The First Death of an Immortal by the Hands of Yharm
The First Death of a God - The Killing of Elune, the Goddess of the Moon, Change, and Magic by the Hands of Yharm
This was the first instance of an Ethereal being getting killed in the entirety of the history of the world. There are no other cases of a God or Goddess getting killed, but in the Era of Demise, Yharm gained the strength and power to absolutely eviscerate the Goddess of the Moon, Elune. This sparked the full out attack on Yharm and her minions.
It is said that the destruction of Elune was sudden and not foreseen, but it caused massive tsunami's all over the world as it is said that the moon disappeared for years and years, causing Terra Firma's wave patterns to forever change. The moon was said to have turned blood red when it finally appeared again after years of pitch black nights.
