The Pacifist's Confrontation
A War of Relative Devastation
The Conflict
Prelude
When rumors began to spread that Anthos discovered a new unknown object that was mentioned in arcane tomes throughout the world, Kortlivad took great interest in the object and what Anthos planned to do with it. When a team of amateur scientists contacted Anthos for permission to observe the object, Anthos reluctantly agreed to it, but something went wrong. The object activated itself for a few mere seconds, seconds that would create such a crisis that it would end up in a war, as the scientists from Kortlivad and the guardsmen of Anthos who attended were all devoured in those mere seconds. Kortlivad, in a fit of rage for their lost scientists, declared that Anthos take responsibility for the incident and when Anthos argued that no one could have predicted the mess, Kortlivad decided to take matters into their own hands, to avenge their now forever gone friends and loved ones.
Historical Significance
With the shocking outcome of the 'war', Aga quickly ascends the steps to global recognition for her hand in quickly ending the all-out-war as the protege to the freshly inducted Paragon of Protection, Septuo. This great feat of success and the addition of being under the direct care of a Paragon, Aga was immediately invited to help in several other matters of governments, lands, and powers on a variety of serious levels; this would soon be a huge reason for her nomination to the position of the paragon of Power.

Conflict Result
Both parties suffered great collateral damage and several dozens of hundreds of lives, ultimately giving up what they fought for.
Anthos had home soil advantage, as the majority of the confrontation occurred at the border of the country and since the country consists mostly of land/plant-based sciences they use their knowledge to control and contort the flora to fight.
Anthos specifically suffers tremendously in terms of lives and collateral damage, with a few hundred acres destroyed beyond recovery and estimated 300-some casualties altogether.
The main objective for Anthos was to hold and maintain an object that is suspected to be of relative divinity origins. The object to this day has no official name, nor are the exact properties of this object are known, everything about it is based on pure speculation.
Since Kortlivad is a fishing based country, many of the workers are considered strong because of their career paths, this made hand-to-hand and close-ranged combat confrontations easy as well as heavy lifting for traps and mobility easier.
It is estimated that around 270 soldiers from Kortlivad perished during the war, and almost all of the personal citizen's ships were destroyed as a result of the fighting.
Kortlivad's objective in the war was to capture and secure the divinitive object from Anthos so they can study and use it for themselves. A side objective was to simply overtake the entirety of Anthos, which they did, but it only lasted a short period of time.
The Order of the Paragons
Led by
The Order has great funding, resources, geographical knowledge, survival skills, and combat knowledge that they are taught since day one of joining the Order. The Paragon Septuo and her protege Aga Null are also skilled in high-stakes negotiations and treaties.
The Order suffered no great losses, the only type of casualties the Order considered was that of time and funding.
The objective of the Order was to neutralize the war between Anthos and Kortlivad in as peaceful a manner as possible. Another objective was to obtain the divinitive object from Anthos as a neutral party to keep it away from the hands of the people.
