Ascension in Death
Celestial / CosmicLast of the Icons (not counting Kardion) would fall dead to the combined might of the mortals. Many would think this bleak time in their history to be over, time to rebuild, however, one god thought otherwise. Vecna, the great god of Undeath and Death, would use the enslaved Icon Kardion to channel his powers through him and his deceased brethren, using a powerful amount of Life Spark. This would grant him the ability to bypass the Divine Laws and become the Overgod. During this time, the world would start to quake, tsunamis, and volcanos would erupt. For many, it would be felt like the end of the world.

Vecna Foiled
Celestial / CosmicBy the combined might of the True God and their mortal servants, Vecna would be stopped at the continent of Archeron. The last stand would take place and the god known as the Wise One would be empowered by others to break through the barrier and strike a mortal blow against the Lich. Vecna would lose not only his chance of ascension but also his hand and eye. During this moment, one of the gods would become an Overgod for a split second, allowing them to create a new Divine Law known as Vecna's Law. With this enacted, all Gods returned instantly to their Gods Planes. Vecna was defeated, the Icons as well (Kardion would escape his cell and go into hiding), this marked the end of the Fourth Age, The Calamity.
