This is the page for the War known as Jagged Alliance. For the group that fought in the war, see Jagged Alliance (Group)
The Jagged Alliance is a war that shakes Marazan's very roots. It is considered one of the bloodiest wars and events in the last one hundred years. It occurs mainly throughout Erayus, Bedias, and Raxus.
Build Up[]
In 4966, when Erayan Force Emperor Opium the Third ascended to the throne after the assassination of Emperor Draco Enemi IV by a Raxian assassin. A sincere hatred was felt for the Bedias Union and Raxian Legion by the new leader, since they invaded small islands while Erayus took on the tougher work of fending back the invading Arkheons, along with the assassination of the Erayan Emperor, supposedly by the Raxian Legion. Opium spent five years denouncing the nations, but the common people felt he was anxious and afraid to go to war. In a normal protest, a fight spontaneously broke out, resulting in a riot. The destruction caused was limited when Opium made the defining speech that settled the rioters when he announced that it was decided that, for the good of the common elf, territory shall be claimed.
