Southern War

The Southern War was a conquest led by the rogue Magi Devan Markus, who sought to unite the Academies under one army and conquer the Verenian continent, eventually hoping to ascend into the heavens as the next stage of human life. While Devan's conquests were initially successful, the tide began to turn during the invasion of the northern kingdoms, which banded together and formed the Verenian Empire. Now facing a larger army than ever before, Devan's forces began to crumble and he was eventually assassinated by his officers on the eve of the Battle of the Rock, effectively bringing an end to the war.
