Motives
Attraidies started the war for various reasons, but it was mainly out of the hate he had for Terrariankind that had abandoned him and his brother in early childhood. To make matters worse, the commander of the Hallowstone Forces, Gertrude, was his adoptive brother in childhood, who bullied and abused him and his brother, before finally dumping the boy in the corruption following the destruction of their village by cultist. It was resent that led him to fight the war in an attempt to bring Gertrude to justice. While this was his primary incentive, it was highly certain he was manipulated by as well.
