The Wars

The Wars are called by various names in various languages. "The Wars" is the bluntest of them -- they'll often be referred to by euphemistic phrases like "The Great Dying," "Burning," or "When We Fell." They were a series of incredibly destructive wars that happened between the countries surrounding the Fáyam Mountains. Magic was used extensively, and beings from other planes were involved. The reasons behind The Wars were incredibly complex, the culmination of centuries' worth of tensions. The end result was chaos -- one by one, the government of each country fell. The country that outlasted the rest, Akansha, was cursed by the god Calixtus, thus leaving The Wars with no real winner.
