War of Horrors

Military action

The War of Horrors. Named for the sheer brutality waged by Samael Lorkan, King of Sarska. No war has ever come close to the terror caused by this war. Samael destroyed and took over roughly half of Ostara. The never before seen addition of actual demons in his army was unheard of and hasn't been seen since. Those who were lucky died in the raiding of their towns, the unlucky were ravaged and devoured. Men, women, children; it didn't matter. The final battle of the war was said to be so brutal and had so many casualties that there was a 6 inch lake of blood covering the entire field.

The War of Horrors. Named for the sheer brutality waged by Lord Elrik, King of Sarska. Through unknown means Elrik was able to bind demons to his will or somehow convince them to serve in his military. He amassed a massive army of demon and humans alike and attacked the other nations of Ostara. The path carved by his military left nothing but destruction and tragedy in its wake. Hundreds of thousands were slaughtered. Women, children, and men were massacred like animals if they were lucky while others were devoured by the rampaging demons. It took the other nations all rising together and the gathering of the most powerful Magi to halt Elrik's path of destruction and put a stop to his rampage permamently. The War of Horrors culminated in what became known as the "Battle of Bloodfield" which took place in the northeast of Terresant. Elrik's armies were scattered and destroyed meanwhile Elrik and his generals were killed by the 6 strongest Magi of the allied nations at the cost of their own lives. Elrik's remains were burned to ash and thus the War of Horrors was ended. By the end of the war, Elrik's armies had ravaged and destroyed over half of Tyskland, 3/4's of Terresant, and 1/4 of Nemska.
