576th year of the Age of Enlightenment, approximately 1150 years before the Divine Accord. Teklanna Morantine betrays the Acropolis of Kereskaa to the Kytherans, who destroy the Acropolis. Suithrathus Luirmo transfers himself to his divining mirror to stay alive. Toross Rhistel becomes trapped in his mirror device, where he later perishes. Elgrex Anderra is kept safe in the Spire of Abjuration. Most of the other Masters and students die in the attack. After three days, Elgrex records a holographic message to her unknown lover, saying she will try to find survivors and travel to Geat-Mea, but her Seal is eventually found—presumably within the Acropolis—by Etorn Hadaran, suggesting she never escaped. Teklanna Morantine steals the Dragon Orb of Drimysthonontas from the vault.

Age of Decadence

A Tyrant rules Kaarst with his aid of his arcane followers. The wield magic to enslave other arcane practitioners, and use that magic to raise a giant statue of the Tyrant to the clifftop above the city. The populace does not take kindly to the cruelty and overthrow the Tyrant. His statue is collapsed into Kaarst Bay where only its hand reaches above the surface, coming to be known as Tyrant's Folly.

Great War

Lasting several hundred years, many souls were lost. Much of the destruction was performed by mages. Flying cities like Kythera were used as weapons.
