Forgotten War

The Forgotten War was a conflict which occurred in Mobius' ancient history between the Echidnas and Order of Ixis. The war was a result of the latter's attempt at world domination.

Immortal Leader
During the Coming of the Chaos Emeralds, one of the many magical gems descending from the sky struck the Mobian who would become Mammoth Mogul. The Chaos Emerald, now imbedded in Mogul's chest, granted him immortal life and a vast amount of power. He was briefly able to become ruler of the small, primitive populations on Mobius. Still ignorant of the potential he had however, the Mobians eventually grew tired of his leadership and easily dethroned him. (SMM)

Mastery of Magic
Over time, Mogul was able to learn the fundamentals of the powers provided by the Chaos Emerald within him. His magical abilities inspired others to join him, who eventually learned the Ixis Magicks from Mogul himself. With a new group of followers, Mogul formed his Order of Ixis, and would attempt to retake his place as ruler of Mobius. (StH: #163, SMM)

The War
As the Order of Ixis attempted to dominate the planet, the far-more technologically advanced Echidnas of Albion opposed the their rule, beginning the Forgotten War. By the end of the conflict, the Echidnas came out triumphant, obliterating all but a few members of the Order of Ixis and its leader. This set back Mogul's plans for domination for several more millennia, and allowed the other societies on Mobius to flourish and develop freely. (StH: #163)
