Notable events of the Dark Ages include:
'''Babel, God of Oblivion''' claims dominion over the realm of Chaos. He teaches that, since the Unnamable broke into Creation, existence itself has spiralled inevitably towards a perfect singularity, where all are one with the primal void. The acceptance of this destined end is accompanied by a refusal to be bound by external morals. Freedom of thought and action are paramount to Him, for why place importance in such ephemeral and impermanent ideals?
*The sundering of the [[:category: Continents|continent]] into two land masses, called [[Sapience]] and [[Meropis]].
*The razing of the Imperial provices and wide-spread decline in literacy.
*The collapse of [[villages|village]] economies, continental trade, and the loss of [[ships|shipcraft]].
*A renewal of hostilities between the [[cities|kingdoms]] of [[Ashtan]] and [[Shallam]].
*The discovery of [[Durandian Steel]].
*The signing of the [[Treaty of Meropis]].

== History ==
The first act of Lord [[Sarapis]] at the outset of the [[Chaos Wars]] was to create Lord [[Babel]], Patron of those who seek [[Chaos]]. Caught for aeons in the mysteries of Chaos and Creation, little was heard of Babel on the [[Prime Material Plane]] save for terrible whispers caught by the [[Revolutionaries of Chaos]]. A small [[clans|cult]] headed by visionary '''Flair Ze'Dekiah''', the Revolutionaries zealously sought the return of the ancient god. In the 475th year following the fall of the [[Seleucarian Empire]], the cult succeeded. Rumblings of Chaos disturbed the realms as an enormous seal etched with occult markings was revealed in the bowels of the [[Great Rock]]. By the closing of the year, it was shattered. Showing Himself to mortals for the first time in centuries, Babel emerged from beyond the seal and was immediately set upon by [[Eris]]. Draining Him of His [[Divine essence|essence]], She cast Herself back through time to the emergence of the [[Unnamable Horror]] and stepped wholly beyond existence as we know it. Paradoxically, back in the present, Babel reclaimed His place as God of Chaos.
 
Babel wields the [[Flame-Bright Spear]].
