The Macean Massacre

The Macean Massacre was the cataclysmic event where the Zodiac Beast Sagitor and his minions landed on Macea and the neighboring kingdoms, causing massive destruction to the kingdoms and the surrounding areas.

Background
Following the death of Kaz'dur that ended the realm wars a curse was placed on Terrum by Kaz'dur and Nox Nihil that made it impossible for the gods to gate-travel to the realm. Instead they only were able to send their avatars and choose champions imbued with a portion of the gods power. The curse also sent twelve monsters known as the twelve zodiac beasts whose goal was to destroy terrum and the other realms under the control of Tari'el and his children.

On the 23rd of Julin 0e 34 the coronation of Eluard Marlow, eldest son of William I Marlow and Sophia Sunly, king and queen of the kingdom of Macea was taking place. As Sagitor and his minions landed on Macea and the neighboring kingdoms massive destruction and panic erupted. Those who survived the initial attack fled the cities to escape the massacre. The capital of Macea was destroyed entirely and the castle was in ruin. Thousands were killed in the first landing and tens of thousands were slaughtered in the following massacre by Sagitor and his children.

The entire royal family was killed in the landing except Willhelm Marlow, the second son of the king and queen of Macea, Willam I Marlow and Sophia Sunly. He survived only because a maid shielded him from an attack by one of the children of Sagitor. He escaped with the help of Adáir the blacksmith and around one hundred others joined the prince towards the southern kingdoms were they would be safe.

Aftermath
The event was catastrophic for the Northern kingdoms, only a few kingdoms on the northern point of the continent survived due to their geographical seclusion. Following the landing hundreds of thousands people fled towards the southern kingdoms to escape with their lives. This day onward would be written down in history as the macean massacre.
