Wars[]
The most devastating war that Zahir has been involved in began when Apophis, the leader of Naropia, a known rogue, launched a nuke at Zahir. Apophis was acting on orders from Tealc, the ruler of Chocra and also the Leader of the rogue alliance the Order of World Nations (OWN). Many Zahirians lost their lives during this attack. Thanks to the many allies that Zahir has made, counter attacks began immediately, bringing Apophis swiftly to his knees begging for mercy on the world stage.
