Disaster / Destruction
Six hundred years ago, the world was plunged into chaos. The island of Mana Nui, once a conduit for heaven’s glory, suddenly cracked open and erupted forth a great stream of hellfire. The eruption destroyed the Crystal Caverns, sunk many of the surrounding islands into the sea and plunged the whole world into a literal and figurative darkness as the skies turned black and the magic that had sustained the Khana Empire dried up, fracturing the ancient empire. The link between heaven and earth was severed, and the power of the Khana’s crystals faded. For five years, ash choked the earth, and the cataclysm ushered in a great winter, that chilled the hearts of Cùl-tìre for generations to come.
