The Sliver Invasion

Military: War

In the midst of Respite's attempts to rebuild itself from internal conflict, the land is beset by rampaging monsters from across the seas. These monstrosities are ultimately discovered to be escaped experiments known as "Slivers" from a series of M.O.S.A.I.C. laboratories.   Seizing the opportunity, a rogue group of Fire Giants known as the "Burning Mountains" use the chaos to invade from the North. The fighting lasts for over a century, with the Slivers proving terrifyingly effective at adapting to their new environment, continuously pushing further into the continent.   The tide of battle is turned with the creation of the Wolfir, werewolves blessed with sentience & control over their transformations. Their strength gives Respite the decisive edge needed to eliminate the Slivers once & for all. Once the Slivers are gone, the last of the Fire Giants are wiped out by the collective efforts of Respites armies, led by the Soulswatch.
