War of Reclamation

The War of Reclamation is an ongoing and seemingly never-ending conflict among the various new age factions/religions. The War has involved dozens of factions and religious consisting of the survivors of the Denouement Crisis.

Following the Denouement Crisis in the early 2000s, humanity was effectively sent back to the stone ages. Gone were the days of nations and allegiances to flags and kings. With a new world greeting the denizens of Earth so came the requirement for a new degree of order and structure. People now flocked not to countries or nations but rather to religious foundations and orders that persisted with the goal of making sense of recent events by providing some voice of reason to define the unexplainable events of the Denouement Crisis.

The first of these new age factions to arise was the Holy Order of Light (Ordinis Sancti Paterni luminis). Following their formation around the ruins of The Vatican Palace, loosely organized Cultists attempted to stop in the proper establishment of the holy order from taking shape and spreading any degree of influence. Only two years after the Denouement Crisis, the first battle of the War of Reclamation would be upon humanity.

The First Battle
A collection of disorganized Cultist lead by a wicked figure known only as 'Chemosh' were gathered near the woodland tree-line surrounding the ruins of the holy city. At the time, there was only a lackluster garrison of sentries that were swiftly rushed and slayed by the swarm of flagellants and insidious beings that overwhelmed them with brute force. It didn't take long for the for the rest of the Holy Army to arrive and begin to fend off the horde of bloodthirsty cultists. Both sides suffered hundreds of casualties as there was little comfort in allowing the first battle of a war of such biblical proportions be handed off to the adversary. The cultists fought tooth and nail against the Holy Army, fearing that their existence would anger the Entity and bring about more destruction and chaos to their homeland as it did during the initial Denouement Crisis.

When the last Cultist was slain and the final volley of muskets had been fired, it was the Holy Army that stood atop a blood soaked hill and basked in the glory of their broken opponents. The first battle belonged to that of the Holy Order, but that Cultist foes would only continue to learn for these early battles and continue to reign hell upon the Order and its inhabitants for years to come. The leader of the Holy Army at the battle was none other than Lord Karl Tabris who chanted this now famous sermon to his men following the battle:

"Today we have bleed and we shall continue to bleed.

But our hearts beat strong while theirs run dry.

''We are the victors this day. We will continue to be victors in the eyes of God.''

''Humanity will forever be within our hearts. Rejoice and prosper as we venture towards the Kingdom of Heaven!"''
