The Rending

The Rending or Cataclysm is a critical point in history on Pangera and it can be assumed the calendar starts from the end of the Rending (AR).

The Rending is the event which lead to the dungeon reaching the surface as mana levels increased exponentially and monsters rampaged across the land. As the Rending happened (as of the current story) several millennia prior, much is speculated on by the scholars of the various countries, though one certain fact is that the Ancients rose during this time as the high levels of mana were sufficient for their cores. It is speculated by some that the Rending was one long and powerful flood.

Some time during the end of the Rending, survivors came together to form the Abyssal legion and clear the surface of monsters while also preventing more from rising up. It should be noted that the Resurrected appeared a few centuries afterwards and it is alluded to in the flood arc that an event like the Rending may occur again.
