The Ruin

Era beginning/end

The Ruin... A war? A plague? Perhaps something more mysterious? All we know is that it ended with The Five, godly beings who created our world from the ashes of the old, creating the new Peoples and blessing us with the Magick that permeates our lives.

It's also said that the One Chained in the Dark rose at this time, but was thwarted by the Five - chained in a demiplane of complete darkness. There it's influence over the world was lessened, though not completely destroyed.

The Great Calamity was a world-changing event that led to the disappearance of the Ancients. Historians have spent centuries trying to determine exactly what happened but no one is quite sure. All that is certain, is that this event led to the creation of the Five, the rise of the One Chained in the Dark, and the eventual resetting of the world.
