The Symphony, also known as the Four Windward Wars, was a turbulent period that began in 9,889 at the Naera Technological Exposition with the assassination of Emperor Fihano and ended in 9,970 with the signing of the Concert of Delezia.

Windward War I

After the assassination of Emperor Fihano by Linyenian student Retaliz Hawina, Rokhtaera and the Nautial Peace issued a joint declaration of war on the nation of Linyen. Zandaera aligns itself with Linyen, and Mæflara declares its neutrality, but joins the Delezian Alliance after being invaded by Zandaera. Lasting only a few short years, it ends with the ceding of large portions of southwestern Linyen to the alliance, as well as the creation of the Zaphæ buffer state between Zandaera and Veiivinis.

First interwar period

A fierce arms race developed, as the Eastern Pact vowed to never again be humiliated by the Delezian Alliance.

Windward War II

Windward War II, also known as the Crimson Monsoon, was the longest of the four Windward Wars. Lasting a brutal 6 years, the Delezian Alliance was forced to dig into the ground to defend against a dual declaration of war by both the Eastern Pact and the Meó Empire. It is estiamted that a combined 18 million people combined died on the Ivini and Delezian fronts of the war, with little territory exchanging hands by the time the armistice was signed.

Second interwar period

Another fierce arms race began, as the two sides of the war sought to develop new technologies that would make trench warfare obsolete.

Windward War III

The development of tanks and airplanes during the eight year interwar period by both sides led to a fast-paced, deadly conflict in Ivinis and Delezia.

Third interwar period

Everyone developed nuclear weapons and they were excited to try them out. Nobody really knew how horrible the devestation would be.

Windward War IV

Windward War IV was the final and costliest war of the Symphony. On 9,958/68 Y, the Nautical Peace dropped an atomic bomb on the Holy Temple of Hakiism, obliterating the immediate area and causing over 200,000 casualties. The subsequent two and a half years of war would see 16 atomic weapons dropped by the Unuvunese, 13 by the Rokhtaerans, and 18 by the Meó with a total of more than 8 million casualties.

-'''Part II. Crimson Monsoon.''' Earning its name from the observation that it "never stopped raining blood", the Crimson Monsoon was the longest of the Four Windward Wars. Lasting a brutal 6 years, it saw the introduction of trench warfare as the Eastern Pact desperately tried to protect the early gains that they had made early in the war. While the Delezian Alliance began to push back, they were soon distracted by the Meó Empire's declaration of war against the Sixth Htaevic Empire. It is estimated that a combined 18 million people died on the Ivini and Delezian fronts of the war, with little territory exchanging hands.

The two powers expected the Nautical Peace to remain neutral, however the Peace unexpectedly joined forces with the Sixth Htaevic Empire as they waged their war for survival. Seeking an opportunity to reclaim Zaphae, Zandaera declared war on the Peace. However, the Peace was able to bribe Linyen to join in on their side of the war against Zandaera. The war ended in a

The subsequent two years of war would see a total of 46 more atomic weapons used by both the Nautical Alliance (the running joke was that the war was so bad they had to remove 'Peace' from their name) and the Delezian Powers in the Shattered Islands.
