3rd Sinneswald

The 3rd Sinneswald or the Greatest Cataclysm was one event that took place tens of millenia ago and redifined life as we know it.

History
During the Age of Genesis, the Ancient Gods confined the New Gods in the core of the recently formed planet of Onyria to protect their position as official gods.

To make sure they wouldn´t scape, they created 7 crystal mountains with humongous quantities of power to seal the Defeated Gods forever, the 7 crystal seals .Then, demons were created to torture those gods forever and celestials to protect those seals. Mankind was created after, to add some content to the world.

But there was one man who wanted to have all mankind under his fist, he was known as Amos the Conqueror. He tried to conquer all mankind in the Greatest War. But he realised that he couldn´t win that war with just his army.

He started another war against the celestials, the War of the Seals, to take over the crystal seals and release their power against his enemies. Celestials were brave warriors and mighty soldiers, but they couldn´t match Amos´ army and had to enclose themselves in eternity vaults. But a celestial profecy said that they would be awoken when the final battle would be fought, Armageddon. They would destroy both sides to ensure peace forever.

Little after that victory, Amos had total control over the seals and released the crystals´ energy against his foes, not knowing their real power. This caused the detonation of the 7 crystal seals created obliterating disasters all over Onyria.

The New Gods, seeing that their seals had been removed, used their power to destroy their jail and kill the Ancient Gods. Everything combined resulted in Onyria blowing up and dividing the world in two parts.

The debris that floated in the higher parts of the atmosphere was known as Eolia, while the imploded core would be Tartarus.

Unlike the Ancinet Gods, their new counterparts didn´t create a stable alliance, rather they started the Second Divine War, which is still being fought to date.

Consequences
The zeitgeist suffered a great change, specially for Mankind. This meant that the ancient technology that the pre-cataclysm men used was lost forever. Neither the floating islands in Eolia nor the toxic atmosphere in Tartarus helped. Men were sunk in a dark age until the 4th sinneswald.

Devilkind gained a lot of power after this cataclysm, since Tartarus had the perfect conditions for their developement. The Legion of Hell saw its beggining after this age. Also, those climate conditions mixed with the mutagenic gases resulted in the creation of the Orcs.

Celestials sealed themselves in the eternity vaults during this event, so they were practically extinct, except when one of those vaults failed and released the celestial, which would attack everything until he´s stopped.
