Military action
The Resurrection War is the last war in which magic is claimed to have been used. It was fought more than 500 years ago, and was an attempt by several city-states to resurrect an ancient empire under their own hegemony. There was no true winner of the Resurrection War, as the destruction it wrought rendered victory meaningless. The war was fought by the allied kingdoms of Nur-Kaliph and Sur-Kaliph against the invading Mercians.
