Great War

The War is a currently unnamed and largely unknown conflict that occurred four to five generations (roughly a hundred years) before the events of RWBY. So far, it has only been mentioned in one episode, The Shining Beacon, by Jaune Arc when discussing how his weapon was passed down from his great-great-grandfather, who fought in this war. All other details are left to speculation until further information is revealed.
