The '''Red Terror''' is a widespread ongoing armed conflict | The '''Red Terror''' is a widespread ongoing armed conflict that began on 10 August 494, when the Casiric High Priest [[Raysh|Zehr/Raysh]] slaughtered the Lucian population of Marnova and received the [[Marnova prophecy]]: a set of prophetic instructions from the god [[Casir]] on how to attain divinity. The conflict is the most recent Casiric [[Terrors|terror]] and one of the most significant conflicts ongoing in Marillia. | ||
the conflict | Tensions began rising in [[Phoena]] as the Casiric High Priests Zehr/Raysh and [[Sorhan]] competed to fulfill Casir's commands: kill a pregnant princess, and slay the last dragon in Marillia and use its heart to destroy the Phoenic city of Lozanre. The [[Casiric Church]] split into two major factions: the White Casirists, who follow Zehr/Raysh (c. 20-25% of the Church), and the Red Casirists, who follow Sorhan (c. 40-50% of the Church). However, the conflict exploded with the intervention of the dragon goddess [[Nyssa|Nyssa/Tiamat]] and the pronouncement of the [[Troyosha heresy]]: the radical new doctrine that [[Casir]] and [[Nyssa]] are one and the same deity. Tens of thousands of yuan-ti in the [[Grimdark]] received dreams in which Nyssa seemed to command them to journey to [[Troyosha]] and swear themselves to Sorhan. Shortly after, [[Arkhan|Arkhan the Godslayer]], supreme commander of Nyssa's armies in Avernus, arrived in [[Marillia]] and formed a duumvirate with Sorhan. | ||
with warfare in [[Phoena]], across the continent of [[Aluray]], and in [[Avernus]]. | With the discovery that the last dragon is in [[Aluray]], war spread to that continent. Northern Seuvia was quickly overrun by Arkhan's forces, while southern Seuvia was overwhelmed by a Zehirite<ref>Zehir is Casir's name in Seuvia</ref> insurgency. Taking advantage of the situation in Seuvia, where the [[godstones]]—powerful alien artifacts corrupting the land with a supernatural plague named the "[[Glow]]"—Arkhan obtained the [[godstones|northern godstone]] and used it to attain power unseen in Seuvia since [[Revaxa|Queen Revaxa's]] time. | ||
