   * **Divine Wrath.** Many [[settings:jaern|Jaernians]] who hear about this event make the immediate assumption that the Day of Solar Wrath was a simple act of divine intervention, most likely a large-scale smite from a god such as [[gods:ra|Ra,]] or perhaps [[gods:almar|Almar.]] After all, little but a god could bring destruction with this specificity and on such a scale. However, high veneration of the gods was common and sometimes mandatory within the Dahabi Empire, so scholars debate on why exactly their ire would have been attracted by the Empire's actions.   * **Divine Wrath.** Many [[settings:jaern|Jaernians]] who hear about this event make the immediate assumption that the Day of Solar Wrath was a simple act of divine intervention, most likely a large-scale smite from a god such as [[gods:ra|Ra,]] or perhaps [[gods:almar|Almar.]] After all, little but a god could bring destruction with this specificity and on such a scale.

   * **Experiment Gone Wrong.** Some scholars in the Abundant Expanse and Sublime Veld investigate why the deaths only struck Dahabi citizens, concluding that they may have taken some soul-affecting substance to enhance their magic. On the Day, some experiment from Dahabu rippled through Cahyali's leylines, striking any person with that substance - mostly Dahabi, killing them. However, this theory lends no explanation as to why the appearance of the sun was affected, and why the sun's light seemed to be the catalyst for death.   * **Experiment Gone Wrong.** Some scholars in the Abundant Expanse and Sublime Veld investigate why the deaths only struck Dahabi citizens, concluding that they may have taken some soul-affecting substance to enhance their magic.

-  * **Demonic Influence.** Learned demonologists point out the similarity of the green flames which burned on the victims to the Fel Flame of the Beneath, a power source for that hellish land that is known for burning everything it touches and being a death sentence to mortals. They believe that a strong demonic contract may have been responsible for the event, as a way for the patron to harvest souls. However, this doesn't explain why the souls of Solar Wrath's victims appear to remain trapped in milphite crystals to this day.+  * **Demonic Influence.** Learned demonologists point out the similarity of the green flames which burned on the victims to the Fel Flame of the [[settings:planes:beneath|Beneath,]] a power source for that hellish land that is known for burning everything it touches and being a death sentence to mortals.
