Godshead

The Battle of Godshead was the final, catastrophic, battle in the Third Great War. The battle is the climactic ending of the Sokmet plotline, and is the cause of the demise of much of the character cast. While the battle had two forms, being present in both the Original and Rebooted storylines, this article covers only the Rebooted Godshead. The battle largely took place between Republican and Nevarian forces, though Savaran forces entered the engagement near its conclusion. Major fighting was confined to the former Fae world, Al Hasan, and its close orbit. Casualty levels are unknown, however Republican military commanders largely hold that the planet would become barren and uninhabited by the ending of combat operations.

Godshead was the focus of its own plotline, and is easily as developed as any of the Great Wars themselves. The battle is noted for the deaths of most major characters in the cast. By the end of the battle, only two mortal characters were left living, and Adrian de Leon as well. Armand's fate, and the fate of his Avatars, is deliberately left vague.

Godshead was followed up by a sequel-- Sokmet: 2000 Years After-- that explored the consequences of Godshead and the Third Great War.

Etymology
The battle was codenamed Godshead by Armand de Leon's remaining Avatars. It is believed that this name refers to Armand's plan of ascending from the mortal world and becoming a true deity. Post-War Republican scholars have also suggested that the name may be in reference to the Divine battle being waged between the Seven Divines, Seven Cursed, the Queen, and the Swarm. The battle was also referred to as Worldsend by natives of Al Hasan, due to the devastation unleashed on the world.
