War of Light

The War of Light began in 930 P.U. following years of tension between Gollaca and the Divine Republic of Aspua, the Crusade of Light was called by Pontifex Ellyjoybell Bilbron seeking to spread the influence of the Blessing of the Shining Star across Devorn.
The war began in earnest when the Divine Republic besieged Fortress Dissen in Northern Gollaca capturing the fortress briefly, before the Zhodron Stalkers under the command of Lord Protector Thorath of Zuidehall scaled the walls in the dead of night to retake the strategically important castle. The war has entered a stalemate over the last year with the hit and run tactics of Gollaca managing to hold off the Divine Republic advance for now.

The Conflict
