Banishing War

The Banishing War is the name given to the "battle" between the gods and mortals. By all accounts, it was a short fight, the title awarded to provide the illusion that there was actually a struggle. Protected by the Biomancer's magics from the furnace, t he mortal armies were gathered to the center of the world on the scorched plains beneath the Eye of Heaven. Once there, powerful rituals were enacted to bind the gods into a corporeal form. The gods happliy appeared, used the remainder of their power to blast a crater over 500 miles across, killing all those present who were not within the hastily erected shields wrought by the wizard leading them, and then danced away to other worlds to continue their capricious reign.
