    An Riomh (The Reckoning)
    Disaster / Destruction

    The first truly devastating eruption of Feall Síoraí creates the holy city of Tur Spoondrift and a highly acidic lake in its shadow during the tragedy known as An Ríomh but at the time the area is populated primarily by Inmortui, Animortui, and Laibhe who go largely unharmed. The supercontinent known as Anima splinters apart, sending Avalon into the sky while Broceliande remains on the ground. The region suffers for several years following the eruption but eventually the razed earth heals and the land of Anima forgets the fury of the volcano, save the Laibhe themselves who tend tirelessly to its needs.
