An idea for a section on the page War in Heaven to go immediately before or after the "Return of Faction Paradox" section. I think it's the best way to incorporate:
 * Michael Drake
 * the City of the Saved Civil War
 * Warlords of Utopia (which doesn't quite fit under a section about Faction Paradox, anyway)
 * the 22nd century Dalek invasion stuff from A Star's View of Caroline and Alien Bodies
 * the Beatrician Crusade (if that belongs at all, since the Remote are kinda untethered from the War)
 * the Beshielach stuff from The Book of the War
 * Less certainly, it might also be a good place for the arguably-relevant Deindum War.

Further conflicts
"As the War is a war throughout all history, then the War never 'ends'. As such, all smaller scale conflicts are, in a sense, merely an extension of this 'True' War. On one level, local conflicts can be seen as echoes of the hostilities, latent throughout the structure of history itself. But, there is also some hard evidence of smaller scale conflicts, and in some cases, even individual combatants, being co-opted by the various War Powers for their own ends."

- The Great Houses And Us

On 14 April 1643, two armies of Hornheads and Chanticleers declared the Hain Valley to be a battlefield of the War in Heaven, and they began to clear the newly-formed town of Samhain. Despite the imposition of a time lock on the area, the Shopkeeper and the "Wor Iris" were able to help the newly-elected mayor Michael Drake defeat the armies by swallowing them whole. (PROSE: Michael Drake) After letting the war pour into him, Drake became quite a difficult man. (PROSE: Self Possessed)

In the 46th year of the War, a group of thirteen Great Houses renegades tried to escape the War by using Time Rings to journey into a cluster of parallel universes where the Roman Empire never fell. The renegades created links between the universes, allowing them to unite into the Empire of Empires. House Mirraflex sent a Cwej to contain the situation; he united all the universes where the Nazis won World War II into the Greater German Reich and got them to go to war with the Romans.

After several decades of warfare, the Romans, led by Marcus Americanius Scriptor, were victorious over the Germans. In the end, a member of House Mirraflex came in and reinstated the boundaries between worlds. (PROSE: Warlords of Utopia)
