Serpentsign
The Year of the Cometsign
One hundred days. Most civilization was wiped from the face of the world of Zant, and the remaining peoples of the world struggled to rebuild. Monstrous creatures of the dark and dreary overwhelmed the world when the Black Monsoon laid waste to Zant. It's continents, Aspathi, Estegrandt, Maqroas, Nysk, and Yddrilga were all ravaged.
Those remaining few people rebuilt for hundreds, even thousands of years. Some never recovered, or were completely eradicated from the start.
