The Third
Dragon War began. Hundreds of

try to approach the great wyrms. |

The
Year of Sorrows. This year carried the greatest tragedies of the
Magewar to date. The Knights of Thorne lose their power and disappear
from the scene. Many believe that the demi-god Thorne grew angry at
the treatment of his chosen and withdrew his power as a punishment.
The city of Querana is destroyed in a ball of green flame. Survivors
claim that they saw Demons fighting Celestials above the temple of Wee Jas
right before the explosion. The Great Death swept across the land.
This plague was magical in origin but none could find a cure. It

priesthoods of Boccob, Wee Jas, and Vecna are hit hard by the plague and
many worshipers leave these gods fearing divine retribution. |

gives them more runes to work into their magic. This rumor is
quickly quashed by the Runeweaver's Hierarchy as hysterics. They
start a new offensive against the Mystics. |
| -50 |
The
Runeweavers stage a surprise attack against Saracman's southern
stronghold. They destroy his otherworldly guards and breach the

Runeweavers, Saracman unleashes his power and creates a magical cataclysm.
The whole southern end of the continent is turned into a wasteland.

by the loss of life and destruction of the Southland, T'loric priests come
together and use divine power to lock up the remaining mages behind the
"Veil." The populace is overjoyed at the removal of the
threat of another cataclysm. Only minor magic exists in the world.
Any Arcane spells have a chance of sucking their caster into the Veil.
The day becomes known as the Day of Sending. |

T'loric religion is rekindled. |
| 523 |
A
strange withering plague escapes the great swamp and whole villages are
decimated. The southland is
crippled by the plague. The
plague lasts for only two months and then mysteriously disappears, leaving
thousands dead. The origin of
the plague and the reason for its sudden cessation is not known. |
| 525 |
Year
of Fire: A great rain of
fiery balls descends from the heaven across all of Traykon. Some sages and scholars believe it may have been a natural
phenomenon, but most religious leaders claim it is a sign from the gods of
dark times ahead. The newly
re-risen T'loric priesthood says it is the work of mages as they work to
circumvent the divine Veil holding their power in check. Hundreds are stoned to death or burned at the stake for
being suspected of practicing arcane arts. |
