The Fall of Derendall
Disaster / DestructionOver a period of thirteen hours, the Magocracy of Derendal collapsed. The various manacite mines that dominated the north of the nation detonated all at once destroying the greatest source of manacite in the world and turning the north into a chaos wasteland where magic and the laws of physics were seemingly broken. At the same time, the capital valley of Derendal also dealt with its own manacite mines and the unrefined manacite that they used to power their advanced civilization also detonated leading to the entire central leadership of the nation being destroyed and the center of the continent becoming a chaos waste as well. The various smaller holdings of Derendal quickly turned to infighting and the magic and spells that had been used to make the core of the continent into a verdant paradise also began to fail.
