War of the Six

This was a planet-scale war that took place during the Umbral Age (Umbral Epoch, Umbral Era, Umbra), waged between the Vedalken, the Primal Races, The Progenitor Gods, the Prime Evils, and entities known as The Desolate.

When attempting to create a god, the technologically superior civilization of Vedalken accidentally unleashed the secretly imprisoned Prime Evils. A catastrophic war between the Prime Evils, the Desolate, the Primal Titans, and mortal races of Eldspire ensued, lasting several years.

A divine and arcane war ravaged Eldspire with supremely powerful mortal wizards and warriors doing battle against Demi-gods, titans, and new entities known as The Desolate.

The vast majority of Eldspire races were killed, civilizations wiped from the planet by raw magical and divine power.

Sensing the destruction of the planet, the Primal Titans emerged from their lairs to defend their home. They were eventually defeated by the Progenitor Gods and their Demi-god children. The Vedalken used the corpses of the Primals to craft immensely powerful weaponry known as Remnant of the Primals (The Remnants).

Six warriors and wizards made themselves known through heroic deeds during the Primal Wars, and they were bequeathed the Remnants as weaponry to aid in battling The Desolate and the Prime Evils. These warriors were known as The Sentinels (The Six).

With the combined help of The Sentinels (The Six), The Progenitor Gods, The Serpentine Concord, and the Vedalken, the people of Eldspire were able to beat back The Desolate and re-imprison the Prime Evils.

Their defeat imminent, The Desolate, with the help of the Prime Evils, manifested a great magical scourge known as The Blight. Eldspire was wreathed in a dark mist that corrupted the land, sending the planet into an age of darkness known as the Umbral Age (Umbral Epoch, Umbral Era, Umbra).
