Divine Retribution

The gods' swift and absolute response to the Kheth-Moran Empire's attempt to bind divine beings. This retribution manifested as the Sundering - a catastrophic event that buried the greatest civilization under sand.

The Gods' Wrath

Rather than allow themselves to be enslaved by mortal magic, the gods chose to destroy everything the empire had built. Their response was coordinated, immediate, and absolute.

Lasting Curse

The divine wrath continues to this day through cursed artifacts, unstable magic zones, and the ongoing fear of divine punishment that shapes desert culture.

Lessons Learned

Modern desert peoples deeply respect divine power and avoid the hubris that destroyed their predecessors. This cultural trauma has shaped religious practices and attitudes toward magic for over a thousand years.
