The Syntax Wars were the wars between thedude, master of degrammarisation, and the Knights of the Olde Speech, masters of the Olde Speech and defenders of grammar, and the Militiregnumian Kingdoms.
Summary
The First Syntax War (also known as Grammar War) began when thedude invaded Morcia, Militiregnum in his attempt to hide from the Nexus Force, but also increase his power in order to be able to strike against it again. It was concluded with the Battle of the Skyfalls in Elepharia, during the annual event of the cancellation of the effects of the planet's gravity near the equator, as a result of a moon passing too closely to the surface.
The Main War
During the first month after the arrival of thedude, there were mostly just skirmishes between little parts of each army (thedude's and the Morcian army). During that time, there were only two major battles that occured in the plains of Morcia, both resulting in the defeat of the Morcian army, facing heavy losses, too. Thus, King Matthias ordered a mobilisation, being in need of more soldiers. Meanwhile, the Paradox Rogues, who were a big part of thedude's army, pillaged any villages they passed by, causing a massive wave of refugees to head for Orlan, Morcia's capital, for protection.
At the end of that month, a third battle occured, the Siege of Evereed. Lord Vladek, Matthias's old enemy, having aligned himself with thedude, advised thedude that if if he captured Evereed, he'd put a lot of pressure on Matthias. Evereed was taken in a week, placing Matthias in a very bad position. Needing a solution and having also just found that his daughter, Lady Jonna, has gone missing, he decides to get help. In the yellow pages, he finds a relatively cheap band of mercenaries, the Knights of the Olde Speech, and sends a messenger pigeon to them in order to hire them.
After taking Evereed, the combined army of Paradox Rogues and Vladek's knights headed for Orlan and Matthias's castle. However, before they got there, the Knights of the Olde Speech arrived. With their leading skills and knowledge of the ways of war, the Knights manage to claim victory for Morcia at the first attack and repel the Paradox Rogues.
Sir Thingguy II, founder of KotOS, was sent to find the Princess. Indeed he located her in the Lost Plains and persuaded her to come back (for she had run away). However, while returning to Matthias's castle and after a brief meeting with Sir Talmid and Sir Legoboy on their way to meet Sir Lukas and Sir Seton, who were leading a battalion of soldiers to the Fire Hills (also known as Athelas Mountains, also known as Scary Mountains), they were attacked by Barney the Dinosaur and captured.
The rest of the Knights, together with their soldiers, fought their way to the Fire Hills and set ablaze the Fire Beacons that were meant to notify the Aquilones of Morcia's need. However, the Aquilones never came, as Councilman Accipitris had allied with thedude, persuaded the Aquilone King that if Morcia fell, it would be in the interests of Aquila. Indeed, later he even convinced the King to aid thedude with his own army.
The Knights were ambushed while descending the Athelas Mountains and Sir Talmid was captured as well. While the two Founders of KotOS and the Princess were at the hands of thedude, Sir Lukas, the third Founder and the rest of the Knights managed to repel thedude's army into the forest Mawr. At that time, through messenger pigeon correspondence Talmid instructed Luke to recruit more Knights of the Olde Speech (to add to the total number of 5). Another battle was fought in Orlan, but the Rogues were defeated once more.
