Dhurman Civil War

In the years leading up to the arrival of Him and the events of the Godsfall, the upper-caste leadership of Dhurma was actively courting the Eastern religions and various churches of the Twelve Gods. In exchange for gold, miracles, and luxurious gifts, the upper-castes welcomed the Twelve Churches into Dhurma, beginning the decline of the ancestor-worship common to the lower-castes of Dhurma. However, when the Godsfall occurred and the catastrophic events following His arrival upon Firstworld, the Dhurman lower-castes seethed with anger and revolted. They drove out the easterners, razed their churches, and overthrew the upper-caste whom they perceived as betraying them. For the first time in history, the caste system has been abolished (formally), though class discrimination still occurs. Hostility still remains between Dhurma and the outside world, and while open battle has never occurred, easterners are treated poorly and tensions are high. Ancestor-worship has surged since the churches' exodus.

The war took place between loyalist lower-caste members and a larger lower-caste group which believed in rebellion, along with some support from the Twelve Churches (especially Magnus) early on. After a few defeats, however, the Churches quickly pulled their support from the war and, for the most part, abandoned the nation.
