Second Great War

Military: War

With the wards damaged or down, it was easier to destroy than create. This is also called “magical Slaughterfest” the after-effects were very devastating leaving deadlands and magicless zones around the realm.

The Magical Slaughterfest was a devastating conflict that occurred in the aftermath of the Great Calamity, a time when the wards that protected the land were damaged or down, making it easier to destroy than create. This conflict, also known as the War of Magic, was a brutal and destructive war that left many deadlands and magicless zones across the realm.
The Bloodline Curse, a powerful magical affliction, ran rampant during the Magical Slaughterfest, affecting entire families and wiping out their magical abilities. Many magical schools were emptied as students were sent to the front lines to fight and often perish in droves. The War of Magic was a major factor in the current supply of magic in the world of Rondo, as the destruction of so many magical resources and practitioners had a lasting impact on the availability of magical power.

The War of Magic also saw the creation of the warforged, powerful constructs created by the human faction of Candrions to fight on the front lines. These warforged were driven to new heights of design and power, with many unique and experimental versions being created and deployed. However, many of their creators did not survive to see their creations mass-produced, perishing in the brutal conflict. The warforged played a crucial role in the War of Magic, and their legacy can still be seen today in the world of Rondo.
