The Darkest Day
The flames of the Sun turned black. The Sun was now a black ball of flames, surrounded by a white halo. The World and the Moon was covered by an unnatural black light.
First, the Core of Dirt ruptured in two. The Core began fighting against itself, rejecting its other half. As this battle waged in the heart of the World, energies of Dirt started running wild and ferocious.
------First I said: "Wild Elements, unleash your might."------
------On Torus------
Once the Fertile Continent, now the Savage Continent:The flow of the first Cataclysm had enriched the lands and beings of the Fertile Continent. The flow that changed the land was but a drop compared to the raging flow of the Darkest Day.
The plants and creatures of the Fertile Continent saw an unnatural, explosive growth. Unprecedented mutations, multiplied ferocity and strength, cunningness bordering that of sapience. The Fertile Continent was now riddled with an ecosystem composed only of Monsters. This is how it became the Savage Continent.
[The Sharp Foxes]Nicolai, Thousandtails and the House of the Rising Sun arrived to their destination. The Savage Continent. Immediately the House was assaulted by legions of monstrous creatures. Swarms of giant and bloodthirsty insects, flocks of great predatory birds as well as wyverns and dragon-like creatures...
House: [16]
Nicolai: [10]+[1]
Thousandtails: [13]
Monsters: [4, 8, 10, 7, 5]
The endless assaults were pushed back without loss. Yet even with the calm returned, the House could not land. It remained in the skies, above the Savage Continent.
The Dexoth Ocean:Just like the Fertile Continent changed, the Dexoth Ocean changed. The Nodes overflowed with limitless power, which for a time made the Dexoths cackle with glee. All this power for them! They then realized they couldn't control all this power, and that soon they would be consumed by it.
That is, if Kor'Shugareth didn't interfere. The Greater Dexoth had foreseen an anomaly in the Nodes, and foretold this surge of power. He had been preparing for a long time, ever since the Node first appeared. With his allies and preparations, he was ready.
Kor'Shugareth harnessed the spilling power of the Nodes onto himself and his loyal followers without having their bodies and minds destroyed. All of them were reborn stronger, but three beings of note stood out.
Kor'Shugareth had become an Anathema.
Opera had become a Monster, severing her link from X'arilyg.
Reefwalker had become a free Aspect of the Oceans, his God being long gone.
The Dexoths allied with Kor'Shugareth had all become Greater Abominations.
The Dexoths were terrified by the newfound power of Kor'Shugareth and his followers. They knew that a new era was at hand, and their time was long gone now.
Once the Land of a Thousand Chasm, now the Grand Abyss:The Land of the Thousand Chasms ruptured, the land crumbling down the bowels of Dirt. After the first phase of the Darkest Day, only a single, massive Abyss bigger than Torus remained.
Once the Crystal Continent, now the Crystal World:The reverse happened to the Crystal Continent, which overflowing with Dirt's energies, fractured into countless rising crystalline spire. A massive collumn covered in spikes thrust itself from the Crystal Continent, rising beyond the atmosphere of Dirt. Instead of a Continent, now rested some continental-sized crystal lotus higher than the tallest mountain.
Tarrant and the Anchor:Thanks to the action of the Gods, Tarrant and the Anchor were spared of the Darkest Day's unchecked energies.
------On the Moon------
The protective blessing of Innanis Dominus protected the Moon from the Dark Sun. As if it were a live, violent beast, its black flames attempted to lick at the Moon.
------And I said: "Their sins and desires were always one."------
Everywhere across Dirt and the Moon, the curse of Hate plagued the minds of Mortals. Dissent and strife engulfed the world of mortals.
The Aokoa Theocracy and the Fachika Theocracies:The Hate of the theocracies took the form of a great hate for all other religions not their own. Immediately the Fachika Theocracies splintered into civil war, and soon after the Aokoa Theocracy attacked them in the name of a holy crusade.
The incoming Holy War would be devastating.
The Kingdom of Maxin:The Hate of the Kingdom of Maxin took the form of a great paranoia. From the rulers to the slaves, none trusted anyone anymore. The child backstabbed his parents, the servant killed the master and the master killed the servants.
The Kingdom of Maxin became riddled with conspiracies and plots. Slowly, order crumbled and madness spread.
The Dwarven Remnants:The Hate of the Dwarves took the form of an unsatiable greed. For the sake of their greed, they would do anything. Sell a member of their family, betray their closest friend... Anything was acceptable.
The small community of Dwarves was going to consume itself.
The Demons of the Lesser Sphere 1:The Hate of the DotLS1 worsened the ongoing "Waifu Wars".
The Renewed Magic Empire of Darselav:The Hate of the Renewed Empire of Darselav took the form of a terrible fear of death. For the sake of staying alive, the Drogos of Darselav started turning to forbidden, heretical practices. Only Talavars was spared from the plague, and he undertook a pilgrimage to Ascension's Peak to seek a cure for his people.
In the meantime, sacrifices, inhuman experiments and more kept going on in Darselav.
The Dexoth Dominions (Land)The Hate of the Dexoth Dominions only struck the Errthns slaves, whose Hate took the form of a loathing of their masters. They fomented rebellions and coups.
Soon, many would die for the rebellion, whether they would succeed or not.
Maaltha'Rumyel and the Dexoth Dominions (Ocean)The plague of Hate wouldn't have usually affected the Dexoths. But the fear they felt toward the unstoppable Kor'Shugareth weakened them, opening the ways for the plague. Their fear was multiplied, and they started seeking for ways to oppose Kor'Shugareth, no matter the cost.
MagariaThe Hate of the Magarians took the form of a loathing for weakness and uselessness. Weak people were despised, shunned. Failure was unacceptable, and would only lead to repeating the errors of the past.
Left unchecked, the Democracy of Magaria would disappear soon.
The Dexoth Dominions (Moon)The Dexoths of the Moon followed their visions, heading for Magaria to rule and prosper.
------Last I said: "There will be Good. There will be Evil. There will be Legends."------
Countless nameless Heroes appeared among the now cursed Mortals. Those with power quickly made good use of it, sending the world into further chaos.

The Feathered Justicar of Fachika.
The Four Inquisitors of Fachika.
