Armed with the righteousness of belief and might arcane, many of the worlds powers engaged each other in military contests for supremacy. The resultant war lasted over 3 decades and led to the creation of the Fields of Ruin and possibly also the Mouth of Torment, though that is still hotly disputed by modern scholars.

The Shattering
Disaster / DestructionNo event since the Celestial Reckoning has been so destructive nor as significant for the future of Boros as a whole. In an instant, shattered portions of reality manifested all over the world and changed its inhabitants forever more. Creatures and objects caught in these warps became new twisted entities, such as the owlbear, hippogriffs, and many more. No one knows what caused the Shatter, but many schools of thought have differing theories and suspicions surrounding the possible causes. -

The Storm of 975
Disaster / DestructionIn the spring of 975 a freak storm rolled down from The Greater Cairnheels and dumped enormous amounts of rain onto the northwestern section of Varda. The storm inflicted major damage onto The Village of Wreath, where The Bluevein River swelled to incredible heights and swept away large portion of the town. Other affected settlements were Redbridge, Wolfsburg, and the capital of Varderal. Gemheart was largely unscathed, however, not for lack of being in the affected area. The section of the city above-ground raised its storm shutters to protect its structure and siege weapons.
