Ermarian wrote:The most devastating conflict in the history of our world was the Shard War, fought some seven hundred odd years ago between the Empire and the Deep Alliance. It lasted close to eight years and resulted in the deaths of close to eight million sophonts. (At the time, the population of the world was just shy of one billion.)
It ended with an armistice formally signed at the Vahnatai city of Olgai on the third of Evermoon, 1424. Technically a surrender in all but name (as the Alliance had at that point spent virtually all of its industrial power, and was fracturing), it nonetheless resulted in the permanent peace treaty now named the Accords of Olgai. This happened essentially at the insistence of the Imperial Council, overruling the Empress (as well as populist sentiment), who intended to push for a prolonged occupation, and eventual annexation of the defeated belligerents.
The third of Evermoon, the third day of the New Year, remains a national holiday seven centuries and dozens of generations later. Unlike the celebrations immediately preceding it, it is a day of sombre commemoration.
Ermarian wrote:- the Shard Wars, in which the Empire's (and Avernum's) united expansion into the lower caves (especially the Mare Profundis region) kindled a united resistance by the other subterraneous species who feared an incursion into their territory. They struck preemptively and formed the so-called Deep Alliance. The devastation was terrible, and did not remain limited to the caves: The Deep Alliance used powerful weapons to induce seismic events, destroying many surface targets. The Empire won, eventually. This was five centuries ago.
Ermarian wrote:In more recent history, we had Empress Nahema Stark I. (15th century a.i.), under whose expansionist ambitions the Empire attempted to colonize further reaches of the caves. The civilizations that lived below (chiefly the Vahnatai and the Slithzerikai, as well as other, even remoter denizens of the abyss) perceived the threat and formed the Deep Alliance to halt the Empire's intrusion. The Shard War that followed (so named for the devastating use of crystallothaumic weapons of mass destruction, or crystal shards) was deadlier than any conflict in history for raw body count (though not relative to population).
It is estimated that about 800,000 Imperial soldiers and 600,000 Alliance soldiers perished, and more than two million civilians were killed directly; more than three million as a result of famine and disease in the parts of the caverns that were cut off by the war.

It was never resolved and caused the shattering of the Holy Empire. All of its successor states claim that they are the "true" Empire.
