Interested, almost have an application ready, but have a couple questions-

How long ago did the surge of cataclysmic events for Edessa happen, and in what order? How long has Edessa been fighting the Varyan Empire, would you say?

very recently, probably only a few years at max. The Orcs began raiding the Welds and began pouring into Edessa, maybe a half a year to a year later, the Varyans launched their invasion. The war between the Varyans and Edessa probably lasted about a year to this point in time.
