Rapture, A World Torn Asunder
Disaster / DestructionNo one was truly prepared when a dissonant scream tore through all the sorcerers of the continent, those mages that are most directly connected to the weave. No one was prepared when the skies slowly ruptured into lightning and fire. No one was prepared when tsunamis and earthquakes slowly spread northwards from the deep south, changing the very face of the land. No one, that is, except for Ghearas. Due to concern for their own safety, they had kept their greatest wizards around the city rather than send them on campaign, and in a testimate to their skill they raised great walls of arcane energy that, while fully isolating the city, also protected it from what happened outside. They, at least, were safe.
