First War

WE NEED A STUB BANNER

The First War refers to the period of active, direct conflict between the Eight Makers and the Dark Fiend ending with the Battle of Sacrifice. In this era, the texture of the world changed greatly, as the Eight Makers' interaction with the world took on a more militaristic tone, leading to an explosion in technological and agricultural advances. Metallurgy lead to Tedril Eladrith's regicidal blade, and soon to the development of weaponcraft generally, as each advance of the goodly races was quickly co-opted by the Servitors, and vice versa.

It is generally seen in the same terms as the prior period, excepting a shift in epics of the period is toward the heroic band of expertly armed specialists above the lone hero.
