The War of Many Names was the second realm-wide, centuries-long war against Tiamat the Dragon Queen, after her return in 793 PR, and the countless Dragons she had been raising for nearly a millennium on the island of Kiston. The War lasted so long, and evolved on so many fronts, that it is still highly debated whether it should be treated as one very big war, or broken up for the distinct wars that rose and fell over the centuries.
List of Names
The War of Dragons
Realm War II
Tiamat's political machinations pitted her foes against one another. As during the first Realm War, political regions across Quelmar clashed over territory and resources, but now dragons continued to ravage the land.
The Second Holy War
The War of Red Water
The War of Apotheosis
Combatants
Tiamat's Armies
Tiamat enlisted the full force of the dragons in Kiston, as well as unlimited supplies of draconic armies, pulled from sources still unknown. For ground attacks, Tiamat used both Draconians and Draco-Orcs. Draco Orcs were reserved mostly for operations closer to their homeland of Kiston.
History
At one point approaching the year 1000 PR, The Hermes Seal was enacted, devised by the gods of Olympia in Arborea, it forged a pact between rulers of the Outer Planes and limited how souls could enter the afterlife.
