Disaster / Destruction
Most information from before this event is lost or hidden; the nature of the event itself is similarly mysterious. All that is known is that a great cataclysm destroyed whatever existed before, leaving only ruins in its path. The event lasted from roughly 1010 Ascendant to 1022 Ascendant, and marks the end of the Age of Ascension. Evidence in the geology of the land suggests a sudden splitting of the land itself. The surviving peoples rebuilt civilization from the ashes, and began to renumerate their days.
