The Three-Day War was an armed conflict fought on the Wendigo Continent from February 16 to 18, IY 723, thirteen months after the Mana Cataclysm brought down the Yalta Empire. When a faction claiming to be the empire's rightful heirs arrived to seize the continent's mineral wealth, the region's mining labourers took up pick and shovel under Walter Chandler and drove them out after three days of fighting. Chandler was crowned on February 19, the day after the fighting ended, in recognition of his victory, and Levantia was founded under his rule.

== Overview ==
The Three-Day War was an armed conflict fought on the Wendigo Continent eight months after the Mana Cataclysm brought down the Yalta Empire. When a faction claiming to be the empire's rightful heirs arrived to seize the continent's mineral wealth, the region's mining labourers took up pick and shovel under Walter Chandler and drove them out after three days of fighting. Chandler was crowned in recognition of his victory, and Levantia was founded under his rule.

Demand for mana and magic stones rose sharply with the emergence of the Academy of Magic, and mineral veins across the former empire were developed in turn. Among these, the Wendigo Continent was developed earliest and most extensively, owing to both its proximity to the mainland and the exceptional richness of its deposits. It remained, however, an outlying settlement rather than a seat of power — the empire exercised little direct administration over the territory, content so long as shipments arrived and payment was made.

The Cataclysm brought this distant arrangement to a halt overnight. With no capital to place orders and no treasury to issue payment, the mines fell idle, and the labourers were left with little to do but wait.

Into this vacuum came a tide of displaced people.

From this arrangement emerged Levantia's dual structure of power — governance under House Chandler, industry under the Zirconia Foundation.

== Historiographical Dispute ==
Some scholars have questioned the true scale of the invading faction. No record survives to confirm their origin or identity, and the swiftness of the power-sharing arrangement that followed the victory has been cited as grounds for suspicion. No evidence has ever substantiated these doubts, however, and the Three-Day War remains part of the official historical record.
