Meteor Fall

Marking the beginning of recorded history, Meteor Fall is widely accepted as the single most important event in their planets past. The event permanently altered the way magic flowed and interacted with everything, as well as bringing with it all sorts of new and exciting, and also horrifying, possibilities.

The first days were wrought with unprecedented destruction. Entire populations vanished instantly as a storm of meteorites altered the landscape. Some would consider those people the lucky ones. Dust and debris filled the sky, blocking out the sun almost completely. Those left have an extremely difficult time adjusting to this new reality as crops fail and refuse to grow and subterranean dwellers begin to make their way to the surface more regularly. This period lasts several centuries, the sun eventually clearing enough to allow plant life to start recovering.

Not much is know about the world before the cataclysmic event reshaped their world, though many academics agree that magic wasn't as readily available or as easily controlled as it is currently. Magic is a tangible force, this much is certain. There just wasn't enough before, the flow of magic stifled on the planet, and only the most sensitive and gifted could exert some measure of control. The ley lines that had been on the planet were weak, some on the verge of fading away completely.

Only known to a handful of researchers, most of the objects that fell to the planet were typical asteroids. The rest were made up of crystallized pure raw magic. Very few fragments of these crystals survived, and the information learned from them was even less. Some speculate that the rocks were sent to their planet intentionally, others think that they had always been among their skies and luck, good or bad, brought them down. One thing they tend to agree on though, these massive sources of magic are the reason for the ley lines sudden surge in power, and newfound wellspring of magical energy on their world.
