus Empire, Sus Confederation, and the Haggars on a continental scale. It began on Augustus 18th, 378 AA and ended in late 384. At least 200,000 perished in the chaos.

## Participants

* Sus Empire
* Amogus Alignment
* Sus Confederation
* Haggars

The Ultimate Sus established the Sus Empire around 375 AA as a secret anarchist organization that simply wished to free all Amogi from Susiety's laws. They began the war with around 30,000 members, which slowly dwindled. Only about 2,000 troops remained at the end of the war.

 The Amogus Alignment was led by General Amogus to combat the Sus Empire.

 The Sus Confederation was led by General Amogus' brother, Lord Imogus to combat both the Sus Empire and the Amogus Alignment.

 The Haggars were a small faction that existed to challenge the Sus Empire and bring justice to those who would be harmed by the war.

## Summary

The Sus Empire, led by Ultimate Sus, planned to assassinate all members of the government to free citizens from the rules and restrictions of Susiety. First, they invaded the S.C.E. from the north to eliminate opposition from the other side of Amogusea. They gradually progressed southward, devastating every village and town in their path. Many sought refuge at Fort Xitoag and Sus City. Baraconan the Sussy and several other government leaders were worried that the empire would succeed. To combat it, they hired volunteers to form the Amogus Alignment, led by General Amogus. This marked the beginning of the war. Bombi and Amoguns had not been invented, so the war was fought with swords, bows, and fire, as well as propaganda. Additionally, Sir Mogus the Sussy developed a simple but effective cipher, now known as Modern Amonganese, by switching the letters of Old Amonganese to avoid being spied on. After a long war, the Amogus Alignment was ultimately victorious thanks to General Amogus' superior battle tactics. They converted all of the Sus Empire, including Ultimate Sus, into Suspicious Si, and liberated them, bringing peace to Amgo. However, Amgo was left in a state of chaos and destruction that would be difficult to repair.

### Aftermath

After the devastating war, the Government of Sus declared the creation of the Sus Army, the first official army of Amgo. General Amogus received money, the position "Lord of the Sus", and the title "The Sus Hero." He is still remembered to this day. St. Amogus transformed the empire into a peaceful organization, developed the Amoguism ideology, and helped Amgo to recover. The Sus Empire would live on for over a millennium to come.

## Details

### Augustus 18 - 25

The **Great Sus War** began in earnest. The confederacy divided their troops into two groups; one would march east and put the armies of the Sus Empire on the defensive, while the other would march west and try to destroy the Alignment. The Sus Empire quickly formed a defense perimeter around their homeland and went to work constructing fortifications around their strongholds.

The Haggars introduced longbows and crossbows into their arsenal to assault the landlocked Sus Empire’s forces. They also created armored walkers to bypass the empire's defenses.

The Amogus Alignment also made long range bows to counter the Sus Empire’s armed vessels. They arrayed their troops into two armies. One army remained stationary while the other division marched towards the Sus Empire's borders.

### Augustus 26 - Sustember 2

By early morning, the Alignment’s boats arrived at the S.C.E.. Amogus and Imogus attacked at the same time. Sus Empire frontier garrisons were warned of the impending attack and moved their forces southward. Those who failed to do so were annihilated by the advance of the two armies.

On Augustus 27, the Alignment and Haggars made a feint attack, hoping to lure out Amogus' army and attack their flank. As Amogus’ and Haggar’s armies converged on one another, the Sus Empire defenders realized what was happening and broke away. However, the empire took heavy casualties as a result. Meanwhile, the Haggars invaded several towns near present-day Susagette and set them ablaze. After days of conflict, a large swath of land had been retaken by the Haggars. An estimated 6,000 of Amogus’ soldiers and 2,500 Haggars were killed in the invasion.

### Sustember

On Sustember 5th, before dawn, a formation of over 10,000 Sus Empire soldiers appeared off of the coast of the newly established Haggar homeland near the city of Pencader. The soldiers landed in a small cove and were reinforced by ships from their navy. A soldier named Densus was one of the first to reach the shore and deliver a tirade against the Sus Empire. Densus then ordered the troops to fire.

The Sus Empire army was met with heavy resistance. Although, they outnumbered the haggars, their position was a tactical disadvantage. The defending forces were well placed and well-armed, and they launched a barrage of arrows and javelins. The tide turned the entire battle in favor of the haggars. Suddenly, the alignment could be seen in the distance and they were approaching quickly. Densus told the empire to retreat, but the empire refused and so he ordered his men to raise the Empire flag over their fortifications. Nearly all of the army was killed, while a massive fire erupted in the city and burned for two days. The Sus Empire had lost half of their troops but still had more than the alignment and haggars combined.

In the meantime, the confederation was hiring and training new warriors, while sharpening their weapons to prepare for any unexpected attack.

On Sustember 20th, the confederation marched into the Sus Empire and burned their camp. Approximately 15,000 Amogi died. A week later, the haggars attacked the confederacy. Their forces were bolstered by reinforcements and new weaponry. The mass retreat of the haggars resulted in Pencader being surrounded and the confederation expanded into new territory.

### Octoberus

The alignment and haggars attacked the Sus Empire together. The empire’s army, weakened by both internal strife and external invasion, could not fend off the wave of invaders. In retaliation, the empire sent an army southward to reinforce Fiegate, west of Pecander.
