World Events

The Black Terror is the term for the separate but interconnected strings of riots, lynchings, mass incarcerations, and violent fury directed at those connected with the supernatural, concentrated over a period of about ten years, following the Sundering of The Veil. A great deal of knowledge of the supernatural was lost, much of it permanently, and tens of thousands lost their lives.

Spelling the end of the Jiderani Empire, the Three Generations War begins as a war of succession between three members of the Ravenelle imperial family. Other factions see an opportunity to acquire independence or control, and when the war ends with the annihilation of the Jiderani capital, the empire is shattered beyond recovery.

A rift opens up within the City in the Mountain, and tens of thousands are slaughtered by the creatures that pour out. Before Felkraiph, it was widely believed that Pelukt was the beginning and the end of this crisis, as the creatures seemed to have no interest in crossing the oceans of Duurn. Rather than risk a repeat of the overrun of an entire continent, The People chose to evacuate as many civilians as possible from the city, then utilize explosives to collapse the city upon the fissure.

In the wake of the Last War and the failure of The People to prevent or even mitigate the conflict, combined with its complicity in some of the worst horrors of the war, nations abandon the general assembly in droves, until The People is officially disbanded.
