The Necromantic War brought an end to the peace, though not the prosperity of the Celestial Empire. As any Pliuni will tell you, war is good for business. Quality arms and armour were in high demand, and the Empire cheerfully sold them to anyone who could pay, mainly through Pliuni traders. While the Necromancers made several incursions into Celestial territory, indeed, controlling a large portion of the Tranesian plains for the majority of the war, Zealtan cavalry made advances on the Zealsia hills impossible through constant harassment of enemy supply lines and rear areas. While casualties suffered on the whole were relatively light, the entirety of the Combat Mages' Guild was wiped out in an ill-planned attempts at driving the Necromancer forces out of Celestial territory. Fortunately, the war ended soon after, and the Empire withdrew from the international scene to lick its wounds.

History

Recorded Zealtranesian history only goes back to the beginnings of Alfar colonization, where the fractal Zealtans were rapidly subjugated by the expansionist Alfar Empire. The Zealtans were nothing if not a patient people, and they welcomed their new overlords not with open arms, but with open minds, quick to absorb the theories of governance, the technologies of weapon fabrication, and the arcane lore that the Alfar brought with them, yet always biding their time, awaiting the moment in which Zealtranesia would be free again.

That day came approximately five hundred years ago, when the Alfar governor returned to Mu with his honour guard on the summons of his lord, leaving the province under the governance of his most trusted local subordinate with orders to 'keep things going till I get back'. He never returned, of course, for the recall order was a fake, and he and his soldiers died in an unfortunate shipwreck, the first ever action by the Hashshashin in over four thousand years. They crowned the acting governor Emperor, reinstated the original names of Zealtranesia and the Zealtans, and gathered the nation's brightest scholars to hammer out a system of governance, one that still remains today.

The period afterward was relatively peaceful, for no Zealtan wished a repeat of the chaotic, pre-Alfar days. United under a single Emperor, and through a shared faith, thus began an age of prosperity that Zealtranesia had never before experienced. The lush countryside of the Tranesian plains was the breadbasket of the Empire, while the Zealsia hills housed the Adamantium mines and the Shuijing Node, feeding the armament artificers in the cities of Yücheng and Shuijingcheng with the resources they needed to produce arms and armour fit for any Alfar.

The Necromantic War brought an end to the peace, though not the prosperity of the Celestial Empire. As any Pliuni will tell you, war is good for business. Quality arms and armour were in high demand, and the Empire cheerfully sold them to anyone who could pay, mainly through Pliuni traders. While the Necromancers made several incursions into Celestial territory, indeed, controlling a large portion of the Tranesian plains for the majority of the war, Zealtan cavalry made advances on the Zealsia hills impossible through constant harassment of enemy supply lines and rear areas. While casualties suffered on the whole were relatively light, the entirety of the Combat Mages' Guild was wiped out in an ill-planned attempts at driving the Necromancer forces out of Celestial territory. Fortunately, the war ended soon after, and the Empire withdrew from the international scene to lick its wounds.
