Chronicles of Meranthe - Global Events

[Chance]

AFTERMATH OF THE CATASTROPHE OF 124 

Year 2010, of Biblos ☊
"We're only just getting started. Ymir, save us all."

The beginning of the New Millenia was undoubtedly marked by the events of the Catalysm when Lightgarde were said to have triggered a brief union with Eternia and the Netherworld. This rupture changed Meranthe as a whole, both politically and geologically, as well as the world at large. 

It's been a decade since, and the extremities of the seasons and unusual weather patterns have only seemed to worsen. Storms that last several nights. Summer droughts that make the heat of the Silent Expanse seem bearable. Typhoons and floorings close to coastal areas. This isn't contained to the country where the primordials originated, either, but the entirety of the continent, and to a smaller, more subtle degree, the entire globe.

The Great Nations have somehow managed to weather the economic and social collapse, hanging on by a thread. Dark forces of many faces have nonetheless capitalized on the chaos with a New Age of Necromancy almost being ushered in, the rise of the Coven of Misfortune, and the recent coincidental arrival of the Deep One worshippers.

It was the trigger that led to the takeover of the Greathive on Delphina's Capital. The War of Succession in Aphros. Strife from the edges of the shadowlands to the mountain peaks of Vdalion.

The common school of thought among many of the priests of various Faiths is that we are witnessing the beginnings of the End of Times. And if the impact is so severe on the outside, what has become of the many realms of the Tower of Aetius that triggered all of this... ?

Mysteries once sealed to the ages have been disturbed for better or worse.
