The War of The Fellowships was a war between two clans, the Fellowship of the Kittens and The Fellowship with multiple allies being heavily included in the conflict including Triterrus and VetoTheNeato's The Drago Guard. The war began on March 14th, 2019, when player and leader of The Fellowship, TheOnlySlash, attempted to assassinate three members of the Fellowship of the Kittens out of fear that he would miss his chance to ambush them with the planned help of Triterrus, He would then attempt to kill the original members with a crystal bomb. TheOnlySlash issued a kill-on-sight order immediately after the failed attack directed towards the FOK. The FOK subsequently declared war on the Fellowship, beginning The "War of the Fellowships".

The war was largely defined throughout its official period as a cold war, most of the war was fought through opposing ideas and propaganda throughout the beginning months, with each team acquiring different allies and affiliates to aid them should an attack take place. In the latter half of the war, bases began to fall, with the Fellowship of the Kittens and the Fellowship eventually losing all of their bases. By the end of May, the war had officially "ended" by default due to the Fellowship of the Kittens formally disbanding their team and the Fellowship collapsing due to the "betrayal" of Korijenkins with many players of both sides moving on to other projects or quitting the server entirely.

First base grief

• AtacFauxpas -a member of the FOK- discovered the Fellowship's main base, Semper Idem. He severely griefed and raided the base, causing its members to flee to newer Fellowship bases such as: The Rape Cave and Fellowspear.

Progression of the "War"

Almost a month later, the Fellowship officially responded by griefing Fort Thunder, an FOK recruitment outpost/Spawn base that was leaked by nohacksjustpigs (an alt of Slash that was insiding the Fellowship of the Kittens) in order to try get coords to the Fellowship bases. By this point internal strife had caused the FOK to collapse in on itself, with many of the former members joining the Empire of Odin. These former FOK members later arrived at New Sorpigal, a Fellowship spawn base that was intentionally given up by TheOnlySlash's alt in an attempt to join the Empire of Odin.

Kittenspear and Syracusai were later leaked by the mysterious Kojed (Confirmed alt of AtacFauxpas) and destroyed by Korijenkins and TheOnlySlash. With the war all but over, Korijenkins leaked all of The Fellowships bases to YMP and Antzakes1, both of whom had taken a stance against the Fellowship. YMP eventually arrived and griefed both Fellowspear and The Rape Cave, but this backfired as the leader of the group, Jake276493, ended up being banned from the server for using an illegal minimap mod that was shown in his video of the grief.

End of the War

By early June, all major groups involved in the war had collapsed. The Fellowship of the Kittens and the Fellowship had both fallen by the end of May. The Empire of Odin, which had absorbed many former FOK members, also collapsed not long after raiding and destroying a base that was intentionally given up by the Fellowship. While The Fellowship ostensibly won by outlasting the FOK, there was no real winner of the war itself with all of the groups involved leaving the war both financially and infrastructurally decimated. Aurum was finally griefed in mid-July by the Fellowship successor group, the Dominion, bringing an end to yet another chapter of the destructive year that was 2019 on Sim PvP.
