'''Warfare in [[ | '''Warfare in [[Lethurîa]]''' has persisted since the earliest echoes of creation. Though [[Spirits and Souls|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 near extinction events, spiritual rebellions, and [[Free Species]] unending fight for survival against [[Malisik]]. | ||

The first documented war in | The first documented war in Lethurîa's history was a chaotic battle between ancient spirits in the [[Pre-Mortal Existence (Lethurîa)|Pre-Mortal Existence]]. Their objective was to contain the evil of [[Malis]] and his followers, corrupted spirits, 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 other spirits. The war, fought with bladed weapons and raw brutality, devastated [[Yedistren]]. 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 [[Yedistren]]. Essential the [[Sebuuk]] got what they wanted after all. | Eons later, the First War began between the [[Sebuuk]] and [[Sherok]].
