First War of the Angels

Kamuel, vassal-lord of Viu grew jealous of King Abatur and his great throne in Elo. Due to his envy Kamuel begin spreading lies about Abatur. Speaking to the fourth and fifth generations of angels, Kamuel declared that Abatur was an uncaring tyrant who focused on his authority over the needs of his people. The angels living in Viu became swayed by the opinions of Kamuel and gathered an army to attack the peaceful angels of Elo. Kamuel led this army north unto the lands of Elanites demanding that he be given the throne of Abatur and was made King of Londoh. 
Abatur gathered the Council of the First to debate the threat and write an official accord that would grant the Viuan angels more access to the resources of Elo if they returned home and submitted to the rule of the Cordziz Senate. Upon hearing these words however Kamuel became incised for he was of the first generation and would not bend knee to the declarations of the senate. Fearing to attack the city of Elo and its majestic buildings, Kamuel insisted his followers raid the land surrounding Elo burning the crops and slaughtering the animals. 
Abatur and the Council of the First became concerned for without the crops and animals for hunting the angels of Elo would starve. Abatur decreed all angels living in Elo would join to form a single army led by the general Surufel. While Kamuel and his army plundered the countryside and blighted the land Surufel gathered and trained the angels of the first, second, and third generations in combat until they had a mighty force. Surufel having prepared and planned with Abatur and the Council of the First struck against the rebellious Kamuel. 
The first battle between the armies of Surufel and Kamuel proved the inferiority of the later generations of angels. For though they outnumbered the force of Surufel the power of the first generation and the training of Surufel's army was not to be outdone. Over a period of weeks Surufel's army rode upon the winds besting the angels that served Kamuel. With each defeat Kamuel's army was forced to retreat, though unable to be killed many angels were critically wounded and fled to Viu to recover. Eventually the power of Surufel and his army outnumbered Kamuel and routed his forces which fled back to Viu.
Kamuel used the retreat to appear weak and through deceit and subterfuge was able to rally additional angels to his aide at Viu. Meanwhile Surufel believing that the later generation of angels had been suppressed returned triumphant to Elo. Surufel however upon learning that a new army was gathering in Viu returned south with his forces. A second battle took place north of Viu and the destruction left the land broken and scorched. Kamuel and his troops again retreated to Viu but this time Surufel and his angels pursued the rebels. After a prolonged siege the angels forced Kamuel to meet with Surufel to discuss surrender. 
Abatur learning that Surufel had successfully subdued the later generations of angels living at Viu traveled south. Upon arriving he met with his general Surufel and the rebel Kamuel. Kamuel raised a list of demands to surrender based primarily on allowing the fifth and sixth generation of angels to settle in Elo. Abatur in his mercy decided it would be wise to acquiesce to few of the desires by the peoples of Viu to end further conflict or reprisals. Abatur decreed that any of the later generations of angels could relocate to Elo. Further Abatur exiled Kamuel for his role in leading the uprising forbidding him to live or reside in the borders of Londoh.

Summary

This semi-historical myth describes the first confrontation between the generations of angels. The battles were fought in a stretch of savanna between the settlements of Elo and Viu. Since both sides of the conflict were immortal no deaths occurred, however the destruction of these skirmishes reshaped the land and led to the slaughter of numerous beasts.

Historical Basis

Unlike prior myths scholars believe this to hold a more accurate historical account. It is likely the facts, those deeds and actions taken have been embellished or romanticized to create a more civil depiction of the Cordziz. Kemuel's role in the rebellion was also probably inflated to justify his punishment.
