The Age of Discord
A faction of humans recklessly attempted to harness magical forces beyond their understanding, triggering a catastrophic event that severed the bond between humanity and the Celestials. The world was devastated, empires shattered, and once-united civilizations became isolated from one another. This age marks the end of the First Era of Harmony and the beginning of the long fragmentation of Landorya.
Causes
A faction of humans, driven by ambition and curiosity, attempted to wield magic that they did not fully understand, overstepping the boundaries set by the Celestials. This recklessness triggered a catastrophic rupture in the bond between humanity and the divine Celestials.
Key Events
- •Human factions begin unlocking the secrets of magic, a sacred art previously reserved for the Celestials
- •A reckless attempt to harness unknown magic triggers a catastrophic event
- •The bond between humans and the Celestials is severed
- •Empires are destroyed and once-united civilizations become isolated from one another
Outcome
The catastrophe ended the First Era of Harmony, plunging the world into fragmentation and discord. Countries were divided and the great united empires collapsed into isolated remnants.
Consequences
The severing of the bond with the Celestials left lasting scars across Landorya's civilizations, cultures, and landscape. The Age of Discord set the stage for the Third Era of Restoration, during which the world slowly begins to heal and a prophecy foretells the arrival of three siblings who may restore lost harmony.
