Shadow Wars

The ‘Shadow Wars’ as they have come to be known, now that details of them have reached the surface, is the accepted term for the clandestine military use of magically-talented people during the Third World War. It is also theorized that there was a similar conflict during and before World War II, but no documentation or first-hand accounts have been located to prove this. These conflicts crossed the boundaries of the faction lines during the War. In one sense, the Shadow Wars was merely another theater in the ongoing conflict, but in another sense it was a conflict amongst the Allied Forces to determine who would come out as the new global superpower after the war was over. Russia was secretly at war with the EU, the EU was secretly at war with Africa, and China and Japan were at each others’ throats. Meanwhile, the USA was harried by Russia, Mexico, Canada, and the Caribbean Confederation – not to mention the NSA (and later the ESA) and other states that seceded from the USA during the war.

Many of the veterans of these clandestine conflicts still find themselves troubled by their actions during the war. Some of them have come forward publicly with reports of what they did, but for the most part the identities of these warriors remain closely-guarded secrets of the SDA and their home nations.
