The war between the two guilds, Ascent and Dragonir, took the world by storm. Each guild had at least a hundred thousand members, far more than any other guild in the world. Not even kingdoms had armies as large as these, so this became the next world war.
Glory List, the website that gathers data about guilds worldwide, was considered the catalyst of this catastrophe. It started because of the ranking it imposed, which claimed to push the guilds to compete but resulted in nothing but bad blood between them.
Ascent was a rising guild in the world. Even though the world refused to acknowledge it as legitimate, most people realized that the guild's sole purpose was to save as many lives as possible. This made them loved and idolized globally.
