    The First Incursion
    Military action

    Wars between planes broke out, centred around the material plane. The fiends of The Nine Hells rose an army to attack the Material Plane through Setton Regis, in order to control the Nexus Porta. Alliances formed between positive and negative planes on either side, though many stayed neutral. War threatened to unravel the fabric of reality. A calamitous power release occurred that devastated the city of Setton Regis killing many of the inhabitants. The original line of kings was lost. The last of the old Kings, King Tempin sacrificed himself, destroyed the Nexus Porta, having ordered the dismantled pieces to be scattered across his empire so they could not be found.

    The Severance
    Disaster / Destruction

    Concluding the war of the First Incursion, King Tempin, last of the Old Kings of Setton Regis, destroys the Nexus Porta, the hub of planar travel on the Material Plane. The epicentre of the explosion is seen across the disc in a flash of blinding light. The explosion causes a rift in the barriers between planes, and eventually the region of Infernus begins to merge with The Nine Hells.

    The Kaab Exodus
    Population Migration / Travel

    Originally from a region of Lunasia called The Badlands, the Kaab had their origins among the warring Orc, Troll, Ogre, and Goblinoid tribes of the region. For the most part, they were originally independent families, who didn't subscribe to the warlike culture of their homeland. The Badlands was going through a transitional period, with tribes gradually being unified either through surrender or violence, and greater interference from the Turnwise land of Infernus. Simultaneously, word gradually spread of a growing movement of freethinking beings, people who recognised that strength could often come through difference, and cooperation, rather than dominion. This faction came to call themselves the Kaab.   The Kaab saw the cruelty and barbarism of their past culture and decided it was both unsustainable and morally reprehensible, and were well aware of the continent of Sinistria due to tales of raids and acts of piracy the tribes had committed on the Widdershins coast of the continent, particularly around the region of Vallessia.   Amassing on the southern coast of The Badlands, and with the threat of destruction from the warring tribes growing ever nearer, they used their expertise as shipwrights and sailors, to build a fleet, and set sail for Sinistria.   After leaving the Badlands, the Kaab made a dangerous journey along the Rimwards edge of Lunasia, close to the edge of the rim itself, eventually settling in the largely uninhabited island of Petrungul, Rimward/Widdershins of the mainland of Sinistria. There they founded the City of Kaab, in the Hubward/Widdershins coast of the island.
