A History of the Arakkariac War (artifact)

Unlike most other works on the topic, this dry and technical tome attempts to objectively analyze the Arakkariac War, which engulfed most of the Proto-Aversarian world from 338 BI to 332 BI.

It refutes numerous flawed views of the war that grip the popular imagination—for a start, that the Aversarians of the Tower Isle were enslaved and ritually cannibalized after their conquest by the Arakkariacs in 393 BI. Second, that Naramaššin's invasion was completely unjustified, as disproven by the countless records of Orasbaeli, Valthronax, and Tylonic provocations in the years leading up to the conflict. Finally, the assertion that the Arakkariac realm was left shattered and in retreat after the Battle of Paelon Hill, instead painting it as an important, but ultimately relatively small clash that merely proved the unprofitability of continued conflict.

Furthermore, the work posits that the conquest would likely have been successful regardless, had the empire not disintegrated in a bloody civil war after its monarch died in the same year as the battle.
