The Collision

Disaster / Destruction

The Castle of the Raven's Loft collides with Bator.

The Collision was a catastrophic event. Foretold by none and nothing, no nation or settlement was left unaffected, even if some had longer for the full effects of the Castle's collision to take hold. The ones worst effected by the Collision where the humane feudal kingdoms and the Tarrasqueborn alliances. Their land was at ground zero, with the Humane capital of Akoni being directly hit by the Castle as it collided and being utterly obliterated, killing all its inhabitants.   Beyond the immediate blast, most of the word was affected. Its tendrils reached over the land, devouring the magic from the world, destroying the forests and mountains, sabotaging the water cycle, absorbing all it could grasp into its walls. Of course, this was somewhat halted. The reasons are unknown but after years of carnage, the tendrils of the castle retreated, the walls stopped expanding, and the world stopped wasting further, but the damage was already done. The world became a massive desert, monsters erupted from the corpses of the dead, and the civilizations of the past were wiped away if they couldn't adapt.   Those that where the least affected where the Elven Realms on the Silvan continent of Eret Hm. Their empire was on the other side of the planet, meaning the influence of the Castle did not reach them as fast as those that where in the direct blast radius. But, they, too, suffered under the effects, eventually. Their lakes dried up, their forests burned, their cattle grew ill, and their very cities collapsed onto the dry ground that once harbored their home.
