The Great War

The Great War was a massive all out war between all the races of Eloria with the exception of the Geeraka and Cephaloids. It completely devastated the general Artan area (labeled Artan on the map).

Causes
The main belief of the war was that Sturm Des Krieges had convinced the Vichian King Raaq'tos to weaken the other races of Eloria so they could be easily conquered later, however the truth of this is unknown since King Raaq'tos perished during the final battle of the war.

Rising Conflict
In the early stages of the war, Raaq'tos sent Slave Class Vichian to each kingdom who worked their way up to the advisors of each kingdom's rulers, spreading lies and turning the kingdoms against each other. It is then believed one of these infiltrators in the Artan Kingdom disguised itself as a Sivanoid and assassinated the high king. This led to the new high king, Reitas declaring war on the Sivanoids.

The Early Stages
The spies in the Sivanoid and Artan kingdoms began working to form alliances with the Chronnacs and Umanites respectively. Once the kingdoms united, sleeper agents attacked all four kingdoms' leaders unsuccessfully (intentionally) which led them to turn on each other as well making the war a free for all between the four kingdoms.

The Elorian Writ of Peace
After this went on for a while, the Zichian seeing their chance began attacking trying to conquer. The four kingdoms all began to be defeated by Raaq'tos' army. It was at this point that Raaq'tos' plan began to unravel. The Umanites eventually concluded the only viable course of action to stop the VIchian was for all four of the other kingdoms to work together against them. The leaders came together and wrote a peace agreement called the Elorian Writ of Peace. After this they worked together to drive back the Vichian. Raaq'tos died in the ensuing battle. The new Vichian king knew he could not stand up to the united forces of the Artans, Chonacs, Sivanoids, and Umanites surrendered and retreated back to the Vichian territory.

The Memorial to the Lost
After the war ended a monument appeared in the center of the Artan kingdom where the final battle had taken place. No one really knows where it came from or who made it, but everyone accepted it as a memorial for the fallen of the Great War. People still come to the memorial from all over the four kingdoms to remember those who were lost in the war.
