+ | |||
+ | * A guild of mysterious wizards in this time attempted to pry the Ruefang leyspring from the ground using an enigmatic ritual. This ritual went wrong in the last moments, resulting in the destruction of over half of the Ruefang continent and leading to intense magical corruption in the area. To Ruefangren and Raikoujin, the Fist of God is equal in its destruction to the Day of Solar Wrath. | ||

+ | **[[settings: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * No one knows exactly how this calamity occurred, or why it only affected the Dahabi, the world over. Records are clear: at high noon on the summer solstice of 4524, the sky boiled red. The Dahabu continent was scorched in firestorms, becoming a desert wasteland - and no matter where they were on the planet, over 90% of Dahabu citizens were killed, with those who survived losing their souls. | ||

+ | **Sinking of Quetzalcamina** (~5000 SF, [[settings: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Hounded by the forces of the Pharaoh, the Tonameyoti Atlaca people made the decision to fully retreat underground and seal themselves into the underground realm of Itlan-Youali. Evacuations began, and the aboveground capital of Quetzalcamina sunk into the depths, hidden forever just as Dahabi armies appeared on the horizon... | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Crash-Landing of the Kleemudor** (~4700 SF, [[settings: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * As the stories go, a great psionic experiment conducted on Kleemudor in this time resulted in the vanishing of an entire town. The people of this town were not lost, but instead ended up stranded in the southern tundras of Pthora. Isolated from Kleemudor society, these people would eventually grow into the cultural group now known as the Johtalit. | ||

+ | * Little is known about how the dragons first came to be. We do know that true dragons of Cahyali are native to the landmasses which are now mapped, and spread out over time to the other parts of the world. It is said that in the days before the rise of Dahabu, dragons supported and nurtured burgeoning mortal civilization. Some go far enough to say that it was the dragons who first taught magic to mortals. | ||
+ | * During this time, lesser dragonkin also evolved on Cahyali, such as drakos and wyverns. These creatures are little more than clever animals, and are still fairly common to the modern day. | ||
