The Calamity

Disaster / Destruction

1022
10/6

The Calamity is an event that forever changed Fao.


Within recent days of the Cataclysm, strange things had been happening across every corner of Fao. Livestock had been mysteriously appearing, foods were turning a variety of different flavors, and sunrise became delayed or came early by a number of hours. Many concerned citizens went to the gods of the Old World Pantheon for answers, but they had none.   On the 10th of Sunpeak, 1022, it happened all at once. Many different bizarre situations occurred, some reports of which are mentioned here:

  • Fissures opened up in the ground and in the sky
  • The rivers turned to a sweet-smelling gas
  • Various animals and humans alike started boiling alive from the inside
  • Chunks of land, some of them miles wide, propelled themselves into the air
  • Ocean waves started beating up to hundreds of miles inland
Many more reports tell tales of insanity and havoc, many resulting in death and destruction.   In desperation to escape these chaotic circumstances, some Fao inhabitants hid inside Mountain, a place that seemed to be immune from whatever the Cataclysm wrought upon Fao. Rumors spread of the safe haven, which eventually came to be called Sanctuary, which has remained safe from the Cataclysm to this very day.
