Gancassocaer Comet

Approximately 3,000 years before the campaigns of Sylansse take place, a comet or other astrological body slammed into the world. It struck the rear hemisphere and because of that, the current civilizations on the front hemisphere know rather little about what happened.

It is known that the devastation caused by the collision affected the entire world. Weather patterns were changed for at least three years, and other changes took place, including Ranasckar Island being broken off of a continent and set adrift.

Many claim that the collision brought magic to the world, but history tends to prove that simply a myth. Others claim that the comet was not a comet or simply physical other thing, but instead a gargantuan creature of some sort, often referred to as Gancassocaer or the Great Crab. While this legend is nearly impossible to disprove, there is no evidence that this myth is any more reality.

The results of the impact killed everything for miles. It took years before the world as a whole recovered from this cosmic event. But the world would never be the same.
