The '''First Hell War''' was a major world war between a group
==Prelude==
=== The Rise of Blackwater and the Dissolution of the Kingdom of Savaguard ===
The arrival of former ReCharge<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/ghh177/recharge_recruiting_for_new_city_rivers_end/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x</ref> members on the server in the new nation of Blackwater rapidly disturbed the established geopolitical situation on the server - the former top dog, Savaugard, had a strong challenger in the burgeoning Blackwater-Cantina alliance. The invasion of Eslenti<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/gs1i8r/civ_news_cantina_takes_eslenti_city_no_casualties/</ref> and Savaguard's refusal of their ally's pleas for assitance showed weakness, and this was soon exploited when a group of Cantinans breached the Savaguardian vault, and it fell without any bloodshed<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/gtzwbo/regarding_the_graveyard_events/</ref>. What followed was a complete collapse in both Savaguard's desire to fight, and the very nation itself, as the king Invader1337 abdicated and the nation balkanised into many small nations in a loose defensive alliance<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/gwa1xd/regarding_the_dissolution_of_savaguard/</ref>. While Savaguard had been defeated, many remembered the injustices performed., These grievances later extended to include GDAN (after he was pearled) and later the [[Roman Empire]], as Cantinan mercenaries under R&S were contracted to return the former lands of [[Columbia]] to independent control. Cantina and Blackwater seemed undefeatable - at least, until a new power rose to challenge their newfound hegemony.
===Chungus-Varathian Border Incidents===
A series of minor scuffles on the border between [[Chesham]] and [[Chungus]] resulted in two minor conflicts that were quickly resolved by cooler heads <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/gy59gl/the_state_of_cantinavarathia_affairs/</ref>, but tensions remained reasonably high between the nation and the rapidly growing city on their border, slowly encroaching on their territorial claims. Many believed an escalation into further conflict was likely. Most of all, the negotiations and general performance of Varathia showed weakness to be exploited.
=== Olendor Aqua Nether Attacks ===
On the 8th of June, Saren (assisted by kicky) trapped the Olendor Aqua Nether portal <ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZFfwOVR3Wg</ref>. Varathia, assisted by their Otonabian allies, managed to rally troops to push the invaders out, with Saren and kicky abandoning their position under overwhelming force.
As the attack on Varathia happened, many Chungesians arrived at the scene to protest for their lives. The people of chungus were unsure of what to do and so called out for Chungus Lives matter. Soon after, the clicking moved over to Chungus City and citizens slowly began to gear up for defending Varathia.
==The Battle of Varathia
The battle begun on the 18th of June after Varathia had discovered their vault being attacked by a mixed group of alts and known players via snitches and first hand accounts, at the time of discovery it was unknown how they were able to breach the vault and get to the center. By the time the majority of Varathian forces were able to log on it had already been under siege for around 10 to 15 minutes and thus it wasn't feasible to put up much of a defense of the vault itself and the battle soon became an attempt to retake the vault. By this time the vault was effectively discovered to be broken via sky-bridge and under the attackers control via city bastions, while minor skirmishing was happening outside the vault and in the general area, including Chungus, Chesham and Olendor proper. Numerous Civilian causalities took place, being around 6 players in number, and also the pearling of fighters within and around the vault in trenches, most notably Ibis1804.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/hbtkhq/taking_out_the_trash_ibis_final_moments/</ref>
