The Fall

"The Fall" refers to the cataclysmic event in which the ties between the people of Aldorea and magic were severed in retaliation to the actions of the Pantheon Knights' slaughter of the young King Adolm a millennia ago.

The Pantheon Knights sought the power of the Opal Throne and so decided to overthrow King Adolm. However, once they had slain him, the magic which kept them immortal turned against them, destroying them. In undoing such powerful magic, all magic in Aldorea fell. Wizarding towers across the realm were destroyed as the sigyls within combusted into arcane flames. Sorcerers stopped being born, and people became unable to forge ties with magic unless through divine favour, otherworldy gifts or pacts.
