'''The Great War''', also known as '''The Chaos War''', was fought between the {{DOS2|Divine Order}} and {{DOS2|Black Ring}} in 1233 AD, 9 years before the events of ''[[Divinity: Original Sin II]]''.

== Overview ==
The war was instigated by {{DOS2|Lucian|Lucian's}} murder of {{DOS2|Ygerna}} earlier that year. Despite Lucian's wishes, his son {{DOS2|Damian}} had fallen in love with a member of the {{DOS2|Black Ring}}, who spurred him to seek out his 'true' destiny. Lucian, suspicious of her motives, grew increasingly concerned that Damian would be led astray, and took it upon himself to slay the witch and sever any hope of their future together. Grief-stricken, Damian revitalized the Black Ring, waging war against his father in an act of vengeance. The {{DOS2|Divine Order}} would have faced defeat if Lucian hadn't unleashed a weapon of {{DOS2|Deathfog}}. All forces in the vicinity - friend and foe - were annihilated, Lucian included. The {{DOS2|Elf|elven}} lands on which the battle stood upon were scorched beyond repair, and entire populations of civilian elves were decimated, their bodies still unburied to this day.

== Voidwoken ==
Unfortunately, the subsequent year 1234 AD saw the emergence of strange creatures arising from Deathfog. Although Lucian's sacrifice ended the Great War, his passing left {{DOS2|Rivellon}} defenceless without a Divine. To face the {{DOS2|Voidwoken}} threat, Lucian's surviving son {{DOS2|Alexandar}} is training to ascend. In the meantime, his advisor {{DOS2|Dallis|Dallis 'The Hammer'}} convinced him to bring {{DOS2|Sourcerer}}s to {{DOS2|Fort Joy}} in order to mitigate the spread of Voidwoken until he is able to ascend.
