The world was rich, beautiful, and tranquil. Both reason and empathy had taken root in what was a golden age of miracles. The fruit of rationality bore an abundant harvest. The world’s population were captivated with the gifts their ingenuity had granted them. Gods walked with mortals and wonders were abundant.
Vastly removed from the universe we knew slept a place empty of light and lucidity. What we now call “The Dark” It’s tenebrous corners...hungry; eager to stalk and torment and consume. And, it would seem, the Dark was not distant enough.
History does not accurately measure, but most agree, the Visitation lasted more than a century. In the first hour alone, more than one billion people perished, their lives exterminated by inexpressible horrors that vomited out of space and time. Skies blacked with writhing atrocities while smouldering, mountainous abominations shambled across the landscape, levelling emptied cities. Aberrant beings surged from the oceans. The Strangers appeared everywhere; decimating, defiling, and devouring.
Out of a world population of more than nine billion people, less than twelve million survived the Visitation.
By virtue of its nature, the soul is composed of two distinct components. Mortals and Deities alike faced a darkness that affected even the best of them.
After more than a century of horror, most of the abominations left, destroyed each other, or were driven off by heroes and monsters.
No living person dare suggest (with tremulous voices scarcely held in check) that their lives have not been touched by tempestuous histories; events whose repercussions are felt today, more than four thousand years later. It is from this dark time came the sundering of good and evil of Deities who became less and more than they were and a deep seated greed, that would launch more than a hundred wars.
