The First Aggeloi War

The First Aggeloi War refers to the decade-long conflict spanning from Talosian Calendar, Year 5 to 15, fought between humanity and hostile forces primarily composed of Aggeloi. Historical records predating Talosian Calendar, Year 142 document this conflict simply as "the Aggeloi War", referencing the same engagement. The war divides into two distinct phases, separated by the pivotal events of Talosian Calendar, Year 11.

The war's initial phase was marked by catastrophic disasters caused by the Aggeloi and widespread chaos among human forces. Within the first twenty-four hours of the conflict, suddenly emerging Ankhor points allowed massive Aggeloi swarms to overwhelm and obliterate humanity's earliest cities around the northern Cosmic Gate, Talos-II's inaugural city. They seized complete control of the polar region, potentially triggering the phenomenon now known as the "Aurora of Talos-II" through means that remain unknown. The subsequent six years saw surviving human populations driven southward under relentless Aggeloi pressure, progressively losing technological capabilities throughout their forced migration.

By Talosian Calendar, Year 11, the current Endministrator had assisted the remaining human factions in reorganizing their forces, enabling effective resistance against the Aggeloi incursions. This marked the transition to the war's latter phase. Following a major military campaign in Talos Year 15, Aggeloi activities in southern regions were finally contained. Significant events during this period include Sami the Feranmut joining the Aggeloi War, the "Wild Hunt Uprising" initiated by Sami's followers, and founding of the Order of Steel Oath.

For humanity, major Aggeloi disasters and combat operations concluded by the end of Talosian Calendar, Year 15. Consequently, some regard this year as the war's official end. Others maintain that the conflict truly reached its conclusion only with the establishment of the Civilization Band in Talosian Calendar, Year 17.
