War of the Book
From ThornsWiki
The War of the Book, which took place in 98 AT, was a vast war that involved all Ten Kingdoms.
History
So the story goes....
The first galdori, in Estua, had written a book that came to be known as the Balshem Tome. This was the first grimoire ever written, supposedly by powerful Estuan galdori connected deeply to the Gods. In that time, magic was newer, rawer and stronger; requiring control and balance. The grimoire spoke of this balance and how to keep it. The other nine kingdoms, jealous of the advances of the northern galdori, merged on Roannah, attempting to take the book by force. This was the beginning of The War Of The Book.
Little is known about what happened next, but it is said that every army in the country was wiped out in a single day. The book was purportedly destroyed thereafter.
After the war ended, Estua became sealed off from the rest of the world by an Everspell, which erected a protective bubble around the city. It is not known who cast this spell.
There are secrets to be unlocked regarding the Balshem Tome in game, should one go looking...
