Four Phases of Combat

Story so far

A permanent interface box tracks the war's structure for every warlord. The Ceasefire runs first, with fifty hours left as the chapter opens. Ramp-up Phase triggers when the ceasefire ends and lasts 180 hours. Open Hostilities triggers when Ramp-Up expires. The Peeling of Larracos triggers once only four teams remain.

Baroness Victory insists Carl and Donut memorize the rules of each phase immediately, since Ramp-Up alone strips them of teleportation, offensive magic, celestial summonings and free movement across borders. The staged design is transparently intended to force bloody hand-to-hand fighting before the true chaos of Faction Wars begins.
