Warfare (Lethurîa): Difference between revisions

'''Warfare in [[Lethurèa]]''' has persisted since the earliest echoes of creation. Though [[spirits]] cannot be destroyed by conventional means, conflict has shaped the Universal memory and spiritual evolution of the realm. The history of warfare is defined by transcendent epochs, species extinction events, spiritual rebellions, and unending ideological clashes between the [[Free Species]] and the [[Malisik]].

The first documented war in Lethurèa's history was a chaotic battle between ancient spirits. Their objective was to contain the evil essence of [[Malis]], a corrupting force later sealed in the prison-realm of [[Gozog’nok]]. Though no spirit was truly slain in this primordial skirmish, the battle scarred the spiritual resonance of [[Yedistren]] and foreshadowed future devastation.

Eons later, the First War began between the [[Sebuuk]] and [[Sherok]]. Tainted by Malis, the Sebuuk sought to purge the Sherok and subvert the Divine Order by opening Yedistren to corrupted spirits. The war, fought with bladed weapons and raw brutality, devastated the world. In the aftermath, the Sebuuk were sealed within [[Gozog’nok]]. With the Sherok crippled, the [[First-Flames]] created new species to repopulate the war-torn world.

== The High Valorèin Rebellion ==

Following the dominion of the [[First-Flames]], the [[High Valorèin]] initiated a rebellion. This uprising was short-lived. Upon breaching the Council Chambers, the First-Flames cursed the High Valorèin for their defiance, marking the abrupt end of their insurrection. Despite this, war would soon return to [[Yedistren]].

The most catastrophic and enduring war in Lethurèa's history, the '''One War''', spanned an entire era. Its nature shifted over time—strategic, psychological, and spiritual. Many believed it would never end. The war's complexity is reflected in its tactics, weapons, and the rise of modern war machines.

* '''Projectile Weapons''': [[Plasma Blasters]], [[Laser Blasters]], [[Gauss Guns]], and [[Railguns]] are standard.

* '''Melee Weapons''': Plasma-infused blades are standard. Elite warriors use swords forged from [[Celestial Metals]], surpassing plasma in cutting power and effectiveness against [[Malisik]].

* '''Valorèin Weapons''': [[Valorèin]] warriors employ immense war bows requiring their incredible strength—silent, precise, and deadly at range.

* '''Melee Weapons''': Forged from [[Corrupted Metals]] and [[Ore of Gozog’nok]], capable of piercing [[Celestial Armor]].

* '''Mechs & Walkers''': Piloted through [[Cyberware]] neuro-interfaces, functioning as extensions of the warrior's will.

* '''Inquisition Constructs''': Durable, advanced [[Walkers]] and limited [[Mech]] use by [[Shemèin]] pilots.

* [[Drones]], [[Automatons]], [[Mute Charges]], and [[Nanites]] are common on the battlefield.

Cybernetic replacements for limbs or internal organs. Highly invasive and spiritually controversial among some species—especially the [[Valorèin]].

=== Valorèin ===

* Deploy [[Superweapons]] such as [[Firestorm Weapons]], [[Mineralizing Bombs]], and [[Planetary Fusion Bombs]].

== Valorèin Warfare Philosophy ==

* Ancient [[Valorèin]] fought nude, relying on their extraordinary physiology and regeneration.

* Valorèin reject [[Cyberware]] except in cases of extreme injury.

* [[Pyrokinesis]] was once common among the High Valorèin, but the [[Curse]] reduced psionic ability in later generations.

Despite technological evolution, the One War ended in stalemate. Neither side achieved decisive victory. This fragile balance remains in place, a grim omen that true peace may remain elusive for all time.
