The Fall

"The Fall" refers to a cataclysmic event that took place in the world of Konran, characterized by the descent of eighteen Earth cities onto its vast expanse. This event triggered a wave of profound changes across Konran's socio-cultural, technological, and ecological landscapes, leaving a permanent mark on its history.

Ahmed El-Amin - Pharaoh's Jungle (Cairo)

"When Cairo fell, it was like an odd dream. The Pyramids and the Sphinx now rested in the midst of a dense, ancient forest, surrounded by tall trees and chirping birds. The once arid landscape was now teeming with life and moisture. It was chaos initially, as everyone scrambled to make sense of what had happened. But eventually, we adapted. We learned to live in harmony with the forest, drawing on the wisdom of our ancestors and the history of our fallen city."

Background

The origins of The Fall trace back to an unprecedented cosmic event during the Silence of Olyvia, the goddess who governs Konran. Slavyna, with assistance from Krayvuk, orchestrated a divisive scheme that resulted in the creation of Ayvilo, an alter ego of Olyvia. Ayvilo's unexpected rise upset the balance of power among the deities, leading to a cascade of consequences that culminated in The Fall.

The Event

On the fateful day of The Fall, the skies over Konran were torn apart as eighteen Earth cities began their descent. The spectacle was equal parts horrifying and mesmerizing, a sight of falling metropolises that would be etched into the memory of all who witnessed it.
The cities didn't crash at random locations. Instead, they descended onto specific areas across the expanses of Konran, later found to have ancient artifacts known as "anchors" buried beneath the soil. These anchors, which had lain dormant for thousands of years, bore uncanny similarities to symbols discovered within the fallen cities, suggesting a cosmic connection between Earth and Konran.

Aftermath

The impact of the descending cities was as destructive as it was transformative. Massive geographical upheaval marked the areas where the cities landed, forever altering Konran's landscapes. The ecosystems of provinces such as the Lyvia and Kray Providence underwent drastic changes as they absorbed the remnants of Earth's urban environments.
The Fall wasn't just an ecological event, but also a socio-cultural phenomenon. The inhabitants of the fallen cities, torn from their home planet, found themselves in a world utterly alien to them. This event sparked a tumultuous period of integration as the humans adjusted to their new surroundings and the native inhabitants of Konran encountered Earth cultures for the first time.
In the immediate aftermath of The Fall, the world of Konran was thrust into chaos. Yet, this event also ushered in an era of unparalleled intercultural exchange and technological innovation, as Earth's knowledge and technology met Konran's magic and mysticism.

Legacy

In the years following The Fall, the event has been viewed with a mixture of fear, awe, and wonder. Despite the initial destruction, The Fall ultimately led to the birth of a new era in Konran's history, marked by the merging of Earthly and Konran cultures, technological advancements, and evolving magical practices.
New alliances were formed, ancient practices were challenged, and the shared experience of The Fall united inhabitants of Earth and Konran in ways that were unimaginable before. The Fall stands as a testament to the resilience and adaptability of both the Earth and Konran inhabitants, forever shaping the world's narrative in the annals of its history.

Impact on Society

The Fall instigated a monumental socio-cultural shift on Konran. As cities from Earth embedded themselves into the new landscape, they brought with them the rich tapestry of Earth's cultures, ideologies, and technologies. The sudden influx of these foreign elements stimulated a cultural evolution unprecedented in Konran's history. Earth's technological prowess spurred a new wave of innovation, accelerating Konran's technological development exponentially. This fusion of Earth's scientific methodology with Konran's magic-centric worldview precipitated a unique socio-technological dynamic that reshaped the fabric of Konran society, leading to the birth of hybrid technologies that amalgamated magic and science.

Survivors of The Fall

In the immediate aftermath of The Fall, the total number of survivors from Earth was recorded at approximately 98 million. This staggering survival rate was not due to the spell that brought the cities to Konran, but instead the quick thinking and incredible magic of Earth's mages who created protective domes around the cities during their descent.
The rest of Earth, including all life outside the cities, was completely destroyed and consumed on a molecular level, transformed into energy and integrated into Ousava's Material Planes, scattered throughout the Konran System. This was part of the spell's design.
Earth no longer exists in the form the survivors knew it, their home world obliterated. To honor the memory of their lost planet, these survivors now call themselves 'Earthlings'. Their somber remembrance serves as a painful reminder that they are all that remains of Earth's humanity.

The Fall's Effects on Konran's Ecosystem

The Fall's ecological consequences were profound and far-reaching, permanently altering Konran's natural landscape. The abrupt introduction of terrestrial ecosystems disrupted the native flora and fauna, causing a ripple effect throughout Konran's food chains. However, over time, a semblance of balance was restored as Earth's species adapted to their new environment and began to integrate with the native species. This fusion of two vastly different ecosystems birthed an entirely new set of ecological niches and evolutionary paths. From Seattle's towering trees melding with the skyscrapers to the merging of Tokyo's advanced technology with Oray's magic, the aftermath of The Fall saw the birth of a new, hybrid ecosystem, reflecting the resilience of life in all its myriad forms.
In summary, The Fall, despite its catastrophic nature, emerged as a crucible of change that propelled Konran into an age of accelerated evolution, setting the stage for a shared destiny between two vastly different worlds.

