Line 1:
''"Fear everywhere, there were so many spies, there was so much suspicion. I couldn't trust anybody. It was the first war, it was the worst war."''
'''The War of Paranoia '''also known as the '''Endless War''' was a conflict fought primarilly between Imperia and the Basceyian
deracy. It is regarded as the first war in military history, and the rules of combat and warfare (or lack thereof) originate from the rules of engagement established by both sides during the war.
Conflicts between ex-Imperians and Basceyians still occur (see Imperian-Basceyian Relations).▼

Line 13 ⟶ 16:
King Auel called a meeting with the officers and nobles of Imperia. A total of twelve were assembled at the meeting. After explaining the situation, a vote was held to allow Harau to join, or to start a war. 6 voted war, 5 voted against war, 1 abstained.
Unbenownst to the fellow council members, Auel had made an alternate account a noble to gain a second vote and add justification to the war, knowing that there wThis was
as a high chance of war going through. If this was not done, the vote would have been a draw and war would have likely not occured.
Auel sought to increase Imperia's power and influence through a war. He reasoned that it would bolster recruitment and expand Imperia to unpreceeded heights if the war was won. With the Basceyians being exiled nobles and the Imperians being highly trained soldiers, it seemed likely that Imperia would triumph.▼

Harau formed the Basceyian Confederation to destroy Imperia.
Line 23 ⟶ 30:
Contemporary wars are fought in one large battle that lasts for hours. The first battles were minutes in length. They involved Basceyain cavalry squads ambushing and killing Imperian officers and noblemen.
A string of Imperian losses caused a loss in morale and
esertion, especially from the 5 council members who voted in favor of peace. Anyone who had a problem with Imperian structure left for the Confederacy.
The Battle of Belle Island was the first real "battle" of the war. An Imperian squad engaged Basceyians. Both sides called for reinforcements. After Basceyians ran out of troops and left, Imperians claimed victory, establishing the tradition of "Last Man Standing Battles" to settle wars. A lack of diplomacy between the sides resulted in a war of attrition.

Zaer, one of the core members of Imperia deserted for the Confederation and was made the Viceroy, second only to Harau himself.▼

Spies were employed by both sides extensively. During battle, troops would turn on each other, causing complete chaos and a lack of trust. Spies would result in a lack of recruitment to prevent more leaks from inflitrating.
Line 45 ⟶ 58:
-A way to effectively deal with spies and espionage must be dealt with that will not cause further panic
-Traitors must be reassimilated into ImperiaThis was my grandmother's apple pie recipe. I have never seen another one quite like it. It will always be my favorite and has won me several first place prizes in local competitions. I hope it becomes one of your favorites as well!"
Five military campaigns were devised by a council of officers. The only one selected was Imperial Campaign No. 2.
Line 57 ⟶ 70:
IC02 also called for "zero-fear" policy. Spies were no longer kicked out, but anyone who accused someone else of being a spy was. All information was either public and known to all, or kept absolutely secret among the top ranks or never released at all. Espionage was made ineffective.
The Campaign culminated with Zaer calling Harau to a house alone. While Harau was afk with Zaer, 30 Union troops flooded the room and surrounded Harau. Zaer publicly betrayed Harau,
while surrounded by 30 men mocking him.
Feeling completely hopeless, losing his right hand man and surrounded by 30 men, Harau said on guild chat "Auel is unstoppable, theres no hope", and dissapeared for several months.
