Great War

The Great War was a global conflict that pitted humans and non—humans for dominion of the world.

History
Prior to the conflict, humans and non-humans originally lived together in peace. Their two cultures coexisted for a time, until humans began to question why so many non-humans looked so vastly different from each other. Such behavior was unheard of among the non-humans, who tool offense to this as they never once treated other differently because of their looks.

From there on prejudice developed among humans who looked at the non-human races with suspicion and began categorizing them together as grotesques. Suspicions turned to fear when huma settlements that neighbored non-human settlements began to erupt in violence towards them. The violence culminated in armed conflict between humans and non-humans.

In the end humanity lost the war, the survivors lost all cohesion and were scattered.
