The Great Sky War (2568 to 2575) saw the Pallathantic Region change from subject princedoms and republics to numerous independent and semi-independent states. The conflict is called 'The Great Sky War' as most of its conflicts were skyborne, aerial power being the foundation of the New Kalikán Empire.
The rulers of Skerrod who had formerly sworn fealty to the Emperor of the Kalikán changed their allegiance in 2566 to the Skymark and stopped sending tribute to the Thracian Emperor. The Empire's forces occupied Skerrod and the Skymark declared war on the Kalikán Empire. In the beginning, Duchy of Asbardy and the Duchy of Aurice both remained loyal to the Kalikán Empire. By the end of the war, the Duchy of Asbardy gained independence.
The New Kalikán Empire came to an end and dismantlement with the Great Sky War, 2568 to 2575. A succession of defeats for the Kalikán (Battle of Pytharnia, Second Battle of Jardonia, Battle of Borenlas) brought about the capitulation of the empire and the settlement of the Treaty of Tauhad (2576), which saw the coronation of the first ruler of the Empire of Magdala.
The Great Sky War saw the end of the imperial sky powers ascending from the ashes of the Middle Ages of Chaos, namely the Medibgóëse, the Kalikán (Vankkagomir, Khabur), and the Gorcorumbese Geddamin.
Internal discord pitted Loyalists to the Kalikán Rulers against Reformers who struggled to establish a Commonwealth. Among the Reformers were factions who supported the Empire and factions who opposed it. On the frontier of the Empire, the skyforce fought the Skymark Federation and rebellious subjects, including the Duke of Asbardy.
Technology used included skycraft, dragonmount warfare, some titancraft vessels, and dwarvenfire.
