The War in the Dreaming
Introduction
The War in the Dreaming was a cataclysmic event spanning 2011-2014, where the barriers between the realms and eventually the realms themselves were violently and overwhelmingly assaulted by The Adversary (an event which had never before occured). The Fae, alongside other entities, fought against The Nothing, an all-consuming force of entropy. This conflict reshaped the political and magical landscapes of multiple realms, including Earth, Wonderland, Oz, the Dreaming, and The Otherside. The war marked the rise of key figures like The God-Emperor, The Raven, and led to the creation of The Treaty that established the Grand Concordian Empire. This monumental event reshaped the balance of power in all realms and altered the course of history for both the Fae and humanity.
Description
The conflict erupted as the boundaries between realms weakened, allowing The Nothing, a force of pure destruction, to invade and devastate key Fae strongholds like Ev and Lorean. The war led to the deaths of many great leaders and caused a ripple of chaos that fractured the old orders. During the height of the war, figures like The Raven, Lord Echo, and The Fox fought valiantly to defend against the encroaching forces of The Nothing. The fall of Lorean, known as "Echo's Last Stand," marked one of the darkest points of the war.
It was in these final desperate moments that The God-Emperor emerged. He united the surviving Fae and human magical forces, establishing The Treaty, which bound the remnants of the magical and mortal realms to his new empire. Central to his success was the creation of the Concordian Barrier, a protective force that shielded the Concordian territories from further incursions by The Nothing and other external threats. This barrier now defines the borders of the Grand Concordian Empire, limiting its expansion but providing much-needed stability in a post-war world.
The Concordian Barrier acts as both a defensive spell and a political boundary. It prevents large-scale invasions and insurrections, ensuring the God-Emperor’s rule remains uncontested within its confines. While the barrier holds strong, it also restricts the Empire’s influence, as extending beyond it would expose the Empire to new threats from other realms. Despite this, the Concordian Empire's power is unmatched within its borders, with the Emperor maintaining control over all who live within the barrier through fear, loyalty, and the threat of Sin Runners, elite assassins tasked with eradicating traitors.
The war ended with the defeat of The Nothing, though its lingering influence remains a threat at the edges of reality. With the Concordian Empire established, the Emperor now governs from within the protective boundaries of the Concordian Barrier, ensuring peace through absolute control and ruthless enforcement of his will. However, while the barrier provides security, the tension between maintaining order and the Emperor’s desire for more power persists, hinting that the true end of the conflict may yet be unwritten.
This post-war world, secured by the Concordian Barrier, is fragile but stable, a constant reminder of the Empire’s strength and the price paid to preserve it.
