November #QueerPrompts 11: war or family feud in story?

A lot of the "Light's Rebellion" series has to do with the feud between the Hallowcloaks and the demon king. Then there is the feud between Mathius & Velimiar, who are brothers.

I primarily stick to fantasy in both reading & writing. For specific categories, like romantasy for example, or even cozy fantasy, I've definitely read more of those than I've written.

#NovemberWorldbuilders 6: something WHITE

Some priests of certain gods (for example, those who follow Lady Elythia) usually have some variation of white in their robes, depending on their ranking.
