The War of Magic, which lasted for over two centuries, was one of the most devastating conflicts in the history of Yavarra. The war was fought between those who believed in the power of divine magic and those who believed in the power of arcane magic. The conflict finally came to an end with a catastrophic event known as the Shattering.
The Shattering occurred in the year 3481 AA, during the 217th year of the War of Magic. The event was triggered by a massive magical explosion that originated from a floating city in the sky. The explosion was so powerful that it shattered the city into countless pieces, which fell to the ground below.
The impact of the falling debris caused a chain reaction that triggered similar explosions in other floating cities. Within a matter of hours, most of the floating cities had been destroyed, and their inhabitants had fallen to the ground.
The Shattering had a profound impact on the world of Yavarra. The destruction of the floating cities caused widespread chaos and devastation, and many civilizations were plunged into darkness. The survivors of the Shattering were forced to rebuild their lives on the ground, and many of them struggled to adapt to their new circumstances.
The Shattering also had a significant impact on the practice of magic. Many of the magical artifacts and spells that had been developed during the Age of Arcanum were lost in the destruction, and many of the world's most powerful mages were killed in the event. The survivors were forced to start over and develop new ways of practicing magic.
Despite the devastation caused by the Shattering, some scholars believe that the event was a necessary one. The war had been raging for over two centuries, and many believed that it would never end. The Shattering forced the combatants to put aside their differences and work together to rebuild their shattered world.
Today, the ruins of the floating cities still litter the world of Yavarra, serving as a reminder of the catastrophic event that changed the course of history. The survivors of the Shattering have built new civilizations on the ground, and magic continues to be practiced in new and innovative ways.
