E'ahna is a world that is recovering from a global catastrophe largely known as "The Event" that occurred about 2500 years ago. It goes by many names because the effects of this Event vary widely from place to place. Rifts to the elemental planes simultaneously tore open all across the world, changing it forever. There appeared to be some sort of domino effect, as what followed were many rifts to other planes, as a host of creatures (both good and bad) were released upon the world. The weave of magic sustained damage in the course of this Event and it has never been fully repaired. No one knows exactly who is to blame for what happened. To humans, The Event is like ancient history; to the older-lived races it wasn't so long ago.
