Starfall

Disaster / Destruction

The Gods, angered by the races of the world, send the stars falling from the night sky to punish their children.

In the beginning the continents were whole and populated. Some of these continents were advanced, some not, and some of them had made some remarkable strides in the years they had, yet it all vanished in a blink. Their Gods, angered for reasons now lost to the ages, threw down the heavens and decimated the world as everyone knew it. The lands were devastated, torn apart in flame and crater, awash in floods and lost in rubble.

The main continents of this world were hit the hardest, fracturing into small island shards barely able to accommodate the survivors. These islands were renamed the Shards and were taken over by the strongest of the races, the Orcs. By far the most numerous of the races, they forced the remaining races to flee or be enslaved, taking most of the land for themselves.
