Many attributed the cause of the Desolate Cascade to a divine war where the gods themselves were said to have turned against each other out of
jealousy and ambition. Zephrael, the Daemon of Deception, is often blamed
for sparking the supposed conflict between the Divine Kindred. None can say precisely what happened to the gods who participated in the
war. Some historians say it was a slaughter. Others believe the gods
were consumed by paranoia. Others state
that some gods retreated from this plane to someplace the other Kindred could
not reach them. While nothing is certain about what happened to the
gods thereafter, it is quite certain they no longer interact with the Material Plane.
