The world as was once known ended some 972 lunar cycles ago. Know one knows exactly what happened in that time. What we do know is that it has been come to be known as the Cism. None of the 9 Kingdoms know exactly how this event occurred, or what it entailed; other than the decline of humanity's once golden civilization, that had brought peace to billions. Scholars have debated for millenia whether this term referred to some sort of cataclysm, or even a schism between tribes, but whatever answers there are, have been lost to the ether of time.
Many have sought answers within the ruins of ancient metropolises, most to their own demise; but those that have returned, speak of knowledge beyond measure, an advanced civilization with the ability to cure any disease, and bend the elements to their will, for comfort and warfare. These returners, as they have been come to be known, never live very long, although no one knows why exactly.
