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. The Western Alliance was reorganised and expanded as more nations entered the war: Yoahtl, Southshire, Gensokyo, Okashima, Vinland and the USA later joined the Western Alliance.

The trigger for the war was the declaration of war by Lexington on Hjaltland and the Commonwealth[1] and the subsequent obsidian bombing of Westminster, the capital city of the Commonwealth. This set off a diplomatic crisis for Nox and many nations, such as Tvtopia, Mexington publicly stated their support in favor of the Commonwealth[2] while others declared and/or kept their neutrality[3]. It was followed by a formal declaration of war by the Commonwealth[4]

After the Nox bombing of Westminster was halted and Lexington City was captured[5] and Nox fighters retreated into their bunkers, the war turned into a battle of attrition, with a trench line that changed little until the end of the war. Somewhere around early 2018, Yoahtl, Gensokyo, Southshire, Okashima, Vinland joined the Western Alliance.

Followed by a couple attempts at breaching the vault, during early April 2018 a new plan was formulated by the Western Alliance and after a two day siege the Lexington vault is broken, culminating in the end of the war. The end of the war brought peace to former warring nations, the disbanding of the Western Alliance in favor of SATO and the end of Nox.
