The Finno-Korean Hyperwar, also known as the Hwan-Suomi Hyperwar, was an ancient war between the two most powerful empires in the world at the time. The Proto-Finnic Holy Roman Khaganate faced off against the Hwan Empire in a cataclysmic conflict that crashed the world with almost no remnants of humanity. Few groups survived the war, which claimed both the Proto-Finnic Khaganate and the Hwan Empire. It is well known for bringing the end of the Hyper Era and tossing the world into a "dark age". The war was fought from 12,245 to 12,172 BC. It is commonly debated how great of a role the secondary powers (such as the autistic dogsled-riding Yupik Eskimos) played in the war, as it is suggested that important powers like the Armenian Pipe Smoking Autocrats, the Norf-Zogs and Egyptian technocracies allied with the Hwan to stop the Finnish alongside the Pre-Irish Holy Jihadists and Neo-Swiss Banking Fanatics. The war is usually said to have begun with the Hwan invasion of Finnish India and ended with a mutual exchange of experimental Hyperspace missile strikes that caused levels of manmade destruction unparalleled across the known multiverse. To this day all Hyperspace travel and communication is impossible due to the emergent Hyperstorm. Both empires rapidly collapsed and were not seen again for nearly a dozen millennia. Whilst the Hwan are considered to have been technically victorious Followed by the outbreak of autism by the last emperor of the Hwan Empire, neither empire lasted long and humanity reverted back to cave dwelling and beleiving in religion again.
The Emu confederacy is considered a prime belligerent in the war, though they were not allied with the Finnish or Koreans and merely invaded Japan for their ample beaches. Most of what we know about the Emu faction comes from the writings of Arthur Semenitis. He writes of how the Emu confederacy colonised Mars, but unfortunately their emerging colony was destroyed, predictably and inevitably by a sonic flare gun from the nether regions of the Lemurian Empire.
Semenitis (native to Emu Mars colony) is said to have contracted mental illness later on his life from excess exposure to radioactive sonic rays, and therefore his account of the war cannot be fully trusted.Background
The conflict is estimated to have sparked around 8000 to 6000 years ago. If the Turan or Ural-Altaic hypothesis is to be believed, it is likely that the (Uralic) Finnish Empire and the (Altaic) Korean Empire were closely connected before the war. The war could then be a large-scale civil war. On the other hand, it is equally possible that the similarities were due to the massive shifts in territorial control caused by the war.[1]
The Hwan polity is known from the highly credible historical Korean text Hwandan Gogi, though the ancient Koreans appear to have a longer "year" compared to ours (much like their phalluses). The Finnish side only claims the existence of a united "Turan" empire, possibly the same as Finngolia. One explanation of this situation is that the Hwan was a secessionist faction.
There are various sources implying one of the causes of the war was a dispute over who was the rightful Roman Emperor according to Babylonian tablets. Hywarken, Emperor of Humanity and Master of the Universe, died with twin sons each laying claim to the title. The first son asserted that he was born five minutes before his brother and thus the eldest and rightful Emperor; the second son asserted that their father appointed him as his successor in a private conversation and that he was the rightful Emperor. The Empire was split between the two to prevent civil war, with the first son founding the Hwan dynasty and the second founding the Habsburg dynasty. Some sources also imply that both nations went to war over an ancestral land of Turan in north-central Asia which was right at the border of two empires.
Further information: Lemuria
Lemuria, often referred to as "the lost continent", was an ancient and mysterious landmass with advanced mystical knowledge and powerful artifacts. Its strategic location and mystical prowess made it a coveted ally and target during the Hyperwar.
Key figures
High Priest Lemminkäinen A revered spiritual leader and formidable sorcerer. Lemminkäinen was known for his wisdom and mastery of ancient Lemurian magic.
Ahnsuomi A royal family member and general of the Proto-Finns. Tactical genius, but killed at the Battle of the Hwan Space Elevators.
Major contributions
The Lemurians were renowned for their defensive capabilities, harnessing ancient spells and protective wards. These mystical defenses were crucial in repelling initial invasions and safeguarding key Lemurian sites, including the Lemurian Citadel.
Arcane WeaponryLemuria contributed significantly to the development and deployment of arcane weaponry. Their scholars and mages collaborated with the Koreans to create powerful artifacts and enchanted weaponry, which were used in various battles.
Cultural and Spiritual Influence Lemuria's rich cultural heritage and spiritual teachings inspired and bolstered the morale of allied forces. High Priest Lemminkäinen's guidance was instrumental in maintaining unity and purpose among the Lemurian and allied troops.
Key battles involving Lemuri
First Battle of Indo The First Battle of Indo was part of the Hwan "Operation V1" (V1 in reference to this being the first of the 3 V operations throughout the Eastern hemisphere) that saw the first clashes of Lemurian Hyperflaks and Hwan K‑Pop Shields, which ended up being very rare and used only in major battles. This long drawn out battle would be very much, to high command of both countries, a live weapon testing range, causing the near destruction of Indo. This battle was ultimately won over by the Korean J Model "J2" machine that was capable of boiling blood at long range using the so-called "Gorpcannon".
Battle of Field Field Despite the funny and honestly stupid name, this was a very serious decisive battle that lasted the whole of the years 8212 BC to 8200 BC. Think Verdun, except mostly fought by machines, namely the J2s and the Wizzardsmachines, used by Hwans and Lemurians respectively.
Siege of Lemurian Citadel The Korean forces, led by Empress Seondeok, in the mid-7000s, began an offensive onto Mur, occasionally called the Lemurian Citadel, putting about 982 million Lemurians at risk of absolute pulverization. Mass evacuations began, but it turns out even with incredibly advanced technology beyond your comprehension, you still can't prevent traffic jams. Only 20,000 Lemurians managed to escape Mur before Hwan paratroopers converged on the skies of Mur, launching several bombs of unknown name, but are said to be roughly as strong as 500 modern bombs, killing hundreds of thousands of fleeing Lemurians. The Lemurians decided that it would be completely necessary to utilize Hyperflak technology to basically blow the still-descending paratroopers to pieces, though K‑Pop Shields limited the effectiveness of the Hyperflaks. This resulted in a swift destruction of Mur, and Lemuria made the terrible decision of intentionally exploding the Mur Nuclear Hypercore, resulting in the Destruction of Mur and the neighboring major city of Le. 1.2 Billion died in this battle and resulting explosion, causing the total collapse of Lemuria and a short warlord era before it disappeared.
Second Battle of Indo During the last days after the siege of Mur, the City of Indo, one of the first areas taken on the Lemurian front, would be targeted by the remaining Lemurians in the "Last Offensive" which saw the Pro-Proto-Finnish side of Lemuria send in Ultrartillery, in the form of kaboomitzers, the first of their kind, never to be seen ever again as they disappeared in the middle of battle with the rest of Lemuria.
Mysterious disappearance and legacy
In the aftermath of the Hyperwar, Lemuria's disappearance remains one of the greatest enigmas. Various theories suggest that the continent was either submerged due to geological upheavals or shifted to another plane of existence through powerful magic. The exact cause and nature of Lemuria's disappearance continue to be subjects of speculation and intrigue.
Despite its disappearance, Lemuria's legacy endured through its mystical teachings and artifacts. The knowledge and artifacts left behind continued to influence subsequent civilizations and conflicts, preserving the memory of Lemuria's unique role in the Hyperwar.
