The Fall
The Fall Interregnum was an apocalyptic event known by hundreds of names across Geron in various languages, translating to things like 'Second Sharad', 'Sixth Sun Birth' and 'Veilfall'.
While the exact cause of the Fall is unknown, accounts of the event say that Geron's moon Sharad say that a comet appeared, swelled enormously in size for several days, and brought with it a hail of falling stars that broke apart across Geron's lands and seas, ringing Geron as though it were a bell. Volcanoes erupted, tidal waves washed away coasts and ports, rivers surged inland, and the sky filled with smoke. For a period of several years, the surface of Geron was covered in constant lighting storms of dust through which one could barely see the sun, and a vibrant fuschia dust or rain is reported to have fallen from the sky, poisoning the minds and bodies of the living. In the literal and proverbial darkness that followed, peoples such as the Anterosians, Istamarians, Kashdan-Kur, Algarkali and Yu'Shar who had already been utterly devastated by these disasters are said to have battled both strange creatures and strange phenomena brought by The Fall, with lucky few being saved by the Stewards of Keidon. Once considered doomsay cultists and alarmists, the Keidonians led many into the structures they had excavated and fortified in the previous age, attempting to start society anew with the 12 books of their prophet. While the contents of only 9 books remain to this day, the books detail the reconstruction of society with all manners of minutia and contain predictions about the Fall itself, essentially acting as a foundation for future generations.
The fall left many scars on the world of Geron, exposing ancient dangers from deep in the world, especially those of the Great War.
