Core War

The Core War was a war fought across Spherus Magna among the world's rival elemental states for possession of Avhagnu wells springing from the planet's core for the goal of unlimited power. The Element Lords, leaders of the countries of Spherus Magna, initiated the fighting, conscripting their people to fight in their armies. The war eventually culminated in the planet-wide cataclysm known as the Shattering, resulting in the death of billions of lives and Spherus Magna itself being split into three separate fragments, making the Core War the largest and most devastating conflict in all of history.

History
Centuries before the war erupted, the Great Beings, immortal scientist-kings who ruled the entire planet, grew tired of governing world affairs and all the trouble that came with it. So the Great Beings selected the most powerful and influential leaders of the cultures of the world, and crowned them as kings over their respective peoples. As part of the coronation process, the Great Beings led the new leaders to a secret laboratory underneath the land where Tajun would later be founded, and gave them power armor that would reflect their culture groups and then use the armor as a conduit for elemental powers that were also reflective of their peoples, turning them all into living, immortal incarnations of various natural elements. They would be dubbed as the Element Lords, as well as be known by other names, such as the Zadishah Nahita, the Second Pantheon (after the Great Beings), and more down the road. their names were: The new rulers then created the Great Council, which would serve as a meeting between the rulers of the world, the meetings done at a new building named the Palace of Unity located on the moon Dimmelykt (built with the help of the Great Beings), which could only be accessed via space-gates from inside the keeps of the Element Lords.

For a hundred years the Element Lords reigned over the world in peace, they sorting out international disputes by the Great Council. But by all their power, both special and political, their hearts grew corrupted, which matched the unaffected degradation of their mortal bodies, they all eventually appearing as corpses coursing with elemental energy. They all sought means to attain unlimited power. Ezen Galyn acted as a prophet and created a religion around himself yet would still be able to draw in the native Grunkharists of the land; Jarra conducted genetic altering in a bid to better unify his people and creating a super-race; Puidami's power made him insane; Tonnur saw himself as the avatar of the krahagnu collectives; Kulak also became fascist, making his people immune to cold, and Thalassonon, the most stable of the Element Lords, experimented on some islands to create an unstoppable race of amphibious sea-people. Tensions rose as their ideologies or egos would contest with another, all it taking was something to set into motion the gears of war.
