Cicigean genocide

The Cicigean genocide refers to the ongoing mass ritual human sacrifice conducted by the various factions of Cicex since 4607 CY. It stemmed from the disastrous ramifications of Cicex's entry into the Copper War, which led to the fracturing of the centralized Cicigean state into rival warring factions. Each faction sought to earn the favour of Quei through increased mass human sacrifices through industrialized methods. By 4627, it is estimated that over 3.4 million individuals have been killed as part of this event.
