====== The Worldbreak ======
The Worldbreak is a magical cataclysm that wiped out civilization roughly 2,000 years after humanity began to walk the earth.
The details of the story vary widely between cultures and religions, but the basic structure story is told universally.
Men had indulged in the unchecked use of magic to reach unbounded heights of power and prosperity, leading to a disaster that destroyed the entire surface of the world.
The form of this destruction is not agreed; most attest to a worldwide flood, but others say it was a planet-wide fire, and others say mankind simply dissolved away leaving empty ruins.
Only a small group was able to survive, led by [[..:characters:Nimas]], who rebuilt after the destruction.
His group would pass down a belief that magic should never be used, a warning that was not heeded.