Manifestation

The event of The Fall was marked by a breathtaking display of cosmic might. As the cities began their descent, the sky was torn asunder by dazzling streaks of fiery light, engulfing the falling metropolises. Each city was surrounded by a luminescent aura, which varied in color and intensity, seemingly reflecting the individual characteristics of the city it encased. It was as if each city was a shooting star, burning bright as it traversed the heavens. From the ground, observers reported the air itself seemed to hum with raw power, an electric sensation that filled the onlookers with awe and terror. The celestial spectacle was accompanied by the thunderous roar of the descent, a cacophony that echoed across Konran's landscape.
The Fall did not only manifest visually, but also on a sensory level that transcended the physical. It permeated the fabric of reality and was felt by every creature, every plant, every stone - a ripple in the cosmic tapestry that could not be ignored.

Localization

The effects of The Fall were not uniformly distributed across Konran. Instead, the cities fell at specific locations scattered across the vast world. These places, later discovered to have ancient "anchors" buried beneath the soil, were vastly different from each other - ranging from the dense forests of Sava Providence to the desert wasteland of Kray Providence. The presence of these anchors seems to indicate that these were predestined landing spots, inherently linked to the fallen cities.
In the aftermath of The Fall, these areas exhibited anomalies where the laws of physics and magic interacted in unprecedented ways. For instance, in the locale where Tokyo fell within the steamy Oray Providence, technological artifacts from Earth coexisted and interacted with Konran's intrinsic magic, creating a unique fusion of magic and technology. These anomalous effects were mostly localized to the crash sites, turning them into areas of significant interest and investigation.

The Fall Summary

The Fall, a cataclysmic event, occurred when eighteen Earth cities were teleported to the magical realm of Konran, causing destruction and an unprecedented loss of life. This massive disruption led to chaotic wars, profound cultural changes, and the eventual blending of Earth and Konran societies.

Survivor Accounts

These are just a few of the brave and harrowing stories of surviors from "The Fall"

Richard Sheapard

A Glasgow native, provides a firsthand account of the harrowing experience. His recollection vividly captures the terror, despair, and bewilderment felt by Earth's inhabitants during The Fall. After narrowly escaping death, Richard awakens in a world completely foreign, yet eerily familiar. His poignant account underscores the enormity of the event and the resilience of the human spirit.

...I saw Mary stand up, she saw me and started running. Suddenly there was a new noise and a light flashed in the sky...When I woke up again, the sky was different. A woman was over me, but she has wings, and I swore a halo, then I noticed I was still holding something. It was Mary’s hand, the wall cut it right off. She didn’t make it.

Eldwina's Account - Lyvia Providence

"I will never forget the day. I was foraging in the woods when I heard the distress calls of the birds above. I looked up to see the sky filled with falling humans. My heart pounded in my chest as I reared and whinnied, calling for my kin. I galloped towards the shower of bodies, creating shimmering shields of energy with my magic, slowing their descent, trying to save as many as I could."

Survivor Story: Elena Russo - Eterna Roma (Rome)

"We were in the heart of Rome when the world turned upside down. The Colosseum, the Roman Forum, all the ancient landmarks were suddenly in a world of sprawling forests and shimmering rivers. There was fear, yes, but also a sense of awe. We had been transported to a place that seemed out of a fairy tale. It was hard, adapting to this new reality, but we made it work. Our history, our culture, they helped us hold on. Rome didn't just survive; it thrived."

Nix's Account - Vantya, the Capital City

"It was chaos that day. Humans, raining from the sky, screams echoing across the city. I took to the sky, the wind whistling past my fiery feathers. I cried out, my voice splitting the air. Summoning my flock, we soared higher, our wings aflame. We created a vortex, a cushion of fire and air to slow the fall of the humans, guiding them safely towards the city."

Witness Account: Rhoan - Kray Providence

"I watched from my perch in the high trees as a city fell. It was like an earthquake, reshaping the land in an instant. The air filled with panic and confusion as beings - humans, they called themselves - stumbled out from the wreckage. They were so different, yet so familiar. Our people took them in, showed them our ways. In return, they shared their knowledge, their culture. They adapted, just as we did. It was strange at first, but now, it's hard to imagine our world without them."

Gelorin's Account - Kray Providence

"The earth trembled, a signal of the incoming calamity. I rose, and saw them falling, bodies plummeting to the earth. I roared, commanding the very ground beneath us. Mounds and hills rose like waves, creating softer landing spots, absorbing the impact of their fall."
