==History==
The conflict began when [[Lord Ferrok]] ordered his [[Iron Legion]] to march against the free nations of the world. Most countries were forced to submit to the otherworldly power of the Legion. Things were looking grim, but one nation, the [[Solar Empire]], was able to muster their Imperial forces to oppose the Iron Lord.

Despite the fact that all seemed to be going well for [[Lord Ferrok]], the tide of war would soon turn against him. Overconfident, he gathered his [[Iron Legion|Legion]] forces at the Iron Tower, his personal stronghold, in order to resupply his units. Little did he know that a single Solar Grunt was able to survive the onslaught at the beach. This lone soldier met up with a handful of others that had survived the beach assault, and stumbling across the [[Staff of Qa-Len]], made their way to the Iron Tower. Imbued with the staff's power, the new Staff Bearer was able to not only inflict massive damage against the Legion forces they met on their way, but the staff also acted as a shield, minimizing damage taken. Reaching the tower, the group secretly climbed to the roof, where they activated the staff, the [[Solar Empire|Solar]] doomsday device. The staff sent a signal to an orbiting [[Solar Empire|Solar]] satellite, which absorbed the sun's rays with its solar panels, and focused them into an intense beam. The satellite took aim at wherever the signal was received from, and so set its sights on the Iron Tower. In a single, powerful blast, the intense solar energy obliterated the Iron Tower, killed [[Lord Ferrok]], and decimated his [[Iron Legion]]. The resulting shock wave carved a massive crater in the earth where the tower once stood, and would come to be known as the [[Crater of the Sun]]. Those Legion units that were not immediately destroyed would be frozen in stone for the next 200 years, when a desperate [[Countess Ingrid]] would unleash them once again.

*The term "Lightning War" is a well-known German phrase, ''blitzkrieg''. This may be a reference to the fact that the [[Iron Legion]]'s [[Xylvania|Old Xylvania]] would, in the present day, resemble Germany.

*Despite the fact that these wars took place 200 years ago, the [[Solar Empire]] used the same advanced technology that they do in the present day.
