The Fall of The Netherese
Era beginning/endSeeking to control the weave of magic itself, the Netherese Emperor attempted to cast a strong enough ritual to make him the new god of magic, overthrowing Mystril. However Mystril herself intervened, tearing the weave of magic and interrupting the ritual at a crucial moment. Magic itself broke, and every Netherese city fell to the ground.
The Churn Era
1 1000
A brutal time period where magic was still realigning itself. Pockets of twisted and corrupt magic remained in some areas, and in others almost nothing. Empires rose and fell swiftly. In the areas where Netherese cities fell, entire kingdoms would sprout from the powerful pockets of magic and research. However they were immensely fragile from being built on the vestiges of a dead empire.

Discovery, ScientificThe discovery of a way to mend magic, and end The Knots . The increase in technology and non arcana based magic forced many nations to adapt. Piety had become a powerful part of the world, and Theocracies were more and more prominent. One group, in what would soon become The Church of the Collective had found a way to use divine healing, but without the help of a god. Some of the bravest zealots and most unselfish souls volunteered to go on a miracle mission that ended with the Raven Queen helping lend enough power to undo The Knots. The Church of the collective became known locally in their existing nation, and membership skyrocketed in the coming years. This further increased the miracles of the collective church and allowed the generosity of the group to reach further and further.
