Great Interran War

The Great Interran War was a major military conflict in Interra that lasted from 24 2A to 28 2A of the Second Age. All but two countries were involved in the war in some way. Two opposing sides formed; the Brotherhood and the Committee. It was the bloodiest, most expensive, and largest war ever waged on Interra and irreversibly changed the political, economic, and cultural landscape of the continent and it's people.

The Elven Kingdom
Etho-nationalism from the various ethnic groups of elves living in the kingdom had been growing for decades under the rule of Queen Zeichlel.

Within the Kingdom of Freecloud, ethno-nationalism had been growing slowly for several decades under the rule of Queen Zeichlel. She had inherited the throne in 9 1A and turned Freecloud from a small village into a rich kingdom with multiple overseas colonies by 32 1A. Many Tranquilic elves began to believe that the speed that Freecloud was able to achieve prosperity was proof of the ethnic superiority of the Tranquilic people.

Queen Zeichlel, who was a believer of Tranquilic supremacy herself, began to implement racist laws in 39 1A, when she barred all humans from entering Freecloud City, Greengrove, and the Serene Coast. She pressured Duke Zerlos of Greymount to do the same, but he refused, setting off the Tranquilic-Roughic War. Greymount won the war with the help of the Empire of Gorukai and had effectively cut off any connection that was left with the Tranquilic elves or Freecloud, creating a distinct identity known as the Roughic elves. This loss infuriated Queen Zeichlel and her supremacist supporters, and signaled that even non-Tranquilic elves could not be trusted. Racist policies against humans, the Essenic, and the Serenic would become the hallmark of Queen Zeichlel's reign.

Following her death in 205 1A, Reimine inherited the throne in spite of Prince Onegomar's popularity. Reimine controversially granted independence to Greengrove just three days into to her reign, to show that she would not continue her mother's racist policies. Onegomar founded the Tranquilic Brotherhood in response to this, and began to make plans to depose his sister and take back Greengrove. The Tranquilic Brotherhood operated under the shadows for decades before finally revealing themselves during a failed coup in 248 1A. Onegomar would be punished with 14 years of house arrest for his role in the coup, an unusually weak punishment. After serving his time, Onegomar returned to Freecloud City with the support of the majority of the populace and initiated another coup, this time successfully, and murdered the entire Eronil family and took power in the kingdom. Queen Reimine and Princess Meseryn were the only survivors of their family's massacre and fled to the Kingdom of Greenwood. The Tranquilic Brotherhood quickly re-implemented all of the late Queen Zeichlel's policies that Reimine had abolished.

Heartlands
The Heartlands had been a war torn region since before the first age. Initially made up of hundreds of kingdoms, it took only until 44 1A for these kingdoms to coalesce into seven kingdoms; Avanzante, Eben, Greenwood, Montana, Pluie, Taiga, and Thalassia. These seven nations all had serious mistrust towards each other, and border skirmishes or all out war would occasionally break out between them.
