The Sundering

Disaster / Destruction

The Leylines, the Old World's source of arcane power, are severed by forces unknown. Magic becomes unstable, which has immediate effect on the nations of the Old World so reliant on its power. The resulting fallout causes the Old World to split into three planes, each a shadow of the Old World as it stood - these would become the Shadowfell, the Feywilds, and Drachen. Drachen itself is plunged into the Age of Darkness.
