Spirefall

The third Mythic Event in the Reccana timeline, occurring during the Obsidian Age.

At the end of The Great Silence, five enormous spires of obsidian and petrified wood were placed in key locations of the kingdom of Reccana. These spires suppressed the magical energies of the plane to four simple elemental expressions: Heat, Cold, Life, and Death. Civilization learned to flourish again with this stifled magic, and The Great Silence was forgotten, even as legend.

Eventually, an assassin slew the King and took the Obsidian Sceptre, which was said to exert control over the spires that regulated the use of magic in the kingdom. A group of elite mages were sent to stop the mad assassin's plan to control all magic, but though they killed the assassin, the sceptre was destroyed.

This set off a chain reaction that culminated in The Great Cataclysm that reshaped Reccana, leading to the Modern Age.
