The Crimson Convergence (0 ACC)

The Crimson Convergence is the singular, pivotal historical event that defines the modern era of Eldunary. Occurring exactly 1,000 years prior to the current age, it was a celestial phenomenon that fundamentally rewrote the biological and magical laws of the planet. This event is responsible for the introduction of tangible magic into the world, the awakening of ancient powers, and the rapid divergence of humanity into multiple distinct races.

Date: 0 ACC (After Crimson Convergence)

Duration: 40 Days

Primary Catalyst: Appearance of the Red Star

Global Impact: Rapid Evolution, Awakening of Magic, Geological Shift

History & Origins

The Convergence began when a mysterious red star appeared in the sky over Eldunary. Its presence exerted a profound physical and metaphysical influence on the planet for exactly 40 days.

The Awakening of Magic: The star drew raw magic out of the earth, crystallizing it into tangible forms such as runes. This surge of energy flowed into the mountains, ending millions of years of slumber for the Golem King.
Rapid Evolution: The light of the star accelerated biological development at an impossible rate, compressing millions of years of evolution into a single month.
Divergence of Species: The event acted as a genetic catalyst for humanity and other creatures.
Folkwynd: The baseline human population evolved into the race known today as Folkwynd.
Climate Adaptation: Humans living in specific extreme climates evolved into distinct species: the Tharnex (in deserts), and the Ipadoras.
The Elven Purge: The light of the red star was lethal to the ancient Elven race, killing every Elf it touched. This forced the survivors to flee into the dense forests beneath the Jagged Mountains. These survivors evolved into the Darkmane Elves.

Appearance & Geography

Visual Manifestation: The event was characterized by a distinct red star that remained visible in the sky day and night.
Geographical Impact: The magical energy released during the Convergence concentrated heavily in mountainous regions, specifically the peaks of Nikolem, where it awoke the Golem King. The forests in the shadow of the Jagged Mountains became the only sanctuary for the Elves, permanently establishing the borders of what is now the Warring Darkmane Realm.

More Facts

Calendar System: The current calendar (ACC) did not begin when the star appeared, but started counting immediately after the star disappeared from the sky.
The Elven Shadow: The Darkmane Realm exists specifically because the ancient Elves had to hide in the physical shadow of the Jagged Mountains to avoid the star's lethal light.
Tangible Magic: Before this event, magic was seemingly intangible or dormant; the Convergence is the specific reason magic now exists in physical forms like runestones.
