The Awakening

  The Awakening was a major event that occurred on August 12, 459 AE. Durante Volsenius, who at the time was serving as Allesend's Minister of Inter-Iterum Research and Affairs, completed a ritual to severely weaken The Legacy in the city of Allesar. The resulting breach allowed the entity Kosmar to leave the Elfhome Iterum and enter Essaria.   The resulting power reverberated through the multiverse, waking the Old Essarian Gods as they lay dormant in the Divine Prison. Finding that there were now holes in the prison constructed for them by the Pliscian Civilization, the Essarians began to manifest small fractions of themselves in Essaria for the first time in over a million years. Over the next few years, millions of people would take up worship of these powerful individuals.
