Lore History

## The History of the Land

First being hit by The Calamity, the Overworld was devastated by the amount of meteors that hit it's surface. Craters almost everywhere, the earth below your feet was in pain. Over time, the land regenerated itself, healing, eventually creating a new landscape that became livable again. The Nether wasn't effected too badly, as the Nether was always in a chaotic state, so nothing much changes there. The End was left wiped, life drained dry, until nothing was left. Nothing could regenerate.

When the Calamity ended, the Overworld could finally regenerate. Humans, mobs, and even the newer creatures that entered the world from the meteors began to mutate. Many years have passed, in that time, wars, religions, and on a funny note some racism formed. Much had happened in 550 years, In such a short time, the Overworld healed itself enough, to withstand the major events that took place. From a floating rock, to a tree with curses, and a devastating battle with a god, this era was a beginning of many special events. (see Archives in the 1.16.5 Forge Server section)

However, this all changed when the End was revealed to the Overworld. When the time came, warriors from all around, gathered at a portal to fight a menacing being, an entity that could end them if it was not put to a stop. Using the Ender Dragon, this being made itself stronger, along with it's lesser beings that defended it. The battle was intense, but when it all came to an end, the dragon was slain, and the warriors came victorious. some years after slaying the Ender Dragon, a wave of energy/magic was released, this was enough to re-seal the End, and hit the magic barriers of the Nether and Overworld. This warped the dimensions, and once again they had to regenerate themselves. Although the Overworld was devastated, perhaps there are a few objects left behind to find... perhaps people we know. This magic wave, is known as the Great Collpase.

## The History of Magic

### Where it all started...

Magic comes from the void. The void isn't just an eternal darkness, rather just a filler between dimensions, all placed on this canvas called reality. Magic simply is all around the void. The Calamity allowed access to this magic. When the Calamity happened, it put rips in many nearby dimensions. Wherever it went it extended and linked the magic barriers these dimensions possessed, linking them, and making tunnels. These tunnels would be known to be portals. However, most of these dimensions were cut off and closed, because of how far away they are. The Nether and End were the only dimensions that remained, because they're the closest, the End being the farthest of the three.

### What is magic?

Magic can be, and it is, many different things. Magic isn't physical, rather it could even be considered a dimension all on it's own, due to the fact that it's so incomprehensible and almost impossible to wrap out minds around. Magic can come in many different ways, whether it is to do physical things, or mental. An example of magic having a physical effect is the void, although the void contains all the magic possible, entering it will simply crush you.

Although magic is beyond our understanding, we do know how to use at least a small part of it. The most commonly known magic in use is Enchanting, Alchemy, and Teleportation. Multitudes of magic follow under these categories, but these two categories are the most well known, and you could even ask around and they could tell you the bases of it. Other magics, even going into forbidden magic, has either been lost through time, hidden, or it just hasn't been discovered yet!

### How Origins began...

Origins came from the Calamity. Calamity affected the humans, to morph/mutate into "Origins," many becoming a half species of something, or something else entirely. When it comes to magic and origins, there are two main categories, Mutation Based Origins, and Magic Based Origins. Mutation based origins came to be when the Calamity struck. Humans, began to mutate, some almost immediately, some resisted after a few hundred years. In the case of the Magic based, these Origins already existed, the Calamity just made way for these origins to enter the dimensions. You can find the history of every origin here, in the Origin of Origins.
