Age of Holy Blight

The Age of Holy Blight was a schism initiated by The Second Emergence that resulted in full-blown war in the years of 738-904 ASE. The period of rising tensions between Niarists and Atheists had reached its peak late into the ASE era and resulted in full scale uprising; millions of Niarists were killed, captured or tortured during the later centuries alone, countless more so in the 3900+ year buildup.

The militant atheists, originating from predominantly Mechichai and Satus swept across Fordachai during the 8th-10th centuries ASE, eliminating anyone with ties to or beliefs in Niarism they found. Two Primonarchs lived through the uprising and successfully thwarted it by 904 ASE, executing the thousands of captives they hadn't already killed in battle.

By the end of this era, the Old Ahtex strain were all but wiped out, with the exception of Sengra, the sole survivor of her dwindling race. The Laht'aoc, known in modern times as The Taoclave was also mostly destroyed due to its allegiance to the Old Ahtex. The Anverse were less involved during the escalation of the Blight, but were driven into The Black Arm of Venkerhimoat still.
