The Year of Perpetual Ash

The Year Of Perpetual Ash
The Year of Perpetual Ash directly followed Judgment Day (The Judgment) after the fallen star destroyed Kymal and the Ironseat Ridge in one fell swoop. It lasted from the 23rd of Thunsheer in 892 to the 5th of Unndilar in the year of 893. The never ending darkness that ensued allowed for creatures and monstrosities to walk out and free among the denizens of Tal'dorei. This was a nearly apocalyptic time for Tal'dorei where many fought day to day just to survive. Desperation, famine and drought ruled the land while monsters previously confined to story tales were now terrorizing the land. The Year Of Perpetual Ash still haunts those who lived through it to this day and it is much of the fuel that feeds the ideologies of The Federation of the Faithful. Fear is a powerful emotion and fear reigned higher than any god or government during this dark time. No one wishes to see anything of its like return and everyone does what they can to make sure it will never happen again.

The Year Of Perpetual Ash ended the following year at the start of Unndilar, when the world's most powerful arcanists, priests, and shifters came together and for 3 straight days performed powerful magicks and rituals and finally cleared the skies of ash. The sky is still scarred from all the magic used that day and many people now where eye protection due to the fact that the sun shines brighter than before. The the sky has a noticeable orange tint to it as well. However this day is still seen as a glorious day where Tal'dorei was saved from certain doom. This day became known as Sunday, named for the sun finally appearing from behind the ashen skies and is still celebrated across Tal'dorei to this day.
