The Lost World

The Exanian Kingdom

The dominant kingdom, which used to dictate how the old world functioned: Anywhere from culture to finance, from geopolitics to arcane, from education to expedition. Its last king, Saberus The Great, disappeared, followed by the rest of the world's leaders.

The Great Rapture

A major geopolitical event, that followed the disapperances of the world leaders. The chaos that plagued the world was later referred to as "The Great Rapture" by historians and politicians alike. It was eventually resolved, as a group of unknown figures, referring to themselves as "The Assembly Of Order And Harmony", managed to redefine the world's borders and restore relative peace to the world. Still to this day, nobody quite knows who The Assembly's members were, and how they managed to restore balance to the world.
