Background

The Southern War (sometimes coined The Xavax Wars) was a war which began in the southern hemisphere of the East Continent in the early months of 2016. The war can be referred to as a continental war, due to the large number of participants, however not all realms on the continent were directly involved.

Directly involved in the war in the Northern Alliance were Alara, Minas Nova, Perleone, Vix Tiramora, and Perdan. Opposing the Northern Alliance in the South was Greater Xavax and for the first half of the war Fallangard.

The aim of the war from the Northern perspective was to:

• Prevent the possible destruction of Alara and Minas Nova
• Prevent Greater Xavax from becoming large enough to contest the North.

However, due to the complexity of the war, there were several shifts to the maintenance of the aim, including religious zealotry and undead conspiracies.

Pre-War Events

After a long ice age, the ice on the East Continent finally began to recede, freeing many of the regions of the Southern East Continent from frigid stupor.

This thawing was favorably timed by the gods to coincide with the catastrophe of Atamara. With the sinking of the continent, many great noble families were left displaced and without homes. The thawing provided a large amount of space for emigrating nobles to land and create a new future. The new realms of Alara, Minas Nova, and Greater Xavax were created from the once snow covered lands for these incoming nobles.

Conflict in the South

The Southern EC, once settled, was composed of the following:

• Alara controlled: Ejarr Puutl, Itor Boss, Noritor, Priotness and Itorunt.

• Minas Nova controlled: Semall, Jariedma, Nimraw, Zamor, Zawr and Dayr.

• Xavax controlled: Aeng, Betholm, Igno, Tota, Enubec, Xavax and Isadril.

This resulted in Greater Xavax holding a majority of cities and townslands, while controlling little rural area. Alara, under King Robb Starfall, made a bid at alliance with Xavax in the form of a food agreement.
