Replaying Guiren quest made me think about the possibility of a civil war.
I know that right now the chances of a civil war happening is zero, the Inner kingdoms have nothing to win and everything to lose but let's just indulge in the thought of it.
As of the most recent chapter if a civil war were to breakout during the Trials who or what you guys think could trigger it, what the early stages would look like. Personaly I think the Cursed and the Wild lands are the most likely to trigger one, obviously for different reasons and methods.
Wild Lands: They would be destroyed. While they are strong, every individual soldier believes themselves to be the best and the strongest; in other words, they would end up as scattered small groups—or even lone individuals—facing larger, better-organized, and more cautious armies.
Mystical Lands: They would fare well, but would likely lose due to attrition. They are intelligent and possess incredible spells and equipment, yet they seem constantly bogged down in academic debates—which would likely make them slower and less efficient.
Bladed Lands: The most probable winners. Their only weakness is that their code of honor might make them predictable, but everything else more than compensates for this.
Sacred Lands: They might not win, but they would CERTAINLY survive. With force fields, telekinesis, healing powers, blessings, and a population that is ABSURDLY loyal, they would be unbeatable in defense—though perhaps not the best at conquering new territories.
Cursed Lands: I have absolutely no idea.
