First Saurian war against the breaker

"We have endured so many tribulations together. But in the end, we have come out victorious through the sheer will of our brethren and the blessings of the gods themselves. Today, the gods themselves are supporting us! We shall defeat whatever foul threat corrupts our empire and banish it to whatever hellhole it crawled out of. Glory to Sauros!"   Salen Antioch, giving a speech during the climax of the war at the battle of Sauros!.
  The first Saurian war against the breaker, ( More commonly known as the first war by the Saurians themselves) is one of the deadliest and most impactful military conflicts in history.

Hi Redclaw, it's your friendly feedback wizard here to give you some important feedback on your article on the Saurian War.   I like this article so much! The images really give the race-against-time vibe that I believe you were aiming for, as well as showing the horrors of that war. I mean, the Saurians were almost wiped out. It also gives you a very fertile area for creating stories, as I am sure there are other war heroes out there besides Salen.   Just a note: the "Prelude" and "Before the Conflict" sections are identical. Like, copy-paste identical. I'd dump the prelude and the aftermath sections entirely, and add the legacy version at the end. Of course, it's up to you.   Also, I would put images at the end of a section or as a side image (use those img|left and img|right BBCodes) having them right underneath titles makes it hard to remember what a section is about.   Otherwise, great article and a lot of great information. I would love to know more about the reconstruction portion, and how it has affected modern-day Saurian society. But all-in-all, I really enjoyed reading this.   See you around Redclaw :D
