History

This is a list of Miscellaneous facts about the history of the world that do not fit into character's pages.

## The Shattering

Before the Unification Wars the lower realms were all part of one Great Power that controlled everything. That power had a weak Tier 50 as its leader that was placed there as a puppet. The power had 7 high tier planets and their society lacked bottled concepts. Because of the weak leader, many factions attempted to take the throne and the resulting war ended with everyone over tier 30 dead. This lead into the Unification Wars.

## Unification Wars

There was a great calamity a few dozen million years ago that killed all the higher tiers. At that point there were no Great Powers and the period of fighting after that was called the Unification wars.

## Twenty Thousand Years ago

Modern war follows certain rules. Namely, war is only waged from tier 15 to 35 and higher tiers can't attack lower ones. This doesn't count if the lower tiers are part of a mixed tier squad including your tier.

Conflict happened Twenty thousand years ago where the Rules of War were ignored. it was a three way war between the 8 great powers. Higher tiers slaughtered lower ones in droves and more than 40 worlds were left uninhabitable. Trillions died.

> Griff laughed but there was no humor in it. “A Tier 30 world was found with natural portals to both Empire territory and the Republic. Both sides claimed it, and so blood was shed.

## Lower Tier crafter destroyed a city

A lower tiered crafter had a sister that was raped and murdered by a mayor's son. When he went for justice, the authorities ignored him because he was considered worth less than the mayor's son.

> “He waited until the city's defensive shielding was up and broke a family treasure. He torched a city of millions. Not a single survivor. It was the only way he could see to right the wrong done to his sister. The Empire has laws for a reason and when they aren't fairly enforced millions can pay the cost of a few.”

Liz heard the story first hand. The city that it happened in was called et'Tithil and Liz remarks, during the training planet arc, that it happened two years ago, which means it was around the time Matt first joined the playpen or possibly 6 months after. The crafter was a tier 7 named Lizar who's eyes 'haunted her'. He was a gifted blacksmith who won a city competition where his tier 2 sister caught the eye of the mayor's son. When she refused his advances, she was kidnapped and raped and her mutilated body was left at his front door. The heirloom he broke was a Tier 20 forge with a massive fire core, because the shields were active the blast had nowhere to go and destroyed the whole city. Lizar survived because his talent gave him a massive resistance to fire. He told his story then cracked his core. Emmanuel had the baron and viscount executed.
