N.W.O. civil war after fallout on how to deal with the Syndicate while the Progenitors and Iteration X have erupted into their own conflict as both are trying to control the masses' perceptions for the future and both were destabilized by the war between the N.W.O. and Syndicate which evolved into a 3 way civil war and neither side is fully committed to any of the factions. The Void Engineers technically support the Syndicate, however largely stay out of the war itself, simply needing the funding of the Syndicate to continue operations as conflict with Deep Space Reality Deviants has reached a critical point and both the North and South poles have destabilized and the thin Gauntlet is at risk of being shredded completely. Both events seem related, but no one is sure why. They've become desperate enough to enlist the help of the Traditions, as both the syndicate and especially N.W.O. in particular are too busy to police them, but this overture for sympathetic Tradition support has caused the Tradition's own conflict to brew up as various factions and/or subfactions believe this is all a ploy by the N.W.O. to destroy them after several targeted strikes by Sleeper assets supported by N.W.O. technology caused the Israel-Iran conflict, assassinating dozens of archmages and managers under the cover of the conflict.
