Military: War
Catastrophic and unexpected, the Dragon Wars began when the extraplanar god of destruction and draconic supremacy, Elir-Otrinax, decided Waking Materia would make an enjoyable buffet-slash-playground. Heavily divided by the Great Fractionation, civilized resistance was disorganized and vulnerable. The overwhelming power and unpredictability of Otrinax and its True Dragon armies were proving too difficult even for the temporarily unified Colonial and Insurgent Gods, resulting in several divine fatalities and an untold number of mortal ones. All seemed lost until another extraplanar god, Tallari-Anaviri-Irallat, arrived...
After some months of cat-and-mouse with the Godhead of Annihilation, Tallari was finally able to imprison the thing deep beneath Materia's surface, caged by forces that are to arcane glyphs what tesseracts are to cubes. Tallari established a presence thereafter as a sort of God-Queen and divine ambassador to the Tiam-Anzu, creating The Dragon Knights of Tallarax and assisting with the elimination of Otrinax's remaining minions.
