An Aether explosion in Asht Vaal shatters the world

Disaster / Destruction

With the High King of Demoran disappearing in the wake of a Demonic invasion two years earlier, the Archmage of the Technical University of Magic, Engineering and Avionics tries to grab power off of the priesthood.

Failing in his attempt in a desperate last stand he unleashes the full brunt of an aether explosion in Asht Vaal. The explosion rips through the mountain range and wipes out Destorhan and much of the surrounding lands. Through Underdark connections that were unforeseen by the Archmage, the lands themselves buckle and rip. Tearing apart the continent at its seams, creating all sorts of new divisions in the lands. In the minds of the people around Siriande this is a result of the reborn Zahaziel, only very few people know the truth behind the destruction of the continent.
