Blazing War

Military action

Velda Sangfroid declares war on the Elves, leading to the Blazing War.

You had the knowledge of the world, the ability to save so many. Instead, you hoarded that knowledge for yourself. You have angered the beast, and she's willing to die for her empire.

— Velda Sangfroid

As the Star Plague slowly subdued, the Great Sangfroid Empire rose back from its demise, with Velda Sangfroid being livid from the Elves letting them suffer under epidemic.

As such, she declared war with the Elven Kingdom, over the course of a few years raising her armies and preparing a direct attack onto Silva. Before long, her armies and mages raised hell upon the realm of the Elves, causing fire and brimstone in her name.

By the end of it, she had the Elven King executed, raiding their archives and sharing their knowledge to Sichelan's folk despite the refusal of the Elves themselves.
