Malachian War

Preface
The Malachian war began in (date), when the forces of Malachias the Pit Lord overthrew the King of Doma, claiming the land for himself. Spreading out, his advances were held back and eventually halted, as each of his generals were defeated by the other nations, and the embittered people of Doma. Near the end of the wars, the forces struck back to Doma City itself, and Malachias was defeated and destroyed. This was not without cost, however. Many lost their lives in the struggle, and Doma City itself was destroyed in a final effort by Malachias. This was a dark period in Gaera's history.
