The Gladiator War was a conflict between the slave uprising calling themselves the Slaves of Free Drakonia and the Drakonian Empire fighting against this uprising in an effort to thwart their advances, prevent them from freeing themselves, and, unbeknownst to them, save the economy from certain collapse. Alas, the war, despite being a victory, resulted in the loss of all but a few loyal to the slave cause. They were freed, but only 100,000 out of the booming 15% of the Drakonian population they had made up before.
