The Sixth Invasion of Beluaterra
The Daimon Invasion starting in December 2015 and ending in October 2017.
Summary
The Death Knell of the Sixth Invasion is terrible to behold.
More than half the nations that lived when it began died to the Daimons, and it remade the continent by the time it was done.
Enweil shattered and the Vales took up the fight.
Caelum fell and the Witch Kingdom of Angmar arose to harness the power of magic against the Daimons.
Spearhold burned and Gotland arose from the ashes.
Old Grehk collapsed and Obia'Syela turned the very Daimons against each other to create a narrow window of safety for humanity in Keffa for a time.
It was a chaotic and desperate time, but humanity survived in the end.

Yao Ling's Commentary on the Invasion
The following is a Nothoi-centric summary of the Invasion from the perspective of Yao Ling, High Priestess of Daishi
The Daimons came again one more time, and nearly ended us as a nation. They took Reeds from us, and I used magic again. I stood in the middle of Reeds while portal stones glowed with a ring of Daishi power and did my best to control the magic to drive the Daimons out. I failed to control it, and it nearly killed me. I remember seeing and feeling my hand come apart in front of me. And then it...changed. The magic began to rejuvenate me, to heal the ravages of age and injuries of entire Ages. And that is why I look young now. Oh yes. That is the secret to my youth. The magic also erased the Daimons from Reeds and allowed us to hold the city once more.
I ruled Nothoi for a time during this Sixth Invasion. Priest and ruler is an odd combination, one that we do not see very often. There are reasons for that. Most rulers can fight with their troops, and help send orders to the army when out on missions. I could not. But a good general will make up for a legion of failings in a ruler, and we won in the end due to exactly that. Though once more the cost was high. Nations dead. Cities ruined. I helped put together the international consensus that created Caelint between Angmar and Gotland and then stepped down as ruler. Well, technically I simply didn't run for the next election. But it amounts to the same thing. In a Holy War against the Daimons, I am happy to serve Nothoi as a figurehead ruler. But Daishi has spread throughout most of the nations of this continent, and I would prefer to remain as neutral as possible in international relations.
