This chronicon contains a scholar's analysis on some of the magic-induced disasters that have occured throughout the world's history. The chronicon contains little details on the events themselves. It instead being written as an analysis on what after-effects the author could perceive at each event's location. The oldest event included in the book pertains to the World Wound - a country sized hole in the planet's crust. The book does not describe when this disaster took place. The author instead argues that it must've been the first of the events described due to the age of oldest records that mention each event. The by far most noteworthy and impactful event described is what's believed to be the cause of "year 0" on the current calender. The author points out that there seem to have been a conscientious effort to erase any and all records of what actually transpired, and that details is therefore hard to come by. Nevertheless, the current concensus is that, whatever happened, it is behind the desolation of a sizable - yet unknown amount - of the eastern supercontinent of Androgos. It is generally believed what cultures refer to as the Great Disaster, the Desolation of the East, and the Divergence of the Planes all are related to the same event, though it's unknown whether they refer to the same point of said event. This event is noteworthy due to 2 reasons: (1) it's the only event that appears to have been impactful enough for cultures to deem it's aftermath the start of a new era. (2) there are almost no mention of of magical-induced events for centuries after this event occured, which is something the author points out.
