The Clan Wars^[1] is a sequence of events that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. They were a series of wars between the four Clans in the Dragon Kingdom - the Raiju Clan, the Yagyu Clan, the Gossamer Clan, and the Shinobi Clan - which took place across several years. The Clan Wars continued until 3237, when they were brought to an abrupt end by the actions of the Iron Queen.

History[]

Past[]

Generations ago, the four Clans of the Dragon Kingdom fought against each other in the Clan Wars, while the Free People attempted to stay away from the situation. Although the Raiju, Gossamer, and Yagyu clans battled each other for their own gains, the Shinobi Clan attempted to protect the Free People from the other three Clans, leading to them being almost eliminated. As such, they chose to mostly distance themselves from the wars, adapting total secrecy in order to survive.^[2]

Iron Dominion Takeover[]

A turning point for the Clan Wars came in 3237 when the Iron Queen attempted to bribe the Bride of Rich Nights and her Clan into joining the Iron Dominion. The Bride refused, and in response, the Iron King killed her, but allowed the Iron Queen to take the credit so she could lead the Yagyu as their new Bride. The Iron Queen then sent the Yagyu to aid the other Clans in their battles randomly, at the same time spreading rumors to each Clan that the other three Clans had allied themselves with the Iron Dominion. Due to the actions of the Yagyu, the other three Brides believed these rumors, and, fearing their elimination, reluctantly allied their Clans with the Iron Dominion, ending the Clan Wars.^[3][1]
