The '''Somber War''' was a military conflict involving most nations originating in the [[Commonwealth]] that lasted from 9 October 2017 to 8 April 2018.
 
The war drew in all the server's economic great powers, assembled in two opposing alliances: the [[Western Alliance]] versus [[Nox]]. Although the initial alliance only consisted of [[Hjaltland]], [[Mir]], and [[the Commonwealth]], the alliance was re-organised late in the war and expanded as more nations entered the war, such as [[Yoahtl]], [[Southshire]] (then as part of Yoahtl), [[Gensokyo]], [[Okashima]], [[Vinland]].

== Prelude To War ==
 
The conflict between Hjaltland and Lexington is much older than CivClassic and has to be viewed in the context of [[A brief account of significant events that have helped form CivclassicsCivClassic|events from Civcraft]]. Hjaltland counted among its citizenry many 2.0 WP players, such as [[Diet_Cola]], [[Xx PvP420 xX|Gerg]] and [[TangentialThreat]], while Lexington on the other side housed many members of the former Nox from 2.0, like [[VitaCoco]], [[FrenchFrys]], [[MCIsFtw]]/Reanial and most notably [[sintralin]]. Neither group had been heavily invested in Devoted, the immediate civilization server before CivclassicCivClassic, so the start of the CivclassicCivClassic picked up where [[Civcraft]] had ended. Relations were cold from the get go and both sides were aware that escalation was likely. Multiple events reinforced that belief and eventually led to Lexington's declaration of war.
 
=== Animal farm conflict ===
Line 63 ⟶ 62:
During early August 2017, [[Savion]] (located in the -,+) had been repeatedly altraided. [[Shapha2002]] realized that he could not hold up against these raids and decided to completely abandon Savion. He contacted Hjaltland to join them and Hjaltland sent multiple accounts to Savion to assist the evacuation and secure the area during it. After this was completed on August 17th, [[Frensin]] decided to scout the eastern world border cardinal spot on the way back, because world border cardinals are a prime location for vaults. Even though Hjaltland knew that both [[Anguish]] and Mir were somewhere in the east, the exact whereabouts were unknown. Frensin ended up stumbling into Anguish, who asked him to leave to which he obliged.
 
Unsatisfied with the information gained, Frensin sent TangentialThreat to further scout [[Anguish]] on an unknown alt. Anguish stemmed from a server called [[Devoted 3.0]] (a predecessor to CivclassicCivClassic), specifically the country [[Ruin]], and Hjaltland had little insight into their inner workings, so Hjaltland wanted to determine Anguish's strength and industrial capabilities and vault progress. Part of the motivation was also that Hjaltland saw Anguish as a main suspect behind the raiding in Savion. TangentialThreat was given order to either skybridge or mine under ground to avoid detection and to collect information based on screenshots and mapping data.
 
Tangent joined voice chat the next day, sheepishly admitting that he had messed up. Instead of scouting and running off, he had attempted to infiltrate Anguish by posing as a newfriend on the account 'CaitlinFoo'. Anguish saw through his impersonation and Tangent was asked to log onto Devoted with his CaitlinFoo account to prove that he was not an alt. Devoted's single account policy prevented Tangent from doing so and instead of safely logging out and giving up on the account, Tangent ended up being pearled by Anguish. Tangent confessed rather quickly when being questioned by Anguish, name dropping Hjaltland and Frensin. Negotiations in voice chat were setup between Hjaltland and Anguish on that same evening, but they went rather poorly, partially due to intoxication on the end of Hjaltland's negotiators. Meanwhile Tangent had started griefing Lexington's end claims as a bit of a tantrum. His actions didn't help his case, so shortly after, his pearl got sent to Lexington. Going into negotations, this had been seen as the worst case scenario by Hjaltand, because given Tangents history with Nox and Titan, Hjaltland assumed that Tangent would be permanently pearled. Due to Tangent not listening to orders, getting himself pearled in an incredibly stupid way, messing up relations with Anguish and leaking secrets in an attempt to buy freedom, Tangent was removed from Hjaltland groups and channels as he was being transferred to Lexington.
