 ====== The Modern Age of Cahyali ======
 The Modern Age is marked by two major things: the rise of adventuring as a notable profession on Cahyali, and the reigns of terror of the nations [[settings:cahyali:leyork|Ley'Ork]] and [[settings:cahyali:pthora|Pthora.]] This would culminate in a war that embroiled the entirety of Esrior, save for the Sublime Veld.
 ===== Destruction of Dipha =====
 === 7/2/2558 ===
+On the night of Murh 2, 2558, around 11 PM Pthoran time, the night sky lit up... first, with a terrifying and tragic sight. The brightest of Cahyali's three moons, Dipha, full and high in the sky, imploded and collapsed over the course of a few minutes... leaving a donut-shaped celestial body behind. The debris thrown out from the implosion remains suspended in the sky, seemingly unmoving and held in place by some kind of magical power. Everyone witnessing the event feels the absence of something comforting, that they never had realized was there before. As this took place, all priests across Cahyali suddenly felt their powers disappear entirely.
+Immediately after the moon's implosion, a giant view of the Godwheel appeared over the entire sky, appearing identically all across Cahyali. All priests had their connections to their deities return greatly strengthened, and became powered up for a few hours before their powers slowly returned to normal by the next morning.

+Harmlessly, across Esrior and possibly beyond, small stone flowers crashed to the ground throughout the night in almost perfect condition. They bring a strange sort of emotional comfort to any who hold them.
+Mages and astronomers are still struggling to explain what may have caused this, or what the ramifications may be. However, a few prominent occultists have theorized that Dipha was the host or body of some kind of otherworldly being, and the moon's destruction means that this being was killed, or otherwise incapacitated... but it may return one day.
