The Storming (end of the Shadowed Age)
Disaster / DestructionAt the end of the fourth age, a rift opened to the plane of water. The northeastern corner of Hashad was flooded, and the land beset by elemental creatures. At the same time, the forces of darkness attacked from all corners. For the first time, however, the civilized races had an organized defense in place. The allies of the Prismatic Compact fought heroically and effectively, and their efforts preserved much of the civilization they had set in place. Despite this, the victory came at a high price: many lives were lost, and northeastern Hashad remains underwater.
