No. it will be run from a certain point in the war, decided by the list.

I think the EIN, Scro alliance, IUN (ilithid united navy), neogi
federation, and influential human nations as major sides( maybe even
dwarven kingdoms).
Gnomes, Giff, Beholders and the like should be minor sides.

The radiant triangle and surronding spheres.
