Ascension

Breaking apart kingdoms, disconnecting societies, the ascent marked the beginning of the current era. A giant eathquake followed by earsplitting sounds of stone and rock, violently being pulled apart and shattered, as all landmasses began to rise. Buildings collapsed, people panicked as the ground beneath their feet unwaveringly took to the skies, pulling everything with it. Eventually, an irritating calmless befell the world as the ascent slowed down and finally stopped merely hours after it started. Billions of souls found themselves now stranded on levitating islands. Scattered and bewildered, their former existances pulled from their grasp, surrounded by ruins of their cities and the few buildings that somehow survived, the situation called for the exceptionally brave to take charge. Gathering the survivors they led them on the path into this unknown future that was forced upon them by the world itself. Cities were rebuilt, new ways of providing for the community were created. Throughout the centuries, the descendants of these brave leaders founded their own kingdoms based on the ideals of the pathfinders, the heroes that brought hope during the darkest moment in Ekkirahs history.
