Antediluvian Era

The Antediluvian Era is an early period in Earth's history. Biblically, it is described as the period between the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden and the Genesis flood.
There are two main interpretations for the Antediluvian Era in the SCP multiverse: the Kaktusverse version concerning the period between the fall of Audapaupadopolis and the Day of Flowers, and the version in SCP-6460 that included the Thurian and Hyborian periods.

====Fall of Audapaupadopolis====
Around 600,000 BCE,Project Paragon HUB the Children of the Night and the Fae crossed the sea and came to Audapaupadopolis to punish Adam el Asem for disrespecting their goddess Iýa.Entry Page: 6666Entry Page: 4840 Though Adam fought them, he was ultimately overpowered and taken to Titania's prison.
====Start of the Kingdom of Apollyona====
Around 450,000 BCE, Seth el Adam, third son of Adam el Asem, came to the lands of Old Europ after years of fleeing from his father and two brothers. There, he met Harrian the Elder, a tribesman and a member of the Homo antediluvianus subrace, and gave him Apollyon's Crown to give humanity a tool for protecting itself and to restore humanity to some semblance of its former heights under Adam. Seth then named Harrian "Apollyon", translating to "King over the Darkness." With this power, Harrian expanded his territories and created multiple cities, libraries and temples across the continent, and all the people of Old Europ accepted him as their king. 
====Expansion of the kingdom====
After Harrian's death, his descendants became known as the Sky Kings, and used the thaumaturgical powers of Asem's crown to strengthen the kingdom, turning it into the mightiest superpower in the Antediluvian world. These kings waged wars against various civilizations, most notably the Daevites, to gain more power. The first king to be named Sky King was Idus I von Apollyon, who was known as such after he slew a dragon. At this time in history, the kingdom of Apollyona had devolved into a cruel monarchical society in which anyone lacking the necessary power to do great deeds was regarded as a failure.
==== War with the Fairies ====
Around 400.050 BCE, Sarrus VIII von Apollyon, the second-to-last individual ever to be called "Sky King", set up a large army, perhaps the largest army in recorded history, made up of all warriors from Apollyona's kingdom and its allied tribes. This army was led by the most important knights in Europ at that time: La Hire the Fierce, Lancelot the Conqueror, Hector the Stalwart and Ogier the Faithful. Sarrus VIII von Apollyon then went with this army to the distant lands of the Faeries and fought them. During this quest, Sarrus IX, Sarrus VIII's son, ruled the kingdom in his father's absence. 
Apollyona's armies easily defeated the Faeries, since the Fae were already weakened by the Children of the Night's uprising. After the war ended, Sarrus VIII von Apollyon destroyed the Faeries' holy city, killed the Faerie governor and took a nameless Fae princess, the last surviving member of the Faerie nobility, as a hostage. On the journey home, the Fae princess placed a curse on Apollyon's house and its kingdom. While the princess was uttering this curse, a terrible storm engulfed Sarrus VIII's fleet and the chains binding the princess caught fire and destroyed all of Sarrus VIII's flagships. While desperately trying to save his ship, Sarrus VIII was caught in the chains and was dragged down to his death.
==== Decline and fall of Apollyona's kingdom ====
With Sarrus VIII dead, Sarrus IX von Apollyon became the new king of Apollyona. As soon as he was named Sky King, he ordered the Fae princess to be sealed in an iron tomb deep underground. In the following decades, many catastrophes such as flooding, famine, crop failure and pestilence struck Apollyona. Meanwhile, the four knights were corrupted because of the princess' curse and transformed into demons of Faerie origins. This caused the four knights to flee from Apollyona with Ogier being the first to flee, followed by La Hire, Lancelot and finally Hector. 
While Apollyona's kingdom was crumbling, the Great Profanities came and wreaked havoc across all of the kingdom. The Vinuvinex, also called "the Profane Restrictor", was the first to come into Apollyona and froze to death anyone who didn't seek shelter, including Sarrus IX's young daughter, Princess SariaEntry Page: 6765. For many months, the Vinuvinex tormented the people of Apollyona until an unknown woman with a hammer and a crested shield defeated it. However, following the Vinuvinex's defeat, Sarrus IX came out of his shelter and lied to his people that he was the one who defeated the Vinuvinex. After some time, the Lamenellant, also known as "the Profane Adamant", arrived into Europ's land and destroyed lots of smaller towns and villages around Apollyona, but it was ultimately driven out by Lancelot. After these two Great Profanities destroyed much of Apollyona's kingdom, Sarrus IX tried to set up another army to annihilate the Faeries for good, but failed to do so, since all of his commanders had long since abandoned him and he had very few warriors at his service. Finally, YASH, also called "Profane Dark", came into Apollyona at dusk and consumed everything that was left of the city, killing Sarrus IX and ending once and for all the rule of the Sky Kings over Europ.
==== Invasions of the Children of the Night and the Day of Flowers ====
Around 400.010 BCE, a few years after the fall of the House of Apollyon, the Children of the Night crossed the sea and arrived into the lands of Europ, where they destroyed everything that was left of Apollyona's kingdom. They captured many of the surviving humans and took them into the darkest Faerie forest. The Children tortured the captured humans in the most brutal ways imaginable for their own amusement and used the humans' minds to communicate with each other. The Children continued to butcher, enslave and kill humans for 10 years until the sorcerer Noah El Mehtoh used all of his powers to summon the Great Flood, sacrificing himself in the process. The day after his death, every flower on Earth bloomed at once, followed by a torrential global rainstorm. With this storm, most traces of the antediluvian world were wiped off the face of the planet and the very few remains of that world were hidden by Seth in Audapaupadopolis.
