Welcome to Uldor.
A member of the Coal Arm, a contemptible fraternal organization that was based in Sappir, had assassinated the King of the Sappiri. The Coal Arm framed the country of Smaragd for the killing, and the Sappiri readily accepted the rumors as truth: that the death of their king was apart of a Smaragdani plot to capture Sappir. In truth, the Sappir people were blinded by a centuries-old feud between the two nations and came to see the Smaragdani as teacherous serpents bent on bringing evil to the world, and Smaragd verily was irresponsible for the assassination. Yet, the blame still fell upon the Sappiri's rival, and Sappir declared war on Smaragd, with the Kingdom of Nintale from the North intervening despite exhortation to avoid the conflict. With that, Sappir and Nintale threw the world into the Global Arcane War in 712 EG, and Sappir, at the time a strong military power, heavily attacked Smaragd and Efydd with the assistance of Nintale. Himaya provided assistance to both sides of the conflict, capitalizing on the events and entering an era of prosperity. Its neutrality was compromised when Nintale and Sappir succeeded in procuring a spell, an arcane flame capable of destroying entire cities, and destroyed one of Himaya's many port towns along the waters of the Oorti Sea in the South. The acts of the Arcarti Rim Union, comprised of Nintale and Sappir, however, tipped the scales of the battle against them and resulted in their defeat in the year 715 EG after Himaya and Smaragd relieved the side of the Forjin continent, north of the Agdan mountains, of Sappiri and Nintaleian joint occupation.
After the war, Nintale took the largest hit, the kingdom being blamed for most war crimes and owing most of the debt caused by the war, disproportionately to Sappiri charges. Smaragd received the territory occupied by Sappir and Nintale from the Agdan Mountains to the Lesser Arcarti shores of the Forjinn continent; however it lost the island of Perak it had gained through colonial exploits before the war, for Smaragd lacked the money necessary to maintain its imperialism on the island in the Southern Arcarti Sea. Himaya, meanwhile, entered an era of prosperity which enabled it to conquer the lands extending from the eastern savanna to the Great Tauran Mountains, and Efydd received full control of the jungle. Gorudon explorers, from Gorudo, a nation unaffected by the war, discovered Dayaman, another unaffected land in the aftermath of the conflict, thereby completing the map of the world and opening up the entirety of the sea to exploration.
Three alliances emerged from the war: the Arcarti Rim Union (Nintale and Sappir), the Glorious Alliance of the Noxard Ocean (Efydd, Himaya, and later Dayaman and Gorudo), and the Western Arcarti Front (Smaragd, Gorudo, and Perak). The Western Arcarti Front focused on protecting Forjinn and remained neutral, however the Arcarti Rim Union and the Glorious Alliance continued to be at odds with each other. Their conflict could potentially erupt into another terrible war.
