Overview of Mythas
General History: Mythas is a world that has witnessed the rise and fall of empires, the shaping of civilizations by deities, and the catastrophic Divine Fall that altered the very fabric of reality. The history of Mythas is a saga of epic proportions, encompassing the Dawn Era of human civilization, the Mythic Era marked by the arrival of Eldkin and their spread across the continent, and the cataclysmic Divine Fall where the gods annihilated each other, leaving behind a world scarred and transformed.
The aftermath of the Divine Fall led to the Shadow Era, where humanity and Eldkin teetered on the brink of extinction, and the emergence of the Blightspawn – chaotic beings born from the remnants of divine essence.
