Mar Civil War (ca. 2700 - 2800 I.D.)

It is unfortunate that historians sometimes decide to label a series of conflicts spanning a century a civil war, but calling it anything else would only confuse any students of history who studied the 28th century. The Mar Civil War was neither a single confrontation nor a confrontation primarily between groups of Mar.

As explained in the entry on The Rise of Magocracy, the early Marduxes' efforts to unite the diverse coastal city-states into a single country were largely successful, but Mar living in rural communities quickly grew to resent the magocrats who ruled them. By the end of the 27th century, the magocrats were often forced to put down small uprisings in these communities. These pocket rebellions flared up suddenly, were isolated to a single town or village, and always ended in the defeat of the mundanes. The local magocrats took survivors as slaves and sold their services to urban wizards. Not only did such slaves provide the rural magocrat with a modest income, it sent local troublemakers to places where even the mundanes largely had no gripe with the wizards.

Historians do not generally consider the pocket rebellions a part of the Mar Civil War. By almost all reckonings, this war begins with the Battle of Bleakfurd and ends at the beginning of the Marrishland Massacre.
