The '''First Hell War''' was a major world war between a group colloquially known as the Hell Gang, and a large coalition of allied nations formed to fight them. This war saw a truly massive number of players (over 100) band together to free their allies and bring the Hell Gang to justice. This Gang compromised of citizens of the former states of [[Savaguard]]

On the 18th of June, a group of ex-Savaguardian citizens and several other allies, mostly on alt accounts, , stealthily constructed a small attack bunker in the desert south of Chesham to use to skybridge the Varathian vault directly north. The attackers made effective use of weaknesses in the (perpetually) incomplete vault to disable it largely without Varathia realising. By the time the attackers started hitting snitches within the vault, it was simply too late for the defenders. The Central Powers alliance was invoked, and allies from Otonabee and Mount Augusta were rallied to defend the vault. This proved to be catastrophic for the defenders, with combat around the vault, trench and surrounding desert costing Varathia and her allies several pearls, most notably the MtA mayor xkevio, Ibis1804 and Otonabian binchymonkey<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/hbtkhq/taking_out_the_trash_ibis_final_moments/</ref>.
As the attack on Varathia was underway, many Chungesians arrived at the scene to hold a Chungus Lives Matter protest.
=== Motivation ===
It wasn't until the war was well underway that the motivation behind the attacks was revealed in a release by Vanax in a (now deleted) reddit post<ref>https://pastebin.com/1TDiVynC</ref>, stating that the attacks were largely due to the aforementioned AN attacks, Varathia disabling the Olendor-Alexandria rail tunnel (for upgrades), and for the expulsion of the Borisian people from the settlement of [[Boris|New Boris]] in the now famous Borisian Genocide. The accuracy of motivations remain disputed, due largely to Vanax's prior unwarranted aggressiveness towards Varathia.
▲==The Battle of Varathia Vault==
With more allies remaining, and Chungus and nearby Blackwater choosing to intervene in the conflict on Varathia's side, combat shifted south to the attack bunker<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/hbwo80/fight/</ref>. Here, the allies were able to force the retreat of the attacking forces, at the cost of several pearls. Several accounts were logboxed within the now occupied bunker, a costly, disorganised counterattack costing the allies a total 8/9 pearls. One minor victory came in the form of kicky's pearl, as he accidentally logged back into the server meaning to play hypixel, representing the Hell Gang's first big loss<ref>https://pastebin.com/rx6uDTUp</ref><ref>https://reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/hcvsks/pvp/</ref>.
The attack on Varathia's vault left them with several active members pearled, their vault partially disabled and hostile bastioned, but also left them with two powerful, unlikely allies in Cantina and Blackwater., and they were out for blood. Carbon also issued a reddit post, admonishing the attack, and indirectly condemning Vanax for his involvement, stating ''"Any citizen of Carbon participating in the attack will not be protected from those seeking justice for this offensive"''<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/hblzxk/an_admonishment_against_those_who_attacked/</ref>, but also refusing to intervene.
▲== Allied Counterattack into Chungus ==
==Siege of Hell Vault==
===Initial attack===
The war soon transitioned from an attack on the now enemy held Varathian vault and
Cantina and Blackwater forces began construction on the attack bunker during the night before the battle, but due to accidents, the location of the first attack bunker and attack tunnels were leaked by the potion status macro during the night. This resulted in the structure being immediately attacked by the Hell Defenders and disabled. The construction of a new attack bunker
The Hell Gang had bolstered their numbers following the attack on Varathia, and with Blackwater and Cantina joining the allies, this pushed several nations (namely former Eslenti and Boris) to join the defence, along with volunteers from the Roman Empire.
▲Cantina and Blackwater forces began construction on the attack bunker during the night before the battle, but due to accidents, the location of the first attack bunker and attack tunnels were leaked by the potion status macro during the night. This resulted in the structure being immediately attacked by the Hell Defenders and disabled. The construction of a new attack bunker was then started directly east of the Hell vault. It would be this bunker that would serve as attack bunker during the entire duration of the conflict.
The early coalition
=== Alexandria's Vault is Stolen ===
▲===Battle of the desert===
While the war was well underway, prominent Alexandrian Le_Brine arranged to donate materials to the allied effort, but was fooled by Phacad4 - a fake alt of SirCrowley pretending to be Blackwater leader, phacad3. Crowley took the supplies and then pearled Le_Brine, returning to the Hell Vault untouched. When it became clear that Alexandria was leaning towards assisting the allies, Vanax stole the groups to Alexandria's ocean vault that he had constructed for them under contract for his business, VaultCo. This necessitated a small Alexandrian strike group go and disable their own vault, taking them briefly out of the siege.
▲The early coalition, made up of Cantina-Blackwater-Varathia, began the assault on Hell vault in the eastern desert. Hell defenders attempted to hold back the assault with bows and the occasional sword skirmishes. As coalition forces broke bastions, an obsidian path was made from the forward bunker up to the vault trench. The obsidian path was created to shield the attackers from rumored sand traps created in the weeks prior.

===Attack tunnels===
Under heavy fire, the allies began putting pressure on the edges of the Hell Vault, tunneling underground and fighting along the surface on friendly obsidian. This combat was slow and costly (with several pearls lost<ref>https://reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/hd8z1k/pickled_rick/</ref>). However, allied morale was high and the numbers were strongly in favour of the allies, even more so when Otonabee called on the [[Laurentian Seas Alliance]] (LSA) to assist them in the war. This lead to two full days of heavy fighting around and under the Hell Desert, with the defenders putting up a significant effort to hold the attacking swarm at bay. This was especially true during EU hours, when allied numbers were lowest. Many defenders pulled long hours to hold the vault given the need to defend the vault outnumbered at all hours of the day.

The allies lost many critical pearls in this time, losing Posey to a spleef<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/hcojfm/the_rebel_alliance_scores_a_fat_one/</ref>, SeaRed and later Vah. Regardless, the allies soldiered on.
