Metaphysical / Paranormal event
Tel Ramiya, once the capital of the province of Nehemen, becomes the site of an incursion by the Demon Prince Zuggtmoy, the Queen of Decay. In a desperate attempt to purge her corruption from the land, the most powerful magi and priests of the city sacrificed themselves in a ritual to turn her away. The city and its occupants were annihilated in the resulting blast, which sent waves of energy rolling over all of modern Nehemen, rendering the region a sprawling, sandy desert.
