 Demons infest the Kurago, affecting nomads and their incants. Kurago spirits flee, appearing more and more on Jaern and causing havoc. Due to the demonic influence, the landscape of the Kurago itself begins to change. The situation worsens until a group of adventurers manages to clear the demonic influence, allowing the Kurago to return to its old self. ((This event coincided with a major rework of nomadics, changing the entire fundamental framework of the background.))
+===== Return of the Dragons =====
+=== 10057 - 10060 ===
+After the destruction of [[settings:torandor|Torandor]], dragons retreated into a pocket dimension for safety, making a deal with mortals to return after 200 years. They were forgotten, though, and remained in stasis for 2,000 years. In 10061, four obelisks keeping the dragons' dimension active were activated, returning the dragons to the world and causing natural disasters across Jaern from the sheer amount of time magic released.
+The ocean level dropped 15 feet across the planet, exposing large amounts of new land, leaving many lizard cities high and dry, and making many docks useless. The volcano on Lojem also became active, leading many dwarves to move away. Dragons are now a regular sight on Jaern, though still remarkable.
+===== The Hegemony Scourge & Jaernian Refusion =====
+=== 10054 - 10056 ===
+An event called the [[history:jaern:hegemony_refusion|Jaernian Refusion]] occurs, stripping Jaern of its portals and disrupting its magic. Shortly before this event, the Rougtero Guild of Wizards was constructed and opened. It was discovered that the cause of the Refusion was a demonic, alien threat called the Hegemony, which intended to invade and conquer Jaern. They were defeated, and the influence over all their conquered worlds is believed to have been wiped out.
+===== The Jalera Reign =====
+=== 10049 - 10052 ===
+A detailed report on this incident can be found [[history:jaern:jalerareign|here.]]
+The gods establish a magical field across the world that de-powers most non-magical technology. They give little reasoning for this act. Not long after, odd creatures called the Jalera enter Jaern and begin offering useful services such as healing. As Jaernians come to rely on them, it is found that they are in fact mind-controlling Jaernians in the name of "instilling order". An adventuring party including a few people named Kira and Cronk had a role in expelling the Jalera, returning Jaern to normal.
+It is later found that Kira and Cronk, along with a third unnamed companion, would ascend to become the gods [[gods:vormaxia|Vormaxia]], [[gods:zepherin|Zepherin]], and [[gods:almar|Almar]]. This is the first instance of entirely new gods in recorded history.
+===== The Great Plague =====
+=== 10044 - 10047 ===
+A detailed report on this incident can be found [[history:jaern:greatplague|here.]]
+A plague spreads across large portions of Jaern, with the only treatment being magical healing. Casters capable of healing are stretched thin, and the [[settings:jaern:therhine:centralia:centralia_gow|Centralia Mages' Guild]] researches healing spells usable by mages in this time. Suspicions run hot that the Mages' Guild itself may be responsible for the plague, in an effort to make money from the sick.
+The plague is eventually cured with the help of [[gods:isis|Isis,]] though the effort drains her of much of her power. A new incarnation of Isis is born.
