War of the Nebulous

The War of the Nebulous refers to a period in which several esoteric conflicts between the supernatural and the futurological anti-mystics, primarily taking place on Earth where humans warred with opposing intelligent species and factions.

Warring in locations shadowed away from the public, both parties threaten and overpower one another with several forms of interrogation and subterfuge. Hints of conspiracy theories and public displays of thaumaturgies are spread as propaganda, deceiving the public and communities of all sizes in order to lead them to different sides as well as empowering the statuses of cults and the resurfacing of ancient religious traditions.

Common Conflicts
Most first world governments and scientific organisations, secretively informed of the conflicts, aim to exhaust the supernatural and its mystics in order to protect human civilisations and fight back the fear of a mystical catastrophe as well as the resort to primitive ways. On the other side, radicalised mystics and supernatural beings aim to exhaust the technological superiors in order to achieve the fusion of spirituality and mystical folk with the new world cultures, as well as fight in the name of vengeance within certain mystical subcultures, examples being witch hunts and the destruction of ancient artefacts. Outside of the binary perspective, organisations, such as the Santulan Movement, aim to pacify the clash between magic and technology.

Whilst the conflicts take several forms, a common operation between rivalling factions is the subjugation of 'arcane fissures', minor portals which link to supernatural realms. Reasons for subjugating the fissures involve claiming its power, travelling to said realm, research purposes or simply extermination. Squadrons are usually sent out to hunt for the fissures and neutralise the opposing factions who attempt to draw from the power of the fissure.
