The Cataclysm



Not much is known about the specific causes of the Cataclysm, however most blame overreach by the wizards of The Kar'daj Empire. Whatever the cause, many portals to strange realms opened across the land, bringing in terrifying beasts and irradiative magics. Only a few small areas were spared this destruction, including the land around Lake Darry. Naturally protected by mountains, the Dwarven settlements in the region and the imperial outpost of Ikeah were able to take in many refugees from the surrounding lands.
