However, the people never forgot the Bunker, and slowly it became a place of reverence, a temple where the people prayed, a catacomb where those who passed on were buried, and, on occasion, a shelter for when a miasma-storm powerful enough to overwhelm the fences emerged. Over time, the Bunker itself eroded and decayed, becoming a concrete shell of itself. One generation later, they emerged, clearing out part of the ruins surrounding the Bunker and setting up the Aetheric Fences to keep the miasma away. Located in one of the great ruins, the village of Bunker got its name from the building they once took refuge in: during the cataclysm, the ancestors of the village took shelter in it, relying on its magic (for what else but magic could explain its wonderous workings?) to shield themselves from the deadly miasma-storms. Thus they became the first generation of gods. Thus these formless beings became the cornerstone for a new age. And with a will came the ability to exert power through their dominions. The process of developing a will, while shorter than the initial gestation time, was still a matter of decades, as opposed to the generations that cultivating these sparks took. But over time, the descendants of those who survived formed their own tribes and villages, and over time, those villages adopted certain customs and beliefs that eventually morphed into rituals and reverence, and over time, the faith and worship coalesced, congealed, creating a divine spark, shaped by the rituals of these tribes and villages to hold dominion over certain concepts, ideas, objects, and places.īut at first, these sparks sat inert, with no mind to guide them. It was, at first, not apparent the change that had been wrought. Unknown to the survivors, however, was that whatever force that ended the world changed it in more primal, fundamental ways, altering the very axioms of existence. What those who survived all agreed on, unknowingly, however, was that the world HAD been destroyed, the great civilization that once covered the world wiped away like so much chaff, leaving only a few scattered survivors and vast, decaying, deadly ruins. Some others claim that the end came by storm and sea, as the waters of the world ran over the earth due to mankinds carelessness. Others claim the end was caused by the Miasma, that horrible, noxious fog that choked the life out of man and beast alike. Some claim it was destroyed by fire, burnt to a crisp by nuclear weaponry.
Some claimed it was destroyed by ice, as the world froze over due to the snowy rage of god. The exact nature of the cataclysm was lost to the descendants of the few survivors. The world was destroyed not by the act of man, but by the cruel wrath of random chance.
