Great Cataclysm

In the year 2020 the world was forever changed by the Great Cataclysm. Giant rifts began to appear, ripping the world apart and throwing it into a state of upheaval and destruction. The first and largest rift appeared in the North between North America and Europe. This rift, which came to be known as the Great Rift, caused a super volcano to form and erupt. This eventually led to a land bridge being formed between North America and Europe.

The rifts began spewing an ethereal substance into the air, which would come to be known as Rift Magic. After some time, the rifts subsided, but the damage had already been done. Humans and creatures alike were affected by the magic causing them to evolve.
