Era of Darkness
Metaphysical / Paranormal eventThe Era of Darkness immediately follows the events of the Unraveling. The era is named for the mysterious disappearance of all magic from the land for a period of about 300 years. The lack of magic was devastating to the Cidian Empire, experiencing an immediate power vacuum after all the elite in their floating cities crashed to the earth and having significant causalities. This time is also represented by great famine, spreading of disease, decline of trade, increased instability, and mass migrations away from urban centers.
