Second Elemental War

-2846- Centuries after Mars had sealed rifts from the fire elemental planes, they reopen. Colossal 80 to 100-foot-tall fire elementals punch and slam the rifts open. breaking the powerful magical seals that held them. These new giant-sized fire elementals surprised guardians of the rifts enough that for three days, no one could slow a brand-new elemental army. Each battalion of a thousand fire elementals led by a giant fire elemental went in a different direction, spreading fire and destruction seemingly at randomly across the planet. last time they spread slowly from each rift like a forest fire, now they moved like storm clouds; faster, more formidable, and hotter than before. The waves of water elementals, which brought such a swift end to the last war, are turned to steam before it reached the flaming 100-foot fire wall that each giant formed to protect their battalion. This was a different kind of war. -2850- four years of chaotic war without battle lines became even more chaotic when conflicting orders concerning enemy identification were issued. It turned out that some water elemental hybrids had started to attack decommissioned terraforming stations. in point of fact, it is still unclear what happened during the last four years of the war. -2854- Special forces made up mostly of career vagabonds managed to uncover some secret plot that the public has been told will remain classified indefinitely, but which brought an end to the war through negotiating with various elementals. Shortly before the war ended, all elementals were forbidden from entering any cities, and still are. This includes summoners of elementals within cities arrested for war crimes.

The Conflict

Prelude

In 2820 a new race of genetically modified humans is made in response to indications that the fire elemental rifts might open soon. These "Dragonborn" were reverse engineered from the dragons that migrated to human-owned space shortly after the discovery of magic. Emphasizing red dragonborn in preparation for a possible second fire elemental war.

Outcome

-2855- Months after the official end of the second elemental war, the vagabond guild sends young vagabonds back out into the wilds, nearly a decade since any non-military aid was available. These young vagabonds will likely have a much harder time than their predecessors in assisting the wild villages.
