The Calamity
The result of an arcane arms race, where gods and mortals alike worked diligently to create arcane engines of war.
Not much is known about the battles that ensued during The Calamity, but the scars they left upon the world are visible to this day. The Maelstrom being one of those.
During this time, some gods imbued fragments of their power into powerful arms and armaments known as the Vestiges of Divergence, though specific items are currently unknown. The grand magical cities of the Age of Arcanum were completely destroyed by the war. Only Dunsland, the First City, survived, while the rest of civilization lay in ruins. The Prime Dieties and their champions successfully banished the Betrayer Gods back to their prison planes once more, but only one third of the planet's population survived The Calamity.
