The skybridge on the Hell Vault during the First Hell War.

The First Hell War was a large conflict in CivRealms 2.0 focused around the siege of the vault of the same name. The war started on June 18th, 2020 following a stealth break of the vault of Varathia by a group of citizens from the former nation of Savaguard led by a Carbon outcast and a group of citizens known together the Hell Gang. A healthy majority of the server rushed to Varathia's aid, fighting through a gruesome siege over several days, including an extended 12 hour truce over Father's Day. This war marked a notable turning point on the server, and laid the groundwork for the Second Hell War and the Great War, the latter of which led to the server's eventual death. This also marked the first crack in the previously strong alliance between Cantina and Blackwater, after Blackwater betrayed the coalition and accepted the Hell Gang into their ranks. Estimates put the number of unique accounts on the coalition side at over 115, against some 10-15 defenders. (Full article...)
