The Worldfire
The Worldfire is known across the continent as the weapon that created the Spellscar, and devastated the borders between Indo and Vankya during the Caheb War. It was first fired on 3873 EC, destroying the face of the Vankyan mountain Thesnoq. It was used over the following years, scorching the soil, burning glass to sand, and rending geographical features at a distance of more than 150 kilometers.
Though the Worldfire created the Spellscar, the decades of fighting that followed its first use gave the Caheb War new life far beyond its original causes, and the Spellscar grew.
The Balsets
The Worldfire is spread across two small mountains known as The Balsets. The mountains were previously one of the greatest strongholds of Indo during the early years of the war, it was slowly repurposed as the site of the weapon. The fortress and weapon span both mountains, with a vast stone bridge separating them. Numerous attempts to take the Balsets have been made, but in the most successful attempt, the bridge was destroyed by the Indonese to prevent further access. In response to the attack, the Worldfire was used three times in a single day. One of these usages remains the furthest the weapon has ever been fired, and resulted in the obliteration of the Vankyan fortress of Ebonspine.
History
The Worldfire was designed and crafted by Indonese siege engineers in secret over years in hopes of ending the Caheb War with an overwhelming show of force. What truly occurred was the reignition of the war with a new cause, with all of Vankya uniting under the goal of destroying the device. It has been fired seventeen times in total, destroying mountain faces, leveling hills, and wiping out entire armies at a time. The war soon spread, battles being raged across the border in fortifications and battlements meant to fight the long war.
The Worldfire was last fired in 3942 EC. A long stalemate between Indo and Vankya from 3953 to 3959 EC lead many to believe the fighting might stop, but the invention and deployment of the Balefire Engines lead many to believe that Indo was developing an even more dangerous version of the Worldfire, and resparked the war.
