Fall of the Second Empire

Life, Trauma/ Loss

It is unclear what actually caused the fall of the empire. The most reliable evidence would suggest betrayals from the inside, possibly combined with the rebellion of the Okranites. Regardless, the empire collapsed. Their leaders retreated into the dangerous Ashlands, where they reside to this day. The rest of the empire fell into ruins, though some settlements like the Black Desert City survived, and many likely became the towns the United Cities reside in to this day.
