On a beautiful summer day 599 B.O. a large shadow fell over the Empire of Jorpagna. From the marshes billions and billions of flesh eating flying bugs swarmed the whole of Ereb Altor. The bugs were followed by strange diseases and starvation throughout all of the known world. It is calculated that around half of all living humanoids dies and whole settlements and nations are wiped out. Amongst them the Jorpagna Empire, the mightiest empire of all times.
