A god remembers the day Khassid broke.

For nearly five millennia, Khassid flourished beneath the guidance of its gods. Yet mortal ambition, divine rivalry, and unchecked power slowly strained the balance between creation and those entrusted to guide it.

Speaking to Aleryn, Illario recounts the events that culminated in the Cataclysm: the corruption spreading through the pantheon, the anguish of The Wild, the return and judgment of Aeru, and the divine reckoning that forever changed Khassid.

His account reveals:

• The events remembered as the Prelude to the Scream
• The roles played by Tlaxitan, Kaemir, Miné, and Thyrron
• The devastating Scream of The Wild
• Aeru’s return and judgment of the pantheon
• The unmaking of Thyrron
• The burden placed upon Miné after Thyrron’s erasure
• The gods’ efforts to restore the wounded world
• The creation and purpose of the Divine Accord
• The lasting fractures left behind by the Cataclysm

Presented as an in-world conversation, this eleven-page lore document offers a divine perspective on the defining catastrophe of Khassid’s history—and the failures, judgments, and uneasy compromises that followed.

The world survived.

The gods were never permitted to forget why it nearly did not.
