Many associate the realm of war with the most spectacular and obvious effects of a protacted military campaign. Pictures of armies arrayed against each other are easy to conjure in any mind. Sieged walls, knights riding out in armour and even hordes of demons upon the field are the easiest physical manifestations of war that one can imagine. The realm of Aegis, however, is not limited to the bloody battleground. Aegis' realm encompasses any skill, task, philosophical or social activity that in some fashion creates or perpetuates conflict.
