The Age Of The Void

Metaphysical / Paranormal event

“The age of the void. During this time, Forenon the Betrayer informed the leaders of the kingdoms that he would find a way to set right his dead master’s wrong. There is a period of suffering, of course, as Laruna deals with the difficulties of having no magic. The age ended when the Betrayer finally announced that he was powerless to truly restore what his master had broken.”   -Morrow, Human Sage

Alshara was dead and his cult of towermen crushed. This news struck differently in the many kingdoms, and the towers crumbling did not immediately restore magic to Laruna as it once was. Panic and conflict started spreading as countless kingdoms, human or otherwise, came to grips with the realization that magic, as it once was, no longer existed. Alshara’s towers had done unimaginable damage to the land itself and in the absence of magic many rivals quickly set about their enemies hoping to press a newfound advantage. Fresh conflicts were born and old ones revived as the Age of Void proved to be a terrifying and bloody period. Years after the fall of Alshara, several of the land’s greatest rulers were summoned to an audience by Forenon Emol. Having been missing since the tower’s collapse, Forenon met with the rulers and gave his account of what happened the day Alshara died. He also explained what he had done to try and repair the damage. Forenon told the rulers that no mortal could completely destroy the Arga’sheel Alshara had created. Instead he took it apart piece by piece and melded it into parts of the land. In time, Forenon claimed that magic would be restored to Laruna, though even he could not predict exactly how different it would be. He announced to the rulers that he would be leaving them to this new world, and that they would know the Age of the Void was over when not only magic had returned but the presence of Arga’sheel as well.
