The Great Darkness

Disaster / Destruction

The era of the Imperium comes to a close with the violent destruction of the World Gate. A world-thundering explosion rattles Veltrona, annihilating an entire continent's worth of land in nearly an instant. An enormous cloud of mana-charged debris launches into the atmosphere, choking out sunlight entirely. Falling debris catastrophically destroys many landscapes, altering the face of the world itself.   Many civilizations bunker down and hide away in order to survive; many of them doing so as they throw off the shackles of the Imperium. For nearly two centuries, Veltrona's surface is shrouded in darkness, with scant sunlight peeking through. Divine powers and mortals alike work endlessly to not only survive, but cast off the Great Darkness that yet prevails.
