The Great War

The Conflict

Battlefield

The Great War spanned across the continent and ravaged the world around it.

Conditions

Harsh and nearly constant battle across the continent left much of civilization destroyed or in ruins. While supplies were not limited the human armies were pushed back into their walled cities limiting not only freedom for Humanity but hope as well.

The Engagement

Most battles during The Great War were small skirmishes that often resulted in a loss for Humanity but after the discovery of spirit wielders and elementis crystals Humanity and it's armies met in one last climatic battle with the army of the Shade that would soon see the end of the three-century war.

Outcome

Humanity suffered extensive losses and much of the Kingdoms were destroyed in the conflict.

Aftermath

Humanity would lose a large portion of their history when it would later be hidden away from public knowledge years later. As well as the Shade being completely pushed back into the shadows all knowledge of this part of history would soon be forgotten to time.

Historical Significance

The Great War would later be erased from common history and deemed the "Lost Era" by the Royal Families of the Four Kingdoms in the hope that Humanity can forget the terrible evil of the Shade

Legacy

The result of The Great War would lead to the creation of the Knight Orders in the Kingdoms to prevent the Shade from ever returning in strength
