The Beast Tide

Disaster / Destruction

The Beast Horde sweeps the Surface, destroying much of recent progress, setting back the nation of Abyss.

Late night on the 23rd of the 10th Moon 14 B.F, the nightly peace was broken by horrendous beast howls and loud rumbling as a beast tide appeared seemingly out of nowhere; they were monstrosities never seen before. The beast tide rampaged around the Surface, destroying most if not all of the newly built infrastructure and settlements built between Sanctuary and the Academy since the Opening. An innumerable amount of lives were lost in this event.   The Beast Tide was a rude awakening call for the nation of Abyss on the dangers and horrors that lurk in the abyss below. Unlike the beast hordes that they once feared, these new monstrosities that emerged from below were far more terrifying and dangerous - their foul energies tainting and corrupting the environment around them.   The tide wiped out settlements entirely and ultimately, even laid siege to both Sanctuary and the Academy. Resources and morale were running low, and it was only in the fleeting moments of utter desperation did a breakthrough in magic, and subsequently a grave sacrifice at the Academy, allow them to push back the beast tide.
