Ophidian War

The Ophidian War is the name given to the attacks by Ophidians on various cities. The war was started by Ricardo the Thief, when he stole a sacred egg from the Ophidians. Though stealing, or for the matter, killing, Ophidians is not normally a crime, in this case it started a war, so Ricardo was caught and was tried in the Court of Truth.

As of early in 2008, Ricardo was still awaiting execution for his crime.

The Ophidian War featured different Ophidians than had been previously seen. They had military ranks and fought in an organized manner. Ophidian Berserkers were also seen during this event cycle.

In order to beat the invasion, the Ophidians had to be defeated in a specific sequence. First, a specific sequence of locations within each city, and then after that a specific sequence of cities.

On some shards, the war was never quite won on the Felucca facet, and the city of Papua in the Lost Lands is still infested by Ophidians.
