The Great Majatran War was a military conflict between Kafuristan and its allies, Zardugal and Luthori, and al'Badara and its allies, Kalopia and Deltaria. Cildania also participated, although it did not join in actual combat or declare war. Hostilities also involved the Kafuri Republican Guard (the paramilitary force of the the National Democratic Party, the ruling party of Kafuristan), and Badaran anti-government forces, most prominently the Popular Democratic Alliance. It was caused by tensions between the Revolutionary Imperial Communist Society, which was in government in al'Badara, and the powerful Majatran state of Zardugal and its ally, Kafuristan.
