The War of Making was the conflict between the Slow Empires of the Inanimae short times before the Shattering. It began when the other Inanimae accused the Solimondes of giving humanity the gift of fire, which enabled the mortals to subdue other Inanimae and gave them control over the other elements. Many anchors of the Inanimae were krofted and formed by humanity during this time and often, this altered their complete personality and let them fight their former brethren.
