Great Kaspanian Civil War

The Great Kaspanian Civil War, also known as the War of Freedom or Kaldra's War, was an enormous conflict waged throughtout much of the Western World. The war began exclusively as a internal war in the Kaspanian Empire but later spread over much of the western continent, involving numerous different nations.

The war is widely considered the single most destructive conflict in western history and one of the most destructive in world history. Up to 15 million people may have perished, almost half of the population of the Kaspanian Empire, but this number is only guesswork. The conflict was so destructive that entire cities that once stood as major cosmopolitan centres were completely destroyed or abandoned. Of the four most strategic and important cities of the Empire, Kaspania, Tauria, Fralenda and Nidris, only Fralenda survived.

In Dalvania, the collapse of kaspanian civilization lead to a rapid decline in trade and commerce which in turn lead to a century of unprecedented instability known as the Western Catastrophe.
