War and warfare has existed throughout all of the History of Civilisation. It’s strategy, tactics, logistics and weapons of war vary from place to place, and have changed drastically throughout time - though a few common wisdoms from ancient times still apply today. Wars can be formally done between sovereign states over disagreements, power or land. It can also be done on a smaller skirmish scale, without declaration, in ways more reminiscent of Banditry or Barbarianism. When a state or society collapses under the weight of its own disagreements or power struggles, a Civil War may ensue.
Many different fields and concepts have developed out of warfare - such as the organisation of levies, taxation to fund wars, blacksmithing, Mounts, leatherworking and fletching to make weapons and armour, as well as various martial arts and traditions for using various weapons, tactics for on-the-ground battles, and strategy for planning wars and power plays as a whole. Many fields of magic also owe much to warfare.
Some wars that have happened include:
- War Over Haeven.
- Sanitine Wars.
- March of the Corpse Flowers.
- Civil conflict in Rabarb.
- Rosbit Period civil war over the throne.
