The most recent conflict, the Tenfold War was waged between the Northern Alliance of Nor'Vagu and Al-Djinn-San and the Eightfold Confederacy of Aurelia and her allies. This war changed the world and marked the beginning of the Modern Era. Sword and Sorcery met on the same battlefield as gunpowder and steam technology. For ten years, the war was fought on a thousand different battlefields and set the foundation for events in The Nameless Trilogy.
