The '''[[Manywar]]''' was a global conflict on [[Nalthis]] that involved the nations of [[Hanald]] (the original name of [[Hallandren]]), [[Kuth]], [[Huth]], [[Pahn Kahl]], [[Tedradel]], and [[Gys]]. It occurred about three hundred years before the events of [[Warbreaker]].

==== The Tears of Edgli ====
The Tears of Edgli had made Hanald an economic powerhouse. The dyes that they produced were vibrant and prized throughout Nalthis. However, the Tears could only grow in Hanald's climate. Other nations were jealous and wished to take control of Hanald so they could profit from the dyes.
====
The process of [[Awakening]] [[Lifeless]] had already been developed before the Manywar. However, the [[Command]]s that had been known previously required fifty [[Breath]]s to create a single Lifeless. This arrested the ability for large amounts of Lifeless troops to be used in combat, it was simply too costly.
However, one of the [[Five Scholars]], [[Shashara]], was spurred by [[Yesteel|Yesteel's]] development of [[ichor-alcohol]] into making a new discovery. She invented a [[Command]] that allowed for the creation of a Lifeless with a single Breath. Together these discoveries allowed rulers to effectively double the size of their armies; along with the fact that the new troops did not eat, take pay, or feel pain and fear. Larger standing armies could be created. This made the Manywar the first conflict on Nalthis to utilize Lifeless in great numbers. Powerful Awakeners and siege engines such as ropes Awakened to throw boulders would also be used in combat. The power disparity between those with the new Lifeless Command and those without was another cause of the Manywar.
New Commands were also being discovered rapidly, a golden age of Awakening took place, due in part to the Five Scholars. These new discoveries helped further learning and knowledge, but they also provided dangerous weapons. The House of [[Idris]], ruling family of Hanald, were particularly interested in Awakening, and gained powerful Awakeners and Lifeless.
